BBasile Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Coming down nicely still. Up to 1.9". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RU848789 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Wow, snowing heavily now, since about 10:30 am with beautiful dendrites and we've gone from about 1/4" at about 10:15 am to 1.0" on the ground now as of just about 11:00 am, which is > 1" per hour rates over the last 30 minutes or so. I'd have to guess this is 15-20:1 snow to liquid ratios - very fluffy/low bulk density stuff, one could use a broom to clear. If we can somehow keep this up for awhile 2" or more is back in play. 29F still. For awhile was afraid we might get shut out, now I'm getting greedy for 2-3", but not sure that's in the cards this far NE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Di Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Had a time of just pixie dust and is now coming down more intense. I'm in the back and forth. But doing good. 27F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 You can clearly see on radar the IVT backing in from the east and enhancing rates across the more southeast areas. It is trying to enhance things a bit back here in NW Chesco as the snow rate has increased over the last few minutes....but suspect we may be a bit to northwest of the greatest lift so thinking we end up on the low end of the current NWS forecast for here 3" to 7" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Down to light snow here, 28F/DP 24F. Haven't been out to measure yet, but just eyeballing it I'd say at least 2". Hopefully the models are right about cranking things up again in another hour or two, 4" may be in reach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow back to light/moderate level, but the radar looks pretty good for the next hour or so, so 2" looks to be a lock. Amazing how quickly things can change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fields27 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Just got back from a jebwalk with the dog. Intensity picked up by the time I got back. We are up past 2.5". Light to moderate and hanging on the edge via radar. Philly area on s and e look to be cashing in. Radar looks JUICED down there.

ChescoWx Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Steady snow continues with a slight increase in intensity over the last few minutes. As of 12 noon we are up to 3.0" of snow on the dot here in East Nantmeal. Temp is up to 27.2. Of note I can see it is also snowing heavily down in Sea Isle City with a temp there of 32.7 degrees - roads are starting to cave down there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as of noon, we're at 1.8", so about 0.4" per hour the last 30 min, as intensity has let up with a dry patch, but the radar looks pretty good for at least the next 30 minutes, so we'll get to 2" soon. Based on the inverted trough being likely to set up well south of here (looks like an impressive blob in the Baltimore-Philly corridor and SE of that line - is that it?), I doubt we'll get beyond 3", but even with light snow much of the day 3" is possible. Still 29F so everything is accumulating even on the roads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never tried to measure snow ratios before, but I might give it a try, as I think we're probably in the 15:1 or more neighborhood. Gorgeous. And the radar still looks pretty good for the next 30 min. Still 29F. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard-on-GFS Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Ripping snow down in Manahawkin, radar looks great down here, we only saw a little over an inch with the earlier bands. This is our chance here for accumulations. SE Jersey coast looks to be in good shape. Waiting/hoping that this band pivots into an inverted trough as the low pulls away. Gonna be real interesting to see if that feature ends up setting up or not. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Ratios are phenomenal would love to know what they actually are right now with light snow added another .4" since noon to reach 2.9" Reached double digits on the season at 10.2" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Still steady light snow in Allentown. We’ve missed all the heavy bands unfortunately. We might get to 2”. Slightly disappointing even though my expectations were not very high. No clue what Mt. Holly was thinking…and their point forecast still says 3-5” for some reason.

Winter Wizard Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 I'm told we have between 4 and 5 inches at our house in Wilmington. I no longer live there, but nice to see the area finally get a WSW event. Haven't seen one there since March 2018. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds~69 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Bunch of spotters w/3" circle me w/a random 4"er so I'll go with around that. Probably go out shovel late this afternoon...stuff will get crunchy overnight and don't want to deal w/it tomorrow... 27F/snow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
