Recency bias, maybe? Never in my life been more accepting of dustings and coatings before. Anything 2”+ feels like a hurdle cleared and something I no longer take for granted (that’s what she said). 

After the last couple of winters, it feels like a Herculean effort to get a plowable event.

Been snowing moderately to heavily for the last hour and as of 5:45 pm we're up to 1" at 31F, so 3/4" in the last hour (had about 1/4" all day sadly). Radar looks great and if we can keep up good intensity through maybe 9 pm we might just get to 4".  Big dendrites - very pretty out there.  Just got done shoveling and I would imagine my experience is similar to anyone near or SE of 95 - we had slush underneath, then snow on top and it was a bit of work to get the bottom layer up - but it'll be impossible by late tonight, I think.  So shovel.  

As of 6:45 pm we had 1.75" on the ground at 30F, so another 3/4" in the last hour and right now it's just puking heavy snow (likely >1"/hr rates).  Just went out for a drive to White Rose because I love driving in the snow and, duh, we love us some White Rose on a snowy day.  All secondary roads are snow covered and icy, while Route 1 was mostly wet, but snow was starting to accumulate on it.

Looks like a pilated woodpecker!  Didn't consider if they ever went to feeders but there it is... :lol:

Yeah, visits every day. I hear her yapping and drumming on a daily basis. I have about 30 species that visit my feeders since I moved to Jamison, Eastern Bluebirds are a special sight to see

Am down to SN- with some fatties mixed in, and even have some breaks in the clouds although I expect that will close over as the back edge moves this way.

I had to customize that suet feeder just for the Pileated Woodpecker, double cake jawn

Those are good-sized birds.  My Montco sis gets the smaller downy woodpeckers who manage to make buckshot holes all over her deck rails. :axe:

As of 7:45 pm, we have 2.75" OTG at 30F, for 1"/hr the past hour and it's still heavy snow and is definitely higher ratio snow than earlier, as it's drier and has better formed dendrites, so I think we're going to get to 3.5-4.0" assuming we get another hour or so of decent snowfall.  Just wish we didn't miss so much earlier today and for about 20 minutes about 90 minutes ago when we were in a bit of a snow hole with light to moderate snow when everyone around us had heavy echoes. It happens.

Still snowing in Allentown but it’s very light and not really accumulating. I measured 6.5” and that will probably be it. Very happy with that.
Yea, same for Reading. 6.5" with light wind swept snow ongoing. Nice, fast hitting system. My over/under was 4". Mt. Holly nailed it out here.

As of 8:45 pm we have 3.3" OTG at 28F, as temps are starting to drop more quickly. That's about 0.6" the last hour, as intensity wasn't as consistently high. Guessing we have another 20 min of moderate/heavy snow, then maybe another 30 min of light/moderate snow after that, so thinking we'll get to 3.7-3.8". Still a cool storm and we're going to have this snow around for a couple of weeks, which is nice (for me).

Is she sure they’re not from carpenter bees
