Jsdphilly Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Lol. Relax everyone. It wasn’t even really supposed to start for another hour at least. It’s filling in. Couple inches still looks good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Really nice banding feature popping now N Central Bucks centered near Quakertown SW thru Pottstown then into Gap areas. Should continue to see this fill in more and flakes start flying soon. DPs rising now, dry air becoming saturated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s filling in. Couple inches still looks good I think some of that "filling in" on the radar is virga. The dews are still pretty low and the atmosphere would need to moisten a bit to get some of that down to the surface. If you look at stations in S. Jersey where it is confirmed as snowing, the dews are in the 30s. There are some stations west in Lancaster Co. that are showing heavier returns and dews in the 20s. Need to confirm if anyone N/W is actually seeing anything. As an obs here, temp has been steady @ 33F and dp 17F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 My point and click forecast now says "Snow, mainly after 2pm", yet my projected total went from 2 inches to 3 inches. Either way, no sign of this virga going away up here just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was alluding to the fact that in Mount Holly's AFD they mentioned they may need to cut back on totals because the coastal low seems to be robbing moisture, yet on their updated map that came out at the same time as the AFD, Reading was upped from 2 to 3 inches. I know, that's not a big deal, but why raise totals, even slightly, even after mentioning a possible shaving of totals. Sorry for the rant, its December 9th with snow falling and possibly more Tuesday. What else could we ask for after the past couple December torches.

GD0815 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 flurries in east norriton. Convection definitely drying this up some. I think 1-3 for a lot of us, which still is a nice early season event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 nothing like waking up to see nothing falling and being right square in the middle of a hole on the radar. looks like I should get into those bands soon but this dry air is hanging very very tough. I'm concerned those bands will just fall apart once they reach here. coming up on 2 hours past the expected start at least here but most models are keeping the snow past 00z tn now. still think bucks co sees 3 to 6 inches and not 1 to 3.

Ralph Wiggum Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Radar looks good for rest of daylight hours. At least if we were going to get light-ish daytime snows, this is the calendar time of year to do it as opposed to late February etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 GL everybody. Enjoy the scenic holiday season snowfall.

Haven't read back yet to see if this was discussed, but you should have seen it around 4 am, lol. It was a bare looking radar. I know last night that 2nd area of precipitation coming out of Alabama was supposed to grow into our main snow giver, but I didn't expect to see most signs of the 1st wave pretty much outta here.

Yesterday it looked like my start time would be around 6-7am-ish. Things didn't get underway until 9:30.

KamuSnow Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 With the rain and wind the other night, most of the remaining leaves here were persuaded to come down, finally. For accumulating snows I like to have the grass short, with minimal leaves and debris - it's a feng shui snow on the lawn thing. Short not a problem, since it's been dormant for the last 2 weeks or so. At least a couple of inches of snow seemed likely today, so that meant I spent 5 hours late yesterday and last evening blowing leaves and raking (yes, blowing leaves in the dark works, lol). Got'er done though! I was going to make a post something along the lines of "it's going snow for sure now", but when I saw the radar overnight I decided to hold off. All's well that ends well, it's snowing, and on top of that the final leaf cleanup is DUN done. Let it snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
