Not sure what to do? Clean off the car/shovel....or wait for the other thing-ma-jigger blob to roll through since I'm already up?

The low is still inland and south and it's like we are in a dry slot before a potential additional batch if that holds together.  Not sure how strong it would be though.

It was crazy driving to work. I live just N of Reading where we had 4.5". I work in Lyons Station close to Kutztown where they easily have a foot. Luckily roads are just wet. Light snow has started back up.

Interesting temp eval here where it was mostly mid-30s until the storm came in between 1 - 2 am and crashed the temp to right around or just below freezing and raised the dp.

I expected wet slop on the streets but although I expect they brined/salted, the areas on either side of my car have little or nothing.

We ended up with 2.8" of snow here in East Nantmeal which makes 13.3" of snow this week! That is more than our normal February snow of 11.9". Season to date we are at 24.5" which is only 0.8" below our normal seasonal snow to date. The storm delivered an unexpected dump of snow as a narrow band of heavy snow formed just 18 to 30 miles north of Chester County. For example in Fleetwood 9.0" of snow fell just 19 miles north of EN. Another example is just south of Allentown a spotter reported 12.1" while only 2 miles north of there another spotter recorded almost 4.5" - impossible to forecast those kind of snow bands!

Finally got my two inches. What a struggle it has been. Hahaha Incredible to hear about those amounts just to my north! Congrats everyone!

Seems like folks around rts 78 and 22 maxed out. What a difference 25 miles (for me) makes! Currently getting some of Agnes’ light snow blob. Maybe another shower or squall later if they can make it across PA.

Still getting SN- with the back edge of that 2nd round moving through but the sky is brightening and the sun wants to bust through.

Still holding at 31/30 temp/dp.

Not here, great scenery and low clouds w/another batch...31F w/some flakes.

well this drought guy has had his ass handed to him this week on a silver shovel in the Macungie area .  On Tuesday, I had nearly 11 inches of snow.  Well this morning, add and other 15 inches  and I have  had over two feet in 5 days.  No model in the world saw this coming. That deathband gave me 4 in+ hour rates for 1.5 hours. We now have had more snow this year than any area in PA right now- Alburtis Macungie area is now the snow king of PA this year.- just unbelievable  I shall declare the drought dead and for some people who hate snow, they would say the groundhog was dead to. LOL

I slept through the whole thing. Looks like 2” eyeballing it from the house, roads and sidewalks just wet. A friend of mine in Kulpsville was out with the dog around 3am and reported light IP at the time.

31F/DP 29F

Cloudy a few snow flurries blowing through 32.9f humidity 88% dewpoint 29f pressure 29.73 steady wind west northwest 6 mph. 

 

Total snowfall here in Media 3.5" all surfaces except only 2.1" on paved surfaces. 

Looks like we made up from some lost time with a band that came up from the SW and set up just northeast of the Mason Dixon Line.

Considering RedSky Country picked up 5.5' in like an hour and a half before the first flake even fell here and my 2.3" under over I would say victory here lol.

The Trees and wires are loaded definitely not the powder that some say we would get it's once again a wet gloppy snow straight out to the Pacific Ocean thank you Pacific Ocean for 

Some that were under WWA got 13" of snow while others in WSW got Advisory level snows this guy! 3.5" so the 2-4" I was looking for worked out.

 

Snowfall total on the year here: 15.7"
