Made me smile seeing Philly come in with 5" I’m bit to the south of Fleetwood and was at 3.75 but about 4ish a moderate to heavy band came through lasted about an hour and that added another .25” we’re doin decent in Berks I sit at 11.25” for the season so far 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattinpa Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 After doing some shoveling yesterday I will revise my amount up. Couldn’t tell well by eyeballing. More like 5 inches fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albedoman Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 as winter arrived a few days earlier than I thought nearly a month ago, this will all be history by the end of the week with the normal january thaw as the pattern begins to reload. I will predict that by the end of the week, most of this snow cover will be gone except for the huge snow piles in the parking lots with the barrage of moderate rain events and warmer temps. Then by the the 30th, another whopper of a rain/snow storm is leading the way to bring cold temps back into our area after Ground hogs day. Snow for the Poconos mix for LV and rain for Philly appears to be the makeup of that storm event. Anything can happen as there is not enough cold air in place right now in the models. After that the new pattern gets established during the first week in February, by the third week of February there is a real good chance of a significant winter storm event (maybe a few back to back events ) for the entire region. This what historically I have seen in a typical scenario of a relaxing El Nino pattern in the last 30 years here. welcome comments but this what I have witnessed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Di Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 20F. Lots of blowing snow. Gorgeous out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I did a double-check earlier this morning to see if any amounts changed after my last 4.25" measurement around 5 pm yesterday, and it didn't, so am going with that. Just came in from removing the snow from the car and thankfully it is some really powdery stuff. I saw the winds had started to pick up so figured better get it done now since it's also blowing around, and that would aid getting leftovers off the roof (have a big SUV). Currently breezy and sunny, with lots of cumulus, and 21, with dp an arctic 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have good feeling about mid February thru early March might be good 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Finished shoveling late yesterday, got a nice snowpile together! (Been a couple of years). Let's see if it can survive the upcoming thaw. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see if it can survive the upcoming thaw. OMG it's been a LONG time since we've seen the epic snow pile at your spot! As powdery stuff, six on one side says it would go quickly and a dozen on the other says if there is some rain in there with melting and refreezing, the potential for glacier creation would be there to help build a solid foundation. So far today (and probably the final) my "high" for the day was 23 at midnight as I got no higher than 22 during the daytime hours. It's currently partly sunny but with a high cloud deck moving in, and 22 with dp 9. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are rare these days. Now we can go 3-4 weeks w/o squat which we have now just started... 19F/DP 10F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprinkle a light mist over it so it freezes solid over night maybe prolong it a bit more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Made measurements in Horsham and got 2.7" snow Sunday. Probably some slight shrinkage but thought there would be more. 5" base with a solid ice layer between storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
