12:30 am: temp down to 32F (was 33F at 11 pm, when snow started) and we have 1/2" on the ground of fairly wet snow.  Beautiful outside - just took a walk around and slid down my 15-degree driveway.  

 

Reports are that that heavy sleet batch moved through Philly and it's back to some very heavy snow in the Philly area, even into adjacent S. Jersey.  If we can keep snowing for 4-5 hours, I think we can manage a good 3-4" of snow, which would happily surpass by 2" snow prediction for my house.  

Been ripping snow since about 1 am and we now have 2" of thick, but fluffy snow on the ground and it's down to 31F - over 1" per hour the past hour.  Awesome snowball snow - just threw a bunch at random objects, lol.  

 

If that SPC report comes true, we'll get 1" per hour rates for the next couple of hours, before sleet and maybe rain mixes in.  Would love to get to 3-4" before that happens.  Love this statement from Upton:

 

.NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM THIS MORNING/...

SNOW OVERSPREADING AREA FROM SW TO NE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AND

WILL BECOME MODERATE TO HEAVY AT TIMES. LATEST 00Z GUIDANCE

SUPPORTS AROUND HALF TO THREE-QUARTERS OF AN INCH OF LIQUID

THROUGH 8 AM. WHILE THE WARMER AIR MOVES IN ALOFT TOWARD

DAYBREAK...IT COULD BE A BATTLE WITH STRONG UPPER FORCING. ITS NOT

OUT OF THE QUESTION FOR 4 TO 6 INCHES OF SNOWFALL EVEN ALONG THE

COAST BY DAYBREAK. TEMP PROFILES ARE MARGINAL SO CONFIDENCE IS NOT

HIGH...BUT WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR DUAL POL RADAR DATA AND HIGH

RES MODELS.

Visibility starting to drop off and ceiling quickly lowering as snows move into the Port Jeff / Mt Sinai area.  Wind light & variable.
