Rainshadow Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Well, as it turns out, the measily 1.2" that fell from 18Z-0Z here in Ewing melted down to a whopping 0.55" liquid. 2:1 ratio. So its obviously falling but lots and lots of melting. Total for the day up through 0Z is 1.54" liquid for 3.0" of snow. I probably had a lower ratio, as if that's a contest I wanted to win. 1.2 inches here, 1.53" after it started snowing, although we want back/forth snow. sleet & rain, even ended as rain after the intensity diminished.

chubbs Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 1.2" here. I collected 1.35 in rain guage probably missed some due to clogging. In addition to poor ratios sleet was a big negative here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sun is doing a good job on the roads.....no worries there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes_Probably_Maybe_No Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Changed to wintry precip yesterday around 10 am and i dont think we ever went back to rain thereafter. Got about 3" of snow covered by sleet that is covered by snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowanBrandon Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Saw some flakes at times, but just a light light dusting on cars when all was said and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoconoSnow Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Nice, you guys in NW Jersey wooped me. 12.5" but still coming down lightly. Might finish with 13" tops here. Yeah, 10.0 here, reports of 11-13 inches above 1500 feet here in Pike County. We seemed to have been just too far west for the real intense banding. Congrats to Nw Nj though!

Rainshadow Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 I am not buying that snow measurement. There was a Cocorahs observation from Mount Laurel that was exactly the same, so it must be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_AR_ Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Thousands remain without power in the Lehigh Valley. I am good up here in the southern Poconos, even my cable/internet/phone is back. Lehigh University in Bethlehem is still without power. They are urging students on campus without power to leave their residence halls and seek shelter with friends/family off campus until power is restored. Also classes are cancelled tomorrow.

Incredible, but not surprising given the amount of wet snow that fell yesterday and the associated weight on the trees (with leaves) and power lines.

dryslotted Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 There was a Cocorahs observation from Mount Laurel that was exactly the same, so it must be true. I had about the same, and I'm right near the 'border' of Mt. Laurel. Most of it from the extended period of rain/sleet/graupel/slurpee/big flakes that we got before the changeover, which begrudgingly happened around sundown...

LVblizzard Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Power still out at my house. PPL says it could take until Tuesday to restore here. This has been my least favorite overperforming snowstorm ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Took a drive up to northern Hopewell and the Amwells this afternoon, where reported totals were twice what I had in Ewing. Lots of trees and branches down, some wires still across roads here and there. It appeared that there is no power across much of northern Hopewell Township and Hopewell Boro as all the traffic lights were out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombo82685 Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 That was a very wet system. So far 1.82 melted down in the davis gauge and it still going. If only it was january. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around here (under 4 inches of snow) most trees made it through unharmed other than the random large limb that fell in places. Never thought I'd say "I'm glad" I got under 4 inches of snow.

I've had similar thoughts. Though of course, also glad since it verified my forecast perfectly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
