Ralph Wiggum Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Looking at SPC's map the band over eastern NJ and the smaller band over western NJ and se Pa are due to 700 and 850mb frontogenesis. Hope they stay here.Puking snow outside here still. That death band is just training right over central Bucks and actually intensifying. Nice surprise.

Birds~69 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Just kicked into another gear...heavy snow. Looks like mid Mont/Bucks counties in a heavier band... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 12 minutes ago, JSharp said: Over 9 inches here in Chadds Ford, PA. The back edge is moving very slowly. Most likely, I will reach double digits here. Measured 7" (total) here at 8 pm, and it's been snowing moderately before and since, courtesy now of the exhaust end of this long skinny band. Reminds me of the latter part of the early March snow. 32F currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RkTec Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Photos taken around 7 p.m. I'm surrounded by woods so not too much interesting to photograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Finally was just able to take my first measurement. 8 inches. I'm sure it's more than that, but compaction and all that. Will have to wait for some other local spotters. Best storm in a couple years. Radar and satellite show this thing going nowhere fast. Congrats and thanks to Mt Holly for being on top of this one.

wkd Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 7" accum. There has been some compaction. Still heavy snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 9.5" levittown at 10 pm. Was snowing moderate the last hour, but back up to heavy in the last 10 or so mins. Snow is very fluffy, not wet at all. Probably have gotten fairly decent ratios, only thing effecting totals is compaction during the day. Might make a run at a foot? Have to look at my records but may make a run at biggest March storm imby in my lifetime. Awesome awesome event. Finally a storm that doesn't end hours before it's suppose to end.

Still a nice storm for the end of March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tried doing just that between 6&7pm but I believe the remains of the upper level low out west held it to the coast like a leash or it would have exited like March 7th It's slinging a swath of light snow back to DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another overperformer! Picked up another inch since last measurement now at 11.75" should break 12" by 11PM given current rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wkd Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 The post I made a while back regarding 700 and 850mb frontogenesis was wrong. The spc map had the radar overlay turned on and I interpreted the colored bands as frontogenesis. My bad. That's why I don't usually post analysis.

The Iceman Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I had a feeling this would last longer than projected after it had taken longer to get it's act together. Textbook example of delayed but not denied. I could totally see it snowing until 5 am like the hrrr shows. Maybe nbc10 girl had meant 6 am for the heavy snow to be over?

KamuSnow Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 Now here is an example of dedication to the cause, as well as an experience in rolling the dice on a snow forecast. Rented this on Monday afternoon for today (1 day rental), experienced the model waffling Monday night, woke up the the 6z NAMs Tuesday morning (big move south in the northern edge of the snow), and before I had a chance to investigate further, the delivery driver called to confirm. Received it about an hour later at 9 am (yesterday) The driver did say that if we didn't use it, he'd only charge for the delivery, which was unexpected and pretty cool. Long story short I'm especially glad we got a plowable snow today, lol. The motivation was partly not feeling the need to shovel a lot of heavy wet snow, but I've been wanting to do this for a while, for fun. Wait until you see the snow pile!

Ok you get the fookin Jebman golden plow award. Must have been stressful as heck last night when the bottom began falling out of guidance and relief today with enough to plow.
