Winter Storm Warning for me in Lower Bucks - just over the river in Burlington Cty, Hightstown NJ area where my daughter tells me she is under a Blizzard Warning (Double Checked weather.gov)- didn't think that it came in that far west

I am sorry but MT Holly has blown this one. Not even issuing winter weather advisory for a metro area of almost 1 million people now.   It is  just plain wrong when several models are indicating snow accumulation approaching 4-6 inches for southern Lehigh County. They  have done this before by issuing winter storm warning too late in the ballgame,  I would have put up a winter storm watch and a winter weather advisory at the minimum. Many people in Berks, Lehigh and County are going to be upset and tons of accidents as a result.  Just saying  history repeating itself.

They clearly aren't putting any eggs in the NAM/Euro basket. I do agree that an advisory should definitely go out. Just to make people aware of the possibilities.

How often do you see Mt Holly issue blizzard warnings that fan out to storm Warnings with no advisories to the fringe side? It's odd.

What is falling right now, I will say, is definitely 15:1 ratio.  No doubt 

But that wind :P

On a serious note, wind may damage dendritic plates and pack snow depth, but in the LE gauge it still amounts to the same amount of snowfall wind or not.. 15:1 should be common especially as temps continue to drop to around 20 overnight near the peak of the event.

Eta: the 20:1 that chris sauers is stating probably not so much...that seems extreme
