Pohopoco Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 About 2.5" here, hopefully I can add to that as that last band moves through. Can't say I'm disappointed. I approached this storm as a pre-season game -- doesn't matter what the score is or who won, you just want to get a feel for your team before the season begins. It's 11/26, it snowed much of the day, and the ground is snow covered -- all good in my book! Let's hope what happens in November, the winter will remember (to paraphrase JB). Really can't agree with you more...this was my 3rd event in Nov for a total of 11" this month and the first half inch made me smile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Estimate 2-2.5" here. Last band coming through...large flakes at a good clip...33.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 2.5" as of 6:00, hopefully this band can get me to a full 3". The last band was good you should make that mark Kramer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Reilly Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Light snow with bigger flakes mixed in very wet snow with little to no additional accumulations here in Media 33 Snow total 2.1" mainly on the grass up to 1" on some paved areas.

Agree this dialed in as expected in the elevations. I was hoping to make a foot but I think we will fall just short, though the current back band is helping in the effort.

Hurricane Agnes Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 OBS SN- for the past couple hours Temp 33F Winds NNW light The slushy granular water ice has a fresh fluffy coating on it of about 1/4". Not sure how much more might add to it with the temps just above freezing but am figuring on 1" total snow/sleet compacted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDoppler Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 It looks like the last flakes of flown, as my power has come back on. (it's been out for over 3 hours) Final measurement: 9.0" (a classic elevation storm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wederwarrior Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Finished with 5.5" Definitely could have been more without compacting slop effect. Trees just stopped dripping with temps at 37-35 throughout this event. All in all a good time had. Have a happy white bird day everybody! Go birds!

hazwoper Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Macungie is SE PA;)I kinda agree with Ray. That is Lehigh Valley. SEPA is the five county region around Philly, but that can be interpreted differently:If using the shortened form of "Southeast PA", it will almost always be referring to Philadelphia and it's surrounding counties (5), with possibly all or portions of the outer row of Lancaster, Berks, Lehigh and Northampton counties (and occasionally Lebanon and Schuylkill counties). http://www.larryyerkes.com/southeastern-pa-and-delawarevalley.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazwoper Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Oh no i started a new battle Nah. Just differences of opinion. I think it depends what areas you are from. Those from 5 county region probably mostly consider SEPA to only consist of those counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthDoppler Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Well these hills (technically known as the Reading Prong) separate the Lehigh Valley from the rest of southeast PA. My location says Macungie, and that's just a rural route mailing address for me. I'm just across the line from Hereford Township, a VERY small town called Seisholtzville. I guess we have our own little micro climate, it's kind of hard to say we belong to either LHV or SE PA lol. We usually wring out a bit more moisture during coastal storms then the LHV, but less then further SE obviously at times, while other times it's pretty much a sharp cutoff just downhill towards the LHV. It's storms like this that make the Reading Prong, and the hills down in Chesco. the highest average snowfall climo outside of the Poconos. (that beat us handily on climo) So I guess it's not really fair to classify us as either or, just our own little micro climo EDIT: I was only referring to PA in this post. Ray, yeah I hear East Central PA sometimes. It just doesn't get mentioned that often. I prefer to go more by natural features that SEEM to have an effect on the climate, if even just a little. Nothing like the mountains/valleys out west......but the Reading Prong and the Blue Mountain seem to have an effect on climo in this area because the areas on the other side of them have tendencies that repeat far too often to be coincidence. I think you can also count the way the coast curves from Long Island northward too... In East Central PA as you call it you move into a transition zone where an E or ENE wind starts to come off of land more than ocean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDoppler Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 took a nap and I didn't even expect this, but 9.1" now. musta slept through some echoes. LOL! You beat me by .1" as of now. Although I'm sure your snow is going to stick around longer We had horrible compacting down here but we got more liquid, would have preferred to get it the way you got it. (edit by the way my previous total before the final number was from an apparently bad spot as my average was 9.0 from about 10 locations) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zenmsav6810 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 In my fourth grade PA geography class we used to divide PA into five distinct regions, Philly was the "coastal plain," the Reading prong and Lancaster/Harrisburg, was considered the "Ridge and Valley Region", the next section was the Allegheny region which comprise of all the land outside of the ridge and valley, with the exception of the Erie's coastal plain. The Allegheny region was split into two section east and west of the Susquehanna. This is more of a geologically useful nomenclature because it handles the main watersheds in PA more easily. Does anybody know if the is any "official" convention used by the government or professional organizations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildWeatherAdventure Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Final total from Easton, PA -- which being in the Lehigh Valley, I categorically refute should be grouped in with SEPA i.e. Philly and it's suburbs 5.0" inches of wet, compacted snow. Little less than I hoped but as someone cleverly pointed out earlier, just a preseason game in hopefully a winning season. Fun one to watch, onto the next!
