Physicsteve Posted Tuesday at 09:47 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:47 PM I saw a brine truck doing its thing earlier and figured some advisories must have been hoisted. Then I had to think about what day it was and why they were doing it now. There's probably enough crushed salt left on the roads anyway (jk?) Not sure what to think about this event. Obviously not a blockbuster like potentially exists on the horizon, but it doesn't take much ice or sleet to make driving a dicey proposition. Happening overnight and into the Thursday AM commute may make this more impactful than face value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted Wednesday at 01:52 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:52 AM 0Z HRRR has the burbs never getting above freezing till after precip stops with a couple inches of snow/sleet combo before some freezing drizzle to end. Of course not a forecast! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albedoman Posted Wednesday at 04:22 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:22 AM First and most likely my last call for tomorrow night for Macungie - 2-4+ inches of snow and sleet and then a prolong period of light freezing rain and drizzle to form a nice crust. Real bitch to shovel and to drive. Warning, do not scrape off snow/sleet until event is over on the vehicles and walkways. Put down salt tomorrow afternoon. You want the brine on the bottom of this crap By next weekend, we will get crushed. 12-18+ inches for the LV looks promising. with the better model consistency coming into play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted Wednesday at 12:05 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:05 PM NAM showing no snow at all for anyone in PA but sleet and then still quite a bit of ZR - it has temps getting above freezing across most of PA by the 11am or noon tomorrow. IF this were correct some significant +0.25 amounts of ZR across Chester County Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penndotguy Posted Wednesday at 12:16 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:16 PM Correct me if I’m wrong but it seems the starting time for this mess is between 4-6am where previously it was 1-4am. I think the later start time would be even more concerning more traffic on the roads etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will go above freezing tomorrow and everything will be normal. For snow fans this sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were supposed to $hitt the blinds and rain until 2/20 or so. I'll take a period of ice as a small win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newman Posted Wednesday at 02:17 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:17 PM That 12z HRRR run is really snowy for much of Berks and the Lehigh Valley. I think it's out to lunch, it's the only model that mutes the WAA and keeps it at bay. The entire profile stays below freezing for most of the storm. I guess it's hard to know whether the warmer (NAM) or colder (HRRR) models will win out as of now. The typical model biases are being shown... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it eventually it’ll warm above freezing but out this way we tend to hold on to icing longer than predicted in almost cases, especially if it starts near rush hr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted Wednesday at 03:45 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:45 PM Hoping the NAM is drunk again as while it has almost no snow for anyone in PA it does have quite a bit of sleet followed by ZR - up to 1/3 inch of ice for my area would be far from swell.....

Rough morning commute for sure till about 10am I don't see it being rough at all maybe just maybe backroads little dicey that's about it. Local burbs with the low around 29 or 30 plus they will brine today, should be mainly wet. The city should be no problem. Freezing rain sucks when it's in a low to mid-20s but near 30 it's mainly wet on the roads. Trees and branches are different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
