Kicking Up A Storm Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Yeah we're just about avoiding the dry slot here - look at the radar and Montco is just on the very fringe of the dry slot. Snow has def picked up in the last few minutes. Does anyone have a rough estimate of end times? Do we still have at least 12 hours of mod/heavy snow?

bluehens Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 It's "subsidence" - not trying to nitpick. Just trying to help y'all. Sorry.....little sleep and not enough coffee yet. I will say the wind is just ripping in far northern DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrodd321 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 ILG and PHL will be the "losers" today. Dry slot and being on the south edge of bands will hurt. Models did well on the dry slot more or less over the entire state of DE. Short range models indicating the best banding 20-25 miles N to NW.Not really? Dry slot lasted all of maybe 20-30 minutes now radar completely filled in and heavy snow. 14" here in Wyndmoor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent seen or heard any pingers yet, tho there are reports of sleet mixed in as near as 10 miles from here. Measured 16.25" just now. Gusts are strong. Thats all I got.

dizzy9479 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just about all sleet with the band rotating in here in central Gloucester County Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Moderate snow in East Stroudsburg, looks to be about 5" here so far. I'm in a bit of a dry slot, as heavy bands surround me in all directions. Hopefully the one in NJ can hold together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU848789 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 As of 6:30 am, we have 7.5" (average of about 20 measurements, which is needed when it's this windy) on the ground, which means we've been getting over an inch per hour since 3 am (4.5" in 3.5 hrs). Took me about 45 minutes for shovel #2 and it was ripping 30-40 dBZ for part of that time, with <1/4 mile visibility, i.e., heavy snow. 23F out there. Damn it's gorgeous and now the sun's coming up, so we all get to see it better now. Went back out at 7:30 am and measured an average of about 8.5", did my 3rd shovel of the storm (maybe the toughest one, 30 min after the plows went by and threw all the heavier, wetter snow from the road into the bottom of my driveway and somewhat onto my sidewalk), and then at 8:30 am measured again and I'm estimating 9.5". But man it's really tough to measure, as it's pretty windy (not like it will be, maybe 15 mph w/25 mph gusts) and the snow is quite dry (nice dendrites), so I'm seeing variations from 8 to 11" all over the yard (I have a large, tree-free, fairly quiescent back yard) and there are even some bare spots and drifts to 24" already. I have no idea why I love this stuff so much, but I do - made a nice snow angel and took a nice Jeb-walk (is that guy from DC still around?). Have to say, this storm reminds me of Jan-96.

mahk_webstah Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 So there are heavier band of snow moving up from extreme se jersey but there is space between them. How does this work? Do they fill in, do they stop? What happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Looks to me like an area of subsidence has plagued parts of SEPA like many runs of the GGEM and GFS had been showing before they all went into blitz mode yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaEasternWX Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The dry slot looks to be filling in . With that and 11 inches currently on the ground IMBY I am guessing another 10 inches seems to be a good bet since we have at least 12 more hours of snow with what looks to be mostly at least an inch per hour snow rates after looking at the radar. Currently the temperature is 25.3 Degrees. Hopefully we don't get sleet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
