Birds~69 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 12 minutes ago, The Iceman said: snow is blowing sideways right now and it looks like it is dusk outside. really dark and gray. low visibility. I think slush is accumulating on sidewalks in trenton and on lesser streets. I'm very curious how back home in Levittown is doing. Does anyone in lower bucks have a report? Neighbors have light sensitive automatic outdoor lighting...and they're on at 1:55pm which means it dark. Radar looks great: 32.3F Heavy snow/wind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 wind must have really picked up...it's shaking my building on the 6th floor and I've never heard that. pretty impressive. gust must be at least 40-50 mph... we had lights flicker 5 mins ago but no loss.

ChescoWx Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Still snowing here in NW Chesco....but looks like heaviest band is setting up about 8 miles to my east - with temps just above freezing should not accumulate too much more unless another band forms or sinks down from the NE - Temp back up to 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds~69 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 18 hours ago, Birds~69 said: Yep, although I don't live around you I fully expect to see some flickerage (if not out of power) the next day or so. And the lawn feels like a bunch of of wet Nerf balls...I sink and squash with every step. Very saturated. I'm fully pumped to see wet pasting snow with 40-50mph+ winds. I'll be the idiot outside (BBQing?) enjoying it while to neighbors peep out their windows saying WTF is that guy doing?? And since it's a Friday night...booze may be involved. Prediction: 3.5" - 4-5" lawn/trees/power lines and some paved surfaces depending on intensity. It's not really the amount but I think it's going to look pretty cool out there with the nutjob winds.....whiteout potential at times? I just had some dimming and flickerage and it went out for about 3minutes but came back on relatively fast. Have 3 laptop battery backups and can tether through my phone so I'm in good shape.. My prediction is off: 6 - 7" is where I'm at now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Just got back to Thorndale from KOP. The mall area was horrible. 202 was caving fast. Massive flakes. Easy 1-2” on ground already. Snow slowed as you went west. About 0.5” in Thorndale area up over 500’. That western edge is cut off at West Chester from the better rates in Chester Co. Still very windy over the area.
