Treckasec Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Thankfully I've been able to keep around 20dbz here, kind of on the edge of that dry area. Subsidence I guess as everybody is calling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazwoper Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 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? Verified Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I am in that band in Abington . Probably an inch an hour rates Yes, heavy snow right now. Wow and thanks! That needs to move a bit SE...lol But I guess the little break around here is giving people time to get some snow cleared although it's blowing around so much it doesn't seem to make much difference. My sister over in Wyndmoor reported about 17" a couple hours ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plokoon111 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Will that heavy band come back east? Seems like its sitting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicking Up A Storm Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Are the winds suppose to pick up again inland, or are we done with that side of things? Was much stronger this AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU848789 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 OMG, heaviest snow of the storm right now - and close to the heaviest I've ever seen. 100-yard visibility. Haven't measured since the 9.5" at 8:30 am, but would guess we've added at least 4" since then. Time to head back out.. So, after a quick nap and 4th round of shoveling, as of 1:00 pm we have 14.5" give or take an inch or so. That would "only" be an average of an inch per hour since my last measurement of 9.5" at 8:30 am. Having watched the radar pretty closely, we just haven't been under those 30+ dBZ bands for prolonged periods (just for spurts), so we haven't had 2" per hour snows for the most part. Still thinking we make it to 20-22" if we can just sustain 1" per hour rates for 6-7 more hours. Have some 3-4 foot drifts and bare spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akeem the African Dream Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Happy to see the Lehigh Valley be the big jackpot winner in all this. In other news 61, sunny with winds gusting over 30mph here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backedgeapproaching Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 ABE Airport: Snowfall through 1am: 2.1" Snowfall from 1am - 7am: 7.3" Snowfall from 7am - 1pm: 11.8" (11.3 lowest total on board and 12.4 highest) some drifting Total snowfall through 1pm: 21.2" Snow depth" 17" average Liquid equivalent: 1.46 Nice, I think ABE was down to 0 VIS last OB. Wish I could get an official measurement here. Depth is 20, so guessing low 20s for total if I had cleared every 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazwoper Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Cecily just called out Christie saying that the next tides won't be as bad. He really could care less about southern NJ. Id blame his emergency management folks for that cause he certainly must have been told that from someone. Cecily shouldn't be calling anyone out.

Hurricane Agnes Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Verified Ugh. It's like the hills are blocking it along this ridge. It's still snowing but lightly. Winds are in the 15-20 mph sustained range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penndotguy Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 19" reported by local spotter near me, since I cant find a accurate spot to measure, I will rely on him. 1-2" per hr rates now man this is awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winds are in the 15-20 mph sustained range. It actually looks on radar like it is building back from the sw the east and the ne.

I actually finally feel optimisitic. in 30 minutes the city should be back in it, as well as northern delaware. fingers crossed. It's literally running 5-10 miles or so NW of me sortof stuck in place. The whole band has to shift to the south slightly - perhaps if the low moves just a bit east.

rcostell Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Haddon Heights NJ- Subsidence continues…hour 3. Wind gusts have been steady- almost feeling like outflow from the band to the west Please send re-enforcements! (used the time to plow…) Does the I 295 corridor get back in the game?

shadow_ Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Crazy snow rates here in whitehall under that band. I'm shocked there is no ban on driving, this is going to compare with 96. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backedgeapproaching Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Saw a 24" from New Holland PA, which is about 8-10 miles west of where I am, seems close to what I have here,maybe not quite that much.
