Now hearing that there is some kind of emergency being reported at PHL. Ground Stop has been issued there as well. No details yet

"GROUND STOP PHL 1745 OTHER / EMERGENCY" - via Airliners.net

That could be an emergency stop due to weather as well.

4" on the ground as of 11:15 am and it's now 27F and snowing moderately.  

 5" on the ground as of 12"15 pm, so 1" in the last hour.  Can we get to 8"?  Down to 25F.  

 

Was there a combo of temp and dew point/RH that signals that the CAA has led to virga/sublimation?  Just looking, some of the stations in Warren/Sussex are reporting temps in the 17-18F range, with dp's in the 5F range and RHs of 50-60%, whereas places in Morris/Passaic, where it's still snowing have dp's only 3-4F from the temp and RHs in the 90% range.  Near me it's 25/23/93% RH and ripping snow right now.

I saw this earlier and posted it in the NW thread.. It honestly makes no sense. Why would they issue a WWA for 2-4" after the fact? Are they anticipating another round up here?

You have to remember that they have a lot more data than is available to the general public. Perhaps they think what's in E PA is coming this way.
