Ralph Wiggum Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 An additional 1.5" in the last 20 minutes under the death band. Sitting just over 29" and still snowing to beat the band! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Finally under that deathband! Puking snow and near-whiteout with visibility maybe a hundred yards? And It took how long? But it made it. Just saw a Washington Post breaking banner that claimed that "blizzard conditions" finally reached D.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzardlover Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 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. Same. I'd say visibility is no more than 500 ft, maybe less. That being said, I think I am pushing close to 20" and hope to get to two feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svh19044 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 This is fantastic! Heavy snow, 1-2" rates right now. I believe I might hit 30" here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echo Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Finally, snow falling again, but it's difficult to tell how heavy with the addition of the blowing snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph I'm not that far from you in Abington this must be 3 to 4 inch an hour rates don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahk_webstah Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 after 5 or 6 hours of no snow or light snow we finally have heavy snow but the band is weakening. ah well...at least I had a nice visit to friends and family in philly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyDabbundo 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. I measured 24 next town over in Collegeville about 30 minutes ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Pulling for you! Have you broken in the snowblower today or waiting until tomorrow? Oh it's a used one already broken in I cruised through plowed end of driveway like it was 4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tibet Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Do you see additional heavy bands working into the lehigh valley area later tonight or are we on the down swing now... pretty positive we've broken local records at this point! Measured at least 20in at my location! And that was awhile ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gakmsg 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" Identical Here... 16 inches on the first snow blower pass at noon and another 10 just measured... was coming on to see if that was close to correct.... too funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noctilucent Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 :-) Yes, this will exceed PD II (or is it III - I'm talking about 2003). Also exceeds 83, but will not exceed 96, unless this death band we are under now can go all night! It's really hard to estimate accumulations. I'm assuming its about 22-23 inches.....and at my age, I cannot be walking through 2 ft of snow after I have spent 90 minutes snow blowing.

Akeem the African Dream Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 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 I suspect highest totals are going to come from somewhere in Northampton County PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming its about 22-23 inches.....and at my age, I cannot be walking through 2 ft of snow after I have spent 90 minutes snow blowing. This is too true I been struggling with this all day. The 100' trees that encircle 80% of my property knock down accumulations with the 25-35mph winds and are messing with my measurements, I already walked to a close by field and proved there is a 4" greater depth there. Also I get next to zero drifting which is a bummer the old property drifted great. Funny it's a different world a few blocks up the street in the open it was a blinding blizzard. I measured 25" in 96 but I only measured total depth back then so it should have been higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmosk Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Has anybody gotten sticky heavy snow, as opposed to powder? Wasn't the latter half of this storm supposed to transition to sticky, treebranch-snapping stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicking Up A Storm Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Not saying anyone is complaining, but no one can have any complaints when even yesterday pre-storm it wasn't certain that we would even reach 18", never mind exceed it in many places.

Right?!?! unless you are way south of our area I don't think there is any way this storm under performed... unless you were dead set of early NAM runs... but even than a lot of the numbers being talked about are pretty close to the NAM!

But it made it. Just saw a Washington Post breaking banner that claimed that "blizzard conditions" finally reached D.C. Up here in Berks earlier today that was my guestimate on visibility also.
