Upper Bucks/Mont/lower Berks counties/Allentown is where the tapering/lighter stuff line is kinda hanging. (cutoff) Lower part of Mont/Bucks counties should do well. Bands are lining up and starting to drill me now. Winds really make this storm better. Been a while where I've seen some/any drifting which is occurring...

Bliz299 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Took a nice stroll around the area about 7:30am. Visibility is often below 1/4 mile. In open spots that wind is nasty! Had a new peak gust for the day 48mph@7:41am. Fun!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummmm, sure. We may see peeks of sun later but if you say so. May have meant winds/cold and not snow? I expect the snow to be over in the 2pm range...

Mikeymac5306 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Was a nice band over here about an hour ago seems to have slowed a bit. Still snowing decent though. 24 degrees and wind. Looks like it is beginning to push out in Lancaster Co moving east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTA66 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Some heavier bands pushing NW, let's see how far they make it. Still getting mod snow here, but difficult to say how much on the ground with the winds -- the car is pretty much clear of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Currently under a heavier band at the moment. Probably have about an inch out there really blowing around. Temp 23F with dp up to 22 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Snowing at a moderate clip here. The darker greens have finally filled back west on radar. Unfortunate part is the winds are so strong they will limit accumulation for those of us out further west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Radar over my area looks awesome, ground truth visibility over a mile. The great mirage storm of 2018 here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Actually not. The light greens which were persistent in these areas have filled in nicely w/darker greens...good news.Next 2-3 hours is the height of the storm for us. Enjoy! Definitely not a bust here....about what I was expecting. Maybe we can still overachieve? No complaints here tho....adding to our seasonal totals and snowpack on ground for weekend arctic outbreak. Some years we would be begging for this. Enjoy what you have guys, for whatever it is. Gonna break out my "Fat Tire Sled Tube" I got for Christmas later today. Love sledding with the kiddos but the old plastic and wooden flyer ones are no good on the old back. Went with the tube style most ski resorts use. Excited to try it out.....hoping it flies but also that we dont end up in creek 75 yards from bottom of hill :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iceman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I would guess 1.5"? haven't measured since hitting an inch but possibly could be more. we have had very steady snow since before 7. I think 4" is definitely reachable here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
