LVblizzard Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 In that band over the Lehigh Valley right now. Steady light to moderate snow has been falling for over an hour. Coating on everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delaware Valley Weather Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 3 hours ago, ChasingFlakes said: Did you accumulate anything during the afternoon? Phoenixville didnt see snow until 7:45. Also it's always cool to drive from the bottom of the hill I live on which is 150' in elevation at the bottom, to 600' at the top. Just that 400-500 ft elevation change is noticeable as the driveways and road always accumulate up top first. The lawns also always hold more snow despite the same northeast aspect. That 1-1 1/2 degree F average temperature difference during precipitation can be noticeable in marginal mixed events like this. Nothing accumulated after about 830 am or so. Even though it snowed lightly after that time it warmed above freezing and the sun could be seen through the clouds. On the elevation topic...I remember a storm here in 2001 where we had about a foot in lionville and only 3” in downingtown. It was a very elevation dependent storm. At one point early in the morning there was a driving snow, several inches and snow covered roads on the top of the hill while a half mile away down the hill it was raining. The hills were literally snow capped. Pretty crazy event and one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenmsav6810 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 snow started at 7:50pm in Pottstown probably up to 0.7" now. Curiously the temperature has dropped from 34 to 31 to 29f. Got home from the ski shop in exton at 9:30pm, roads weren't bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fwiw, the 04z HRRR upped the snowfall about an inch for us southern and eastern denizens. Radar is starting to get busy down around DC and to the west, hope it doesn't bring too much warm air with it initially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penndotguy Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Mt Holly 12:50am update Better forcin and isentropic lifting will arrive closer to daybreak yielding more widespread and heavier precip generally from SW to NE. With that said, looks like our storm total snow forecast my be a bit too high for our far northwestern areas of the southern Poconos and NW NJ. Will reassess and make adjustments as needed with the next forecast update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 It defies reality how bad computer models are, the 0z euro has reverted to it's earlier run gives me an hour of snow when the real stuff arrives around 7am then a couple hours of IP and mix. Done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I don't know what's up with the radar this year, but it's still snowing (albeit, very lightly) here in central Chester County. Also unknown: my apartment driveway was very heavily salted earlier and easily withstood the first part of this system, but has now completely caved somehow under an additional .5" of snow at 30°F. I didn't think there was that much runoff from the first part to completely wash it all away, but what do I know lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
