Most of us shrugged it off as the NAM at range but it led the way....again. Same thing happened here while the other models had all snow. I have about 5 inches on the ground. I had very heavy sleet before South shore of NYC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yak Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Surface temps have actually been falling throughout the day. Looks like RDG reached a high of 29 today at 11:00 a.m. Now 24 with heavy sleet. Just can’t get rid of that warm layer aloft for relief from the pingers...

ChescoWx Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 As of midnight the 7.3" of snow/sleet breaks the old daily Chester County PA record of 6.0" set back in 1973...with another 2" of snow from this storm this event could move into the top 10 December Snowstorms in Chester County History dating back to 1894. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ughhhh I always miss the jackpot zone somehow haha I know there was some concern about whether anyone would have any jackpots that actually got anywhere near the early snow maps, so considering that there was some wrap-around overnight, it will be interesting to see the final numbers and if any did get close.

There will be a strip of 20-36” totals with this one. Those pictures from BGM and nearby are insane. That’s what I was chasing . You don’t get many opportunities for this, but there will be another one. Still chasing the mythical 30” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was only 8, but I have great memories of that storm. I’m just a little upset because on my last 4 chases I setup shop in the wrong spot. Nemo is the one that pisses me off the most. Did will in C Ma, but that snow in CT was off the chains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember way back when Randy and crew chased and live-blogged on here (when it was still Eastern Weather) a lake-effect event up on the Tug Hill Plateau. That was a wild thread.

SP Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Well this was obviously not what we all hoped for, however, after last year its hard to complain. While I do not have an official measurement for my perch on the mountain my confidence is high that 12” was exceeded but doubtful it would go beyond 14-16. I will survey later once the sun comes up.There were certainly moments of puking snow and wind creating white out conditions. I did not stay up for the upper low backlash but looking at the cameras it certainly delivered 4-6+ in short order. Can really see it pile up on time scroll. Funny my skiers were all cheering for the mega storm. I reminded them when this was obviously going to under perform that 2-3ft powder in the Poconos is really NOT the best conditions for skiing. There is simply not enough vertical and length, unlike say VT, NH and out west. (There are a few exceptions that our trail specific, like razor).Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
