LVLion77 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 IP has really picked up over last 30 minutes temp now starting back up now at 25.8....just measured another 0.3" of IP bringing our snowfall for the day up to 6.0" - also noting a few mangled snow flakes starting to mix back in over the last few minutes...should see a transition back to snow later tonight from NW to SE....someone will pick up several more inches in wrap around later tonight....not sure where but - nice storm for December!!The front end thump is so important as the wraparound is generally over-predicted in these storms and often disappoints. It is tough to say what will happen with this one as the nowcasting presentation is questionable to our southwest but let’s see what happens as the low cranks up further to see if it fills.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcostell Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Still mostly sleet in Haddon Heights with ZR mixed in. We were 32- back down to 31. Holding the line up 4 miles from the Delaware. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also all the snow maps that have been flying around with 10:1 ratios are garbage and now you know why. Warm punch was modeled on the NAM since Sunday actually. Most of us shrugged it off as the NAM at range but it led the way....again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 18F and heavy snow. I’m thinking 5-7 so far but tough with the wind and blowing snow. We are definitely in a snow cloud here. Can’t see anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatamy Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 It's been quite an evening here. We now have sleet pellets mixed in and according to Dual Pol Doppler we will be transitioning soon.

weathernut85 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 1 hour ago, CoolHandMike said: Anyone want to hazard a guess as to why all the models and predictions turned out to be so wrong with this storm? Two days ago we were supposed to get almost 2' of snow, then yesterday they backed it off to 13", and now I have barely 4" with sleet coming down much further north than predicted, with not much else seemingly incoming. I mean, I want to be happy for the first major snowfall in a long, long while, but why the huge bust this time? Perhaps someone else can better describe this, but I think a main problem was some of the models were keeping the low fragmented at 700 mb and 500 mb and not quite closed off at all levels of the atmosphere, so that it was more just an 850 mb low level circulation with a progressive ripple trough higher up that would gently slide east off the coast. But the low closed off --I don't think it's fully stacked ? (someone better can say for sure)...but the trough tilted more negative, and this sort of yanked back on the surface low to hug into the coast close, taking the track over the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays we see tonight. Again, someone probably knows a better website (?) but you can see the different upper air maps here from Norman, OK -- all of them have a low plotted generally over the Delmarva (though I don't think the low is quite that far NW attm fwiw).

LVLion77 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Snow and sleet battling here in Macungie, i thought snow was back at 100% but sleet now back big time.

Hurricane Agnes Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I noticed the fog was back (vis. about 1/2 mile) and checked outside and am now getting ZR.

No other way to code it except as a good old fashion bustorama with the forecast for the north and west burbs. Can’t complain to much on my street. I was always on that shaft zone. sleeting hard again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
