OBS/Disco: A bit of snow Thursday night/Friday morning (1/29-30/2015)

[famartin]

Discuss here, probably use the same thread for obs later.  Not a big deal, but the next snow is barely 48 hours away

[hazwoper]

Fun times ahead it appears

[Birds~69]

Let's just freshen up things...1-2" is all I ask. That would be a snow-snow-snow then the Sun/Mon possibility depending on the GFS or the washout Euro.  

[KamuSnow]

An inch here would be great too, having a hard time keeping the grass covered (in the sun anyway) with a total of 3" since Friday.

[The Iceman]

12z NAM: coating to 1" in SE PA , nearly nothing in S jersey; upper bucks/mont /Lehigh/n Jersey look to get 1-2 inches from it.

[The Iceman]

12z GFS shows 1-2" region wide.

[RedSky]

Another refresher great. Snow on snow on snow on snow here.

[Ralph Wiggum]

This is turning out to be an ok winter. Backloaded as many had expected.

[Harbourton]

Euro came way south with the clipper at 12Z.

does this affect precip totals in any way? Or still 1-2" region wide, which would be great.

Wunder Map has nothing at all for this area which doesn't make sense considering the low is closer to us.

Makes zero sense since we were on the southern fringe.....further south I would think means a little more snow unless precip totals dimished overall.

[KamuSnow]

Euro 12z is just about as dry as a bone through next week, like maybe 0.25? We get fringed a lot obviously. Plenty of time for that to change and I hope it does. Thursday night would be a good time to start upping the qpf if it has the low coming that south....

Thanks Ray. I knew that couldn't be right. Just pretty as a picture here in Ewing and Hopewell. Many kids out sledding yesterday at Howell Farm - next door neighbor's kid first time (remember?)

One time when I was like, 4 maybe, my mom took us sledding in Cadwalader Park (we either still lived in Trenton or had just moved to Ewing at the time, don't recall), and one of the local papers (don't remember if it was the Trentonian or the Times) came by and snapped our photo on a sled, so we got in the paper.  I'm a little fuzzy on this because the date escapes me.

When I was a little older and could drive we used to sneak out to Trenton Country Club and sled down the third hole to see if anyone could make it over the DR canal  Had a few mishaps.

Started sledding in the some of the mid-upper 70's good storms. We used  to go down a hill in the street all day long. (Yeah...probably not safe) Looking back, the streets would remain snow packed for/a week plus. Now w/pre-brine and tons of salt that hill is cleared (showing pavement completely) within 12-24hrs regardless of the storm/temp unless very severe. Even then 1-2 days max.

When I was a bit older, we (the neighborhood kids) would sled down the hill behind the back parking lot of Ewing High.  Technically it was off-limits but we always managed to get inside the fence   Then we'd "borrow" the tops of the dumpsters to use as sleds

I did the golf course thing and probably could have killed myself. A bunch of us would run and start and try to take out "the other guy" as we approached mid way down. Super nuts...how I never broke a bone is beyond me. Also did crazy shiet on a BMX bike in the snow...

Wife broke her little finger sledding at Cadwalader Park. But the good news was it got her out of piano lessons which she hated lol.

12z Euro heads south so naturally the 18z NAM heads north...giving the area nothing.

Great stuff...

back in the day, we would hitch up the toboggan to my parents Vista Cruiser station wagon and rip around the Jenkintown neighborhoods.

SO cool...So dangerous but to this day some of my best memories with my childhood buddies.

Of course we would wear our dirt-bike helmets for safety

they're in cahoots with the North Koreans (or are they one in the same?)!

Rear wheel drive and a boat...did crazy shiet in cars as well. When I turned 16 I had a 72' Duster (beater car) then a 76' Malibu...complete tank. One word...DONUTS! Even further many of us would grab the bumper of the school bus once we were let off and take a bumper ride....crazy stuff.

[Birds~69]

Glenn at 6:15pm. Sounds/looks like coating of snow around Philly then .5" N/W burbs to 1" around Allentown to 1-2" in the Poconos.

LOL..

good thing we survived those days (so we can now do do all this snow chasing...might be more dangerous to our health than the teenage antics we did

[Quakertown needs snow]

6 this am

[Ralph Wiggum]

I went with up to an inch of snow for my area tonight and tomorrow am.
