Big Jims Videos Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 There was about an inch left on the pavement cuz it took longer to stick on the road and driveway. That's gonna be my last accurate measurement of the night. Winds have increased here blowing it all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisy Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Basically for Philly & immediate NW burbs, rest of storm will be of this light misty type, the ratios could increase, especially if the inverted trough forms, however as you can see the epic stuff is headed off the coast to the S & E as expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atownwxwatcher Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Unless things change I think this is going to be an under performer here in Lehigh County .. It is definitely not going to be what they were originally expecting of 6-10 inches and i can see why they downgraded it to 4-8. We just as of 7 PM eclipsed 1.6 inches. The radar does not seem to be filling in either and the back edge seems to be approaching slowly as well towards Lehigh County.. 17 degrees.. I think the bigger story here is going to be the cold behind the storm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluehens Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 If the RAP and HRRR precip forecasts are accurate then who really cares how heavy it is because ratios will be good and the stuff will accumulate well Basically for Philly & immediate NW burbs, rest of storm will be of this light misty type, the ratios could increase, especially if the inverted trough forms, however as you can see the epic stuff is headed off the coast to the S & E as expected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisy Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Meh, looking at radar I'm not personally enthusiastic, not complaining at all. I think I end up with 5" here, The bigger story might be the winds & cold in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 If the RAP and HRRR precip forecasts are accurate then who really cares how heavy it is because ratios will be good and the stuff will accumulate well I think Highzenberg is just saying there won't be a bonus, which would have been nice, but if we can get to the forecasted range I'll be happy. In fact I'm happy now, gonna go outside and enjoy it for a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravity Wave Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 That airport measurement was 3 hours ago. Over 4" here in Allentown proper with the wind really picking up. Edit: We also have to look out for the possibility of that inverted trough feature which the NAM, RAP, and HRRR have been alluding to. If that pans out accumulating snows will last another 7-8 hours in SEPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
