Snow coming down at a good clip now with a 20 dbz band in S. Somerset County.

[Quakertown needs snow]

taking a drive to hazelton in a bit where there is even less white.

[Quakertown needs snow]

1.0"

31.7

light stuff falling

[Snow_Miser]

Just measured on my grill outside and I measured a half inch.

The snow didn't stick to the grill at first, so it probably is a little more than that on the grassy surfaces, but the wet snow is hard to measure, because it's accumulating in "clumps" on the grass.

[Parsley]

As of 6:30am: 0.8"

31 degrees with steady light snow.

[Snow_Miser]

I'm continuing to get a 15-20 dbz reflectivities over my area.

Light to Moderate Snow

Temp 36 Degrees.

[chubbs]

Up to 1.2" been snowing here for 12 hours, accumulating for 7

[dryslotted]

wet snow dead calm every branch is coated.

that's the only positive take away for me this morning. the woods behind the house look as majestic as ever, all coated in white. Everything else, naso much...We're somewhere around a half inch, not worth measuring. Hoping for an overperformer later, at least they'll be some actual cold air around...

[BucksCO_PA]

Light Snow

[Parsley]

32 and picturesque FTW outside at 7 AM.

Agreed. Nice little burst coming through now with 10-15dbz overhead. Maybe we can eek out 1 whole inch this morning.

32 and picturesque FTW outside at 7 AM.

Yeah, the snow looks nice on the pine trees, making the branches droop ever so slightly...

I'm almost not able to see the "tips" of the grass poking out of the ground.

[noctilucent]

Warrington, PA. 31.8 degrees with very light snow and a light North wind. The official trash can lid observation is .8" (note the decimal point to the left).

As Ben Stein would say: "Wowww".

[dryslotted]

temps finally dropped below freezing in the last half four or so. lt to mod snow falling right now...

[RowanBrandon]

An absolutely beautiful snowfall.

[96blizz]

Perfect snowfall. Beautiful, safe and Rangers/Flyers game a go behind the net. Life is good.

[THEREALTOR1]

very light snow, approx 32 degrees in Camden, De. Heavy dusting on the grassy areas, roads simply appear wet. Appears that i'm right on the line with rain just to my south, hopefully what little bit of snow there is on the ground will help keep temperatures down so we're all snow from here forward in case anything does set up over us.

[Rainshadow]

0.5" here. Roads, sidewalks wet. Dead calm and dead quiet out with our dog this morning. My kind of snow.

[Parsley]

0.9" total

Light snow continues at 31 degrees.

[phlwx]

7:45 AM measurement is 0.7". Yay me.

[RowanBrandon]

Good thing my NWS forecast says rain likely before 1 PM, considering it's been snowing all morning. Maybe the people over there are still sleeping?

[Feb]

31 with very light snow falling. Beautiful morning with snow clinging to everything but the roads. A little over an inch.

[iceman56]

Still light snow here in NW Chesco, 1.3" so far with just about about 2-1/4" in yard with previous snow.

31.1 degrees

[chubbs]

1.3" Snow is lighter now.

[Parsley]

Nice picture. Temperature slowly creeping up here, even with snow falling. 32 degrees.

[noctilucent]

8 AM...2/11/12.... 32.1 degrees with a light north wind.

Still snowing lightly, but no additional accumulation. In fact, there seems to be a little melt off.

I expect nothing more unless temps drop and we get a heavier burst later. With the sun up and temps above freezing now, I am cleaning off the trash can lid and going with 0.8". Double digits finally. As far as this being our largest of the season. I think Oct 29 will stand as my largest of the season.

Edited to correct temperature which I mis-typed due to dyslexia, I guess.

[ChescoWx]

Beautiful morning.

Snow since 530a 0.5" (it has been snowing at around 0.25" per hour since 430a

Total Snow so far 1.5" of wet snow.

Temp has been below freezing here since 720pm last night but still little accumulation outside of some slush on the road

Continues to snow at a nice steady clip

Temp 30.9

Wind has shifted in past hour from South to WNW but calm winds

[96blizz]

Precip backfill ftw...

[96blizz]

Also, in Central PA, you can start to see some pretty heavy dzb snow bands developing. Someone better trained than me --- is that the beginning of the Norlun setting up or is it too early? Thanks, as always.
