KamuSnow Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Around 4.0" here now based on a few measurements, 1.5" of that in the last 2 hours. Been snowing at least moderately during that time. Back edge is not too far away but it's still hanging tough! 21F currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 right on the edge of that death band. snow has really picked up in last few minutes from moderate to mod-heavy. even if we don't see big totals, this is a very memorable storm. closest to blizzard/whiteout conditions that I've seen in this area. very epic storm so far. I was nervous waking up at 5 am to nothing but it delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyGeekGirl Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Haddon Heights NJ here, about 5 miles SE of South Philadelphia. I woke up at 6:30 and it was snowing lightly and absolutely nothing was on the grass, streets or sidewalks. I was completely pissed. I sang my snow song and went back to bed for an hour. At 7:30 it was properly snowing and there was a coating on the ground. As of 11:00 there were 2.5" on the ground and it's still snowing like mad. It's hard to tell sometimes how hard it's snowing because of the wind blowing snow off of the roof, trees etc. Either way, we should get at least 6" out of this.

RedSky Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 What a deathband on radar for east Jersey to NYC longest one I have ever seen, relatives in eastern Monmouth says it's like a snow gun lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SP Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I believe this would be the death band mentioned. Everything is more..... This has been fun. Quite often these occur during the evening hours and you wake up with the piles of snow etc. Watching it play out is a treat. No clue on snow amounts.....my hunch would be well past 10" and piling up fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattinpa Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Well this is two storms now that I was definitely lower than other parts of the region, but it's still early in the season.

Have to look for the silver lining in these things we have a better chance of ice and holding near freezing Mon-Tue when those death band guys will melt away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwilson Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Moderate snow continuing. Winds in the 20s with gusts to >30. It feels nasty out, though. I could sense frostbite after a good 20-30 minutes out there. I attempted to measure, took many groups, basically with measurements from 2.5" up to 7", though 4" seemed fairly consistent in flatter areas (and passes the eye test). I can say it is snowing hard enough that my boot tracks were filled in almost immediately after I made them. Still, I would love to experience that huge band on the shoreline right now. Nothing that intense made it this far west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
