Precip backfill ftw...

Yeah snowing harder here again

[LMolineuxLM1]

1 inch so far from part one. Not bad to be honest i only expected about a quarter of an inch of snow at most by now.

[cdog127]

Radar really filling in back in C PA. Looking good!

I would think that is our Nurlon event forming in West Central PA

[Parsley]

Steadiest snow of the morning, larger flakes too (nickel/dime size).

[noctilucent]

Yep, same deal here. Pickup in intensity and flake size but the TEMP is up to 33.0, so it may not matter at this point.

[ChescoWx]

Snowing almost moderately now with larger flakes

Temp up to 31.1

[White_Mtn_Wx]

Very light snow here currently, 1.8" so far.

[JERSEYSNOWROB]

Just woke up, long night. Looks nice out there with steady moderate snow falling.

[phlwx]

That band is not a norlun nor "the" norlun that the models were talking about. The low that will "devolve" into the norlun is still over NW PA (see map above). The norlun will fire up later on today with the arctic boundary moving through...

The 6z NAM shows the snows enhancing for a time across Central PA around 7, 8 AM...more of a mesoscale feature than a norlun.

Finally hit 1.0" as of 8:45am.

Steady burst of snow continues. Temperatures hovering at 32.

[ChescoWx]

Current Wxsim shows another 1.5" of snow falling much of the time today with snow continuing light but fairly steady thru 8pm tonight. Temps falling after 230pm

Snow

[chubbs]

1.5" - 32F - light snow.

[Voyager]

Only a half inch so far here with none of it on paved surfaces, only grass and cars. Temp is 33.3 @ 9:00AM.

[famartin]

1.0" in Ewing on SOME surfaces according to my parents. Dang BL...

No doubt the mountains break that apart as they usually do.

[Parsley]

This last band has dropped a quick .25" of snow here in the past 1/2 hour or so.

1.25" total, still coming down good.

[ChescoWx]

Snow getting a bit lighter again but was coming down a bit better over last 1.5 hrs

snow since 730a 0.5"

1.8" since midnight

Storm total so far 2.0"

MTD snow at 4.3" (-0.3" below normal to date)

Season stands at 17.2" (2.6" below normal season to date)

[Porsche]

Light snow now about an inch and a half on the ground, roads are just wet.

[iceman56]

31.5 with steady light snow. Still acumulating slowly - up to 1.7" here in NW Chesco.

Snow falling off trees as we creep toward freezing.

[tombo82685]

up to 2.3 inches here in wayne pa on the course elev 500ft...last hr it has been snowing moderately with nice flake size. Had to come into work and shovel off the tennis courts.

[Rainshadow]

We're poor in snow here, so not exactly a Pocono grill cam photo. We are losing snow while it still is snowing.

loosing snow while its snowing = winning

[chubbs]

Has let up. 1.6" Falling out of the trees here as well.

here is a link to an article that does a good job explaining norlurns.....it is written specific to new england, but you can get the idea. i thought it might be helpful to stop some of the confusion with what exactly constitutes a norlurn and in tracking it later today.

[cdog127]
