Still getting some snow, mainly SN- but with bigger flakes.  Temp is 29 with dp 27.

That ECM map yesterday with the blue bubble of snow over north Bucks was the all time best model performance, never mind how the other 95% of PA did

Nothing happened in PHL. I don't think we even got much qpf

I am "in PHL" although not at the airport and have at least an inch at last measurement (there is a little new stuff on the part of the board I cleared).  Want to see if a round 2 comes to fruition or gets shredded coming over the mountains.

I really live across the airport on NJ side but I mean literally right there. Snowed hard for a bit then stopped nothing much since

Extremely unofficially it looks like PHL has .60” according to iWeatherNet.

It wasn't really progged to have as much S/E even with the latest guidance and was originally expected to be mostly rain with some tail-end switchover as the cold front came through as the precipitation moved away (assuming one ignored the clown maps and maybe looked at the snow depth).  So any snow that did happen was a bonus (at least for those who like snow).  We have been under a WWA - and some of that was due to an upcoming flash freeze to happen later.

The latest from Mt. Holly for us quislings in the SE -

There was an initial PNS and LSR that issued around the 1 pm timeframe and KPHL didn't report for either of those. I expect they might for the next one.  I saw where a spotter in Willow Grove report ZR.
