CoolHandMike Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Driveway caved. Finally below freezing at 31.6°F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albedoman Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I am quite surprised. I have well over 3 inches of snow on the picnic table here in Macungie and on the grass right now, much less on the pavements. The best snowfall rates all year with fluffy half dollar size dendrites falling heavily. If this death band keeps going, we will have met winter storm requirements in the next few hours. Again, its about dam time it snows here this year instead of at the shore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fields27 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Sad to say but this is our biggest event so far this winter. Was super surprised when I looked out the window. Looks like 3" or so on the branches. That nice little "death band" parked itself nicely over Berks. Radar looks good for the next couple hours too.

Happy Super Sunday! Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk well, here it comes from the media- Its an "OVERPERFORMER" . Not one weather model predicted this type of lifting right now over us. Definite now cast event. we just got plain lucky with the location of death band in the LV. Well over 4 inches now approaching 5 inches and coming down at 1-2 in per hour. By 6am, should be well over 6 inches if this keeps up. Winter storm warning maybe issued? Its the most snow on the limbs that I have seen in over a year. real plasterer for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albedoman Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 1 minute ago, RedSky said: Drought buster? No way. The snow falling now should be almost gone by Thursday and mostly by evaporation. However, a 2-3 inch long duration steady rainfall event would be real nice in early March as a drought buster when the soils are not frozen to the depth they are at right now and that would kill any chances of a drought. Just do not see this in this progressive pattern right now. This snow will be history by 9am as fast as this precip is moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtd208 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Light snow falling here. Estimated 0.5"-1.0" of accumulation especially on colder surfaces. Temp 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Talking about busts in an 80's like winter, late February 1987 heavy thunderstorms were forecast to change to snow before ending in the early morning. 30" snow later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penndotguy Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 31f with light snow at the moment, 4.25” on the colder surfaces but the roads caved a bit but only 1.75” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Looks like that 0z NAM had the right idea last night but the bullseye zone was shifted well to the NW probably due to the temps. Current for where it thinks things are and progged snow (still low-balling LV stripe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Currently still holding at 32 with dp 30. Still getting an alternating drizzle/flurries mix or just SN- with not much accumulation on top of what is there, since melting is going on. Looks like the I-78 - I-80 corridor cashed in (so far). Various Berks Co reports of 4" - 5+" (ETA - just saw Newman's post above). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Went out to get a measurement off the board and have 1.25" (wet/compacted) at post time. ETA to add Mt. Holly's latest note (but still too low for further north based on current obs up there) - Not sure when it will eventually happen but the digging trough/jet apparently didn't "dig" as deep as progged (at least for this time frame) to bring the cold air in further south for the precip to accumulate in the I-95 corridor as much as it has north of I-78. ETA2 - I'm not sure of what the WSW criteria is upstate but I think ours down here is at least 6" and they are getting close to that north of I-78... and if the criteria is the same, then they might warrant a WSW in the LV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds~69 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Approx 2" or so. Definitely has that March snow look w/everything plastered. Back streets have a spotty slushy coating and main streets clear. Really don't expect much more in the way of accumulation. Berks/LV made out well... 31F/light/mod snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Looks like barring redevelopment snow should be pretty much over soon? Looks between 1.5- 2” here all on grassy/cold surfaces. Side roads have a layer of slush beginning to build but mostly just wet. Looks like the heaviest rates set up well n and w of 95 as some meso guidance was hinting last night.

Ralph Wiggum Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 Not surprised at all to see the LV get a flush hit with this one. Midday yesterday you could see the meso picking up the banding feature near Berks, etc which kept ticking NW. I think I made a post that this would probably be their largest of the season to date and had all the feeling of backing into a sneaky surprise event. Well, good morning LV...you were due. A little over 2" here and snow still falling. Pleased with this event considering 36 hrs ago we weren't forecast to see anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
