Absolute Humidity Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I measured 2.7" in Skillman at 6pm before I drove home to rain soaked Freehold, nada zilcho here. I'm not complaining, got to see it snow all day at work and Nov 7 - 8th makes up for any no snows back home today and for all of last year for that matter.

Bobby EPAWA Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Yeah, I knew it was Somerset County. I know what you mean about many towns with the same name here, as it gets confusing sometimes. Updated PNS just sent. Question regarding KABE official reading... no ASOS report from the airport listed, and two spotters in Allentown reporting 2.6" and 1.4" ... however, 2.6" fell, and it has been above freezing for 5 hours and some snow melt occurred, so you guys aren't going to use the 7pm 1.4" as the official are you? Just curious here for the record books... I can vouch for the 2.6" because I called in an earlier report with 2.2" at 12:00 noon, which was superseded by a later 2.6" after two more hours of snowfall by another spotter. I would have to say without an official KABE reading, or at least not in a timely manner, the 2.6" should stand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chubbs Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Ended up with 0.50 all rain. NAM was pretty good in this area both on precip amounts and rain/snow. GFS was too dry and too snowy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The KABE report is listed as "Allentown Airport" in the PNS (it should say ASOS in the comments section, and we will correct that). The observer measured 1.4 inches. The airport is not in Allentown, it is north/northeast of the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxman Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Is there an alternate town we can list for your report other than Sourland Mountain? Sure, Hillsborough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your response... the measurement I took was next to KXLL (Queen City Municipal Airport) in South Allentown... so I suppose the International airport takes precedence here... lol... already know that answer.

I'm sure all the snow is all ready all melted down in Chesterbrook. It's amazing what a few hundred feet of elevation does around this area.

fsu_wxgirl Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I'm right across the street from Chesterbrook in Berwyn and we still have a decent amount of snow on the ground. Starting to see a few bare spots but definitely still snow. i didn't realize how much lower chesterbrook was. I thought they had some decent elev.

Yeah, coming down Valley Forge Rd. there's a big drop. the elevation down in the valley is only around 150-200 ft. There's always a huge visible difference in accumulations during borderline events as you drive down the hill. Mount Misery to the north of Chesterbrook actually has a higher elevation than the south facing hills, it peaks around 680ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceman56 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Sorry to late to the party, wife is in ICU, so haven't spent much time at home. My son measured 4.4" on snowboard when snow stopped yesterday afternoon in the eastern corner of East Nantmeal township near intersection with S. Coveentry & W. Vincent twps. at 350'. Rain/snow line very dramatic in the Exton area yesterday. Transition between an inch on the ground and bare ground occured between two intersections yesterday near Exton Mall. The line moved south about 4 miles during the late morning so that the snow/no snow line was about 2 miles north of West Chester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
