Really getting tired of these breaks in precip in New Castle County.

Really getting tired of these breaks in precip in New Castle County.

NCC and PHL will be lucky to squeak out a couple more inches because we are just going to see wicked subsidence all day long and then the decaying CCB may roll through quickly. Blows. Congrats Reading.

Snow intensity way down. Vis up to about 2 miles.

Edit to add that I just saw a CNN breaking news banner that Cuomo will put a travel ban in place in NYC @ 2:30 pm. Looks like the north-trend models nailed this. Up around Allentown is getting raked.

Just outside the city is getting raked as well

There's a heavy band literally a few miles to my north and west that is missing me... probably along a line of Plymouth Meeting up towards Willow Grove.  Was curious if anyone could verify?

 

It's moderate here around Lansdale/Blue Bell....It's been heavier today, but at least we aren't in that dry slot - I hope that gets completely avoided, it's making me nervous.

Nice steady heavy snowfall here in Berks I unofficially measured 13" about an hour ago. Wouldn't be surprised if we caught up to other areas accumulation especially since we don't seem to be experiencing such severe winds. 30" or bust! 

Measured 14" imby at 1pm

 

We are getting the pivot now this should be a fun next 6 hours  :snowman:

I don't know off hand if that Low is cut off but I expect in any case, once it starts moving NE, the heavier bands should pivot back around to here and provide some sort of round 2...
