Hurricane Agnes Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 How far northwest do you think that warming gets, and more importantly, how far do think upper level warming gets? It's here in NW Philly, so it's backing in westward. Didn't even think about why the visibility was up but looking at the returns, am thinking it may be due to ip mixing in with the snow. Just got up and looked out again and vis down to 1/2 mile and much heavier SN moving to SN+ territory so the line must be near and wavering...

ChescoWx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I don't question the professionals but I would expect to see our area of Chesco turning over within an hour or 2 at most after PHL goes over to IP but maybe they are thinking the backlash later this evening accounts for a good portion of that Whoa that map seems pretty bullish in my area (14-18"). Haven't gone out to measure yet, but seems as though we have about 5" Heaviest snow the past hour and a half in Lionville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowisgood Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 One thing about these maps (which I personally don't like, but I don't program them) is that they are actually based on single number input. I.e., if it gets even slightly above 14, it spits out a 14-18 range. So, really they are forecasting probably 14 or 15, but the map is programmed to do certain ranges. Which guidance are they using to get that amount? Just curious as with the change over anticipated in a couple hours for Chester County I didn't think it was going to be possible to get over a foot. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its forecaster discretion/judgement. They could just draw whatever they like. Making those maps is like coloring in Photoshop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodriveslow Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Snowing pretty heavy (nice size flakes) in Fox Chase (N'east Philly) Haven't measured yet. Temps have risen almost 3 degrees in last hour. Now at 29.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 of course IP also counts as snow but as Ray pointed out that may work out to a 3 to 1 liquid ratio so relative slow additional snow accums with that until/if it goes back over to snow tonight I don't question the professionals but I would expect to see our area of Chesco turning over within an hour or 2 at most after PHL goes over to IP but maybe they are thinking the backlash later this evening accounts for a good portion of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GD0815 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Still hanging on to snow which is really coming down by the way in Mount Airy. I suspect we will Mix soon. Measured 4.9 inches as of 6 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Well, I don't think it gets to Tamaqua PHL should start to report mixing any time now. Did you say recently that PHL measures or reports at 6:00? I'm really hoping they got to 6"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Did you say recently that PHL measures or reports at 6:00? I'm really hoping they got to 6"! 7AM. The sleet they get shouldn't affect the total much. I'd bet real money they'll come in with at least 6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Morning all....cabin temp is 20 with SN, have not measured but it's not too much yet IMO. Down the shore I checked the front cam and it appears to be raining now, I did see a plow come through and scrape what appeared to be a wet snow. temp at the house is currently 33. Have only taken a quick peek at the radar and it appears the SN+ is south heading our way in the Poconos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter Wizard Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Tough to measure, but I'll go with 8.8" as my 6:30 total. We've flipped to heavy sleet here in North Wilmington. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted, though I'd much rather have sleet than rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
