blizzardlover Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just got up from my 3 hour POWERSNOOZE (pulled an all nighter last night) and "Oh yeah!!!". Round 3 here (2 dry slots today) is going strong - heavy snow, woo hoo! Gonna get suited back up and head outside for a spell. 24F which is about 3 degrees cooler than at 1 pm. As others have sad, congrats to all the major jackpotters today, especially those farther north who it wasn't looking as good for a couple of days ago! My goal here is to get to 20" which will still be at the high end of what was expected a couple of days ago. Had 15" at 1 pm when it had gotten pretty light, so we shall see. Looks great outside! I'm not far away from you,and we're in the same band now. This looks like it's falling at a clip of 1-3"/hr. It wouldn't shock me to pick up an additional 4-8" from this by the time it passes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Smaller deathband still drifting over the area. Vis down to about 1/4 mile and alot of blowing and drifting. Winds shifting between NE and N. Getting close to puking snow but not yet like earlier today but still moderate and piling up big time out there again. Expect we are closing in on 20" for the event so far. Haven't heard any plow trains at all out there and no cars on the street (saw a cop car a couple hours ago but that was about it).

blackhound Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just finished clearing approximately 15" from the driveway. Definitely colder, more wind and heavy snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman56 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just about 25" here in Pughtown, NW Chesco and still snow heavily, vis is up to 1/4 miles. Temp us to 25.2, DP 21, BP 29.66 R Snow blower is pretty ineffective... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Dawk 20 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Finally got to NE Philly. I can stop whining now. (well, until I see the NY totals) lol Upper Montco/Bucks, Lehigh/Berks, and Western Chester counties are going to outperform NY, I think. I also think PHL still outperforms LGA or JFK Sucks for the Northeast though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophisticated Skeptic Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 NAM was like the only model that predicted the heavy , consistent band in northern NJ...rotating into north-eastern PA. Which has basically been happening all day today. Hats off to the NAM, it kicked ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowsintherain Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I don't know that PHL will outperform LGA or JFK. How much do they have so far? 19.9" Measured by a friend (yes, properly)in Bayside, NY. And that was a few hours ago.

Fishmn Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Under the death band for hours. 4" an hour rates. 20" fell between 7 am and 5 pm. Measured 29" on average. Don't know how much more to expect but this is officially the biggest snowfall in my life. Btw it's still cranking out there. Done shoveling for today. I'm pooped.

RUMG11 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 If you look over long island, the CCB is pulling more moisture and re-intensifying the band. It doesn't want to quit. Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonyweather Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Wow. Is all I can say. At 1 o'clock we were at 21.2. With 3-4" per hour bands since then, complete whiteout, gotta be pushing 30 here in Allentown! Back Roads are completely blown shut 6-10' feet high. The grader is warming up now with the V Plow on it, main roads are bad, card abandoned everywhere, trucks everywhere, 78 is awful, but there's no traffic thankfully. Just stopped in for a bite to eat before I head back out wanted to give you fellas the low down. One word for this storm. CRIPPLING. This will take days to clean up. Looks like radar is starting to collapse, figuring another 3-4" before it wraps up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherDog Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Finally !! Best snow of the day. The dry slot and screw holes have been killing Delaware. Any other storm to be around a foot would be great. Happy for those that are in the right spot this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't shock me to pick up an additional 4-8" from this by the time it passes through. Yeah, it's snowing almost as hard as it was last night at the peak, using the house across the street "yardstick", which is 500 feet from here. I can still see it but barely. Gonna go shovel a bit then take some measurements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief83 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Worcester, PA. about 23". Winds have not gotten near 35mph here so not a true blizzard by definition. Great storm. Heaviest snow all day occurring now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattinpa Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Well all I have been able to do is take an average - appears around 25 inches here around Royersford. Memorable storm! Glad to share in it with the others in our sub forum. And makes up for such a disappointing December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backedgeapproaching Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Did two snowblower passes on the driveway. First pass this morning depth was 16". Second pass just finshed had 9.5" So 25.5" would be my best estimate of snowfall. Depth is around 23.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Well I made it through til about 6:30am when halftime hit (courtesy of dry slot #1)... Then i too took a three hour power nap glad you did some measuring in my general area Ralph as I have no friggin idea how much actually fell vs drifted!! Current whiteout..probably heaviest of the storm for me! Good it was only 3 hours - 2 years ago (Feb. 12th/13th, 2014) I did the same thing and after a couple of hours of shoveling 12" of rained-on snow, I took a nap that lasted 10 hours! Missed all the excitement (in the early evening) of the changeover back to snow, the lightning, etc. It was well documented in here of course :-).
