ChescoWx Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Snow picking up quickly in intensity here in NW Chesco Temp down to 30.8 Wind NNE 5 - 8mph RH 85% DP 26.9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 FYI - There is a separate obs thread for current conditions and snow amounts for the event. I'm slightly less enthused for this event than I was yesterday, but still think 1" to 3" inches will work for most of Bucks, Montgomery, Chester, Delaware and Philadelphia counties. I was never enthused. Horrible time of day for this to occur w/borderline temps...at night in the 20's would have been much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Just ticked up to 33 degrees here. Snowing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophisticated Skeptic Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Ahh ^ thanks. 850's are well below 32.. could be some unexpected totals in places that get below 32 from heavy qpf the next several hours. Light snow - 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman56 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 here at around 700ft only 28 nm from PHL airport received that amount Yet 3 miles away and 350' lower and I only got 3.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White_Mtn_Wx Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yet 3 miles away and 350' lower and I only got 3.5" 10 miles WSW from Chesco but at 800' we received 6.7" due in part to the earlier west to east changeover orientation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCT777 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 I was never enthused. Horrible time of day for this to occur w/borderline temps...at night in the 20's would have been much better. I was counting on the earlier start time of steady precip to help us...some models were showing it coming in between 4 and 6 AM. So the later start time combined with slightly warmer temps than I expected is hurting accumulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 NAM and GFS sure cut back precip from the last few runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Downgrading from 2-4" to up to 1 inch....back edge on radar alreaady approaching and breaking up. Poor performance by both me and this weather system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
