Violentweatherfan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Man what a day! Went for a 4 mile hike/trek during the storm and it was just amazing. Snowing heavy again. Due to drifting I can't get a great measurement but somewhere between 22-25 inches. One of the best storms of my life, I can't believe it's still ripping outside. In the Princeton area it must have been nice! I hope took pics, for memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violentweatherfan Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Pretty odd, not a flake falling from the sky and no wind. Total calm. Radar showing moderate band on me though. Maybe refresh the radar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny and Warm Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 ABE: Add another 10.5 since 1pm. Total as of 7pm: 31.7" Congrats Lehigh Valley!!!!!!!!!!!! Previous storm record for ABE was something like 27", correct? This blows it away and continues to pile up, albeit more slowly. So ABE got 30" of snow in the last 19 hours, and 22" in the last 12 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I'm only 17 and I have said before that nothing will ever beat two 15+ in one week back in 2010. Well, I think this storm may have done it. Thanks for the fun ride guys, it's been real edited: 25" now This has reminded me of the '96 storm being more powdery - although I don't recall getting dry-slotted during '96.

backedgeapproaching Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Where are you measuring in Chesco?? Near Honey Brook. Have some good elevation here too at 850 ft. It's not official CoCoRaHS standards, but measured 16" for first snowblow of driveway around 10am and then 9.5" around 4pm at second snowblow. 2" since that time. So 27.5" total. Depth is probably more like 25" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blizzardlover Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Looking at the radar, it appears the back edge is moving very slowly southeastward, and there are still pretty potent bands rotating in from the NE, I think this storm may take a lot longer to wind down than is expected...

wederwarrior Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Absolutely amazing. What a storm. At one point from 1-4ish I was actually worried at how fast it was snowing. Measured 26" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Yet another heavy band has rotated in overhead. Radar still looks good, nothing is really moving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This blows it away and continues to pile up, albeit more slowly. So ABE got 30" of snow in the last 19 hours, and 22" in the last 12 hours. Yes, the death band that set up in the early afternoon was very impressive. It was tough to measure with the wind and drifting but the snow depth thankfully was consistent with the averages which were received from the snowfall measurements on the board. Been living here in the Valley since 1962 and never have seen anything like what I witnessed today. I truly believe it will take multiple days to fully dig out. Oh, and light snow continues.....

kpantz Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Yet another heavy band has rotated in overhead. Radar still looks good, nothing is really moving! On the larger scale, I agree; this thing is in no hurry to move out. That said, I wonder if the party is coming to an end for Lehigh/Northampton soon.

Hurricane Agnes Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Intensity dropped way off here (vis almost 2 miles) but there's still alot of blowing and drifting. Looking at possible incoming from the NE though - Lower Bucks should be cashing in on that at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABE SnowObserver Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Kind of ironic that 2015 Christmas Eve high temperature were almost identical to 2015 July 4th high temperature and then we have our snowiest day on record in Allentown just over three weeks later. No wonder this is a great hobby.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUMG11 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I can verify this in lower bucks Theres still a ton of moisture rotating around the CCB from Long Island. That is all headed this way. The low is moving out to sea much slower then modeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Sounds reasonable I am at 680 ft here and had 24" a couple hours ago....will head out in the next hour for my next plow and see where we are should be close to done at that time but may end up as 6th largest snow event in Chesco if we get to 27" Near Honey Brook. Have some good elevation here too at 850 ft.It's not official CoCoRaHS standards, but measured 16" for first snowblow of driveway around 10am and then 9.5" around 4pm at second snowblow. 2" since that time.So 27.5" total.
