Looks like there's going to be a LONG lull. 2.1" storm total. Temp back up to 24.4 degrees. I had the heaviest rates of the storm about 20 minutes ago right before some sleet began to mix in. I'm not giving up totally but I think the HRRR is going to be right. (Sorry for sounding so down! Not usually like this but all 3 big storms this winter I underperformed by a good margin.) I know it will snow again, maybe this Monday? Hrr goes to 18hrs, and many models have light snow well into tomorrow morning. While best accums may be over for some, there is more snow to come. Consider it mood flakes. BTW, your concern was my concern from days ago when N and W were showing big totals, greater than the LSV. This storm has a progressive look to it (thinking trough axis)t, and not a diggy one (that is what you needed for the coastal numbers to verify. Its more of a wave to weak coastal (and that's not bad at all)....but is just not good for everyone. I think conshohocken folks approve of this event by a 14" margin. It seems like a general 4-8 is reasonable (NW to SE gradient), so I'm not complaining a bit...even as i hear pingers mixing in w/ my 4". If I can eek 2 more inches out through tomorrow morning....thats fantastic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be nice - my 2 personal objectives were to reach my range, which I set to exceed my seasonal average, which I did. Right now I'm at 31.5" for the season, which is a HUGE win during a Nina. I went into the winter, and I shared this with Daxx, expecting 15-20" for the season. (he was more bullish than I was) So, anything from here on out is gravy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Horst (2 minutes ago) on more snow prospects: The back edge is coming fast! A classic warm advection event that plays out in ~6 hours...and so the worst will soon be behind us. As mentioned earlier, a trailing upper-level system may yield a bit of "bonus" light snow tonight into Friday AM. But we'll see about that...

Mshaffer526 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I know some folks to the far NW are disappointed, but this was a fun storm. One of the biggest factors for me with storm enjoyment is start time--nothing better than getting up at 5 AM and brewing some coffee just as the sidewalks are dusting up, and knowing you have nowhere to be. We ended up with about 5.3" here before the sleet took over, and it's coming down hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some serious weenie reporting going on in the Philly thread, or a VERY localized dump in that area. I should have known better than to post weenie info - I take people for face value and assume they're reporting factual totals. My apologies.

Anduril Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Left for work at the store in Carlisle and made it to the exit before mine and met this blocking most of the north bound lane (there was another two tractor trailers behind them off on either side) and then got the call that the store was closing and to head home. Of course :p This was around 11:00am 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many ways to fail with those. We've had some notable exceptions for sure, but I never count on much of anything from them. They really should be renamed "Mountain Shredders". One positive is they are high ratio events. You can score 3-4" of fluff from like .10" of QPF. So there's that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
