Yes though for me last time I heard muffled thunder with snow was January 7th 1996. That's weird, I cannot tell you dates exactly but since I moved here to central Bucks in 2010 I have witnessed thundersnow on no fewer than 3 different occasions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the December snow game vs the Lions. I believe Philly was forecasted 1-2” with mix/rain before the storm 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not buying the late arrival of precip on the NAM. It has been doing some weird stuff with the precip field for the last few runs. The 3km looks much more reasonable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I definitely recall hearing some during those back-to-back snowy winters. '09/'10, '10/'11. Before that, it was around '07 when I heard some while traveling for work near Boise, Idaho. That was the first time I ever heard it and I was awestruck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisy Posted Saturday at 09:28 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:28 PM It went west let's not see any more of that garbageI actually thought the rgem ticked SE a bit. Btw my forecast for Philly is the following. Precip will spread into the NW burbs of Philly first. It’ll fill in once the coastal forms which is when the city should see most of its snow. 2.5-3” total. The typical NW corridor will see 4-7” with some 8-9” reports. Mostly because they get that first burst of precip. That initial banding will be fun for whoever gets under it . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
