Birds~69 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Snowing in Horsham PA....ground coated. But looking at the radar, doesn't look like it will last all that long... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastonwx Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Not questioning a delay for a hour but to cancel when the roads will be clear in a couple hours?....I thought it might be a school,,,,I am sure a few will have a delayed opening but not many cancellations I would suspect many schools up here in Lehigh Valley are closed or delayed...not too surprised, it's the timing I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Most schools here are closed for less than an inch of snow. Not sure I've ever seen that happen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wederwarrior Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 many schools up here in Lehigh Valley are closed or delayed...not too surprised, it's the timing I guess yeah, the timing was the culprit snowing lightly, up to 2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Heavy snow right now I'd say a little more than an inch has fallen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Has been snowing at a moderate to heavy clip here since 6am...have not measured but it appears we are over an inch and likely nearing 2" on the ground here in NW Chester County PA Temp 26.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbs Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 0.8" but near back edge. Looks like we will get our 1" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 S+ here from about 6:30 to 6:50...about an inch on the ground now. Maybe another hour of tapering snow based on the radar. 28 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny and Warm Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 2" in the ABE area. This puppy looks about done though. A shame. It had some good SN+ for a while. Edit: This event looks like it was well modeled over the last few days. Kudos to the models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastonwx Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 OK, made my first cocorahs obs...1.6" snow, melted equiv. of .08", what does that ratio work out to be? 20:1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For QPF I guess they did a pretty good job, but isn't this event ending a lot earlier than the models said it would? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'm happy to see us eastern PA folks will end up getting what we expected, no rip offs. places like southern Jersey should be extremely happy based on the radar this morning. It looks real good down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersWx92 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 About half and inch or so on the ground right now with the main band about to move in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'm happy to see us eastern PA folks will end up getting what we expected, no rip offs. Agreed. Even though we got less than the 12/26 storm here, this wasn't anywhere near a disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny and Warm Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 For QPF I guess they did a pretty good job, but isn't this event ending a lot earlier than the models said it would? In this area, they called for a quick hitting couple inches as the front pulled through. This started lightly around 4am, got down to business at 5am, and became light again at 7am. I expect this to be over by 8am. That's exactly what my expectation was considering the model data, and it has held true. A reasonable person should not have expected to get only two inches in an 8-10 hour event. To me and in my area, this was always a 4-6 hour event. I suspect points north and east get 8-10 hours of snow, and thus why they are forcasting 3-6 inches there. Just my take on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwinter23 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 impressive ratios down there...This could translate very nicely further northeast where a little more qpf has been modeled the whole time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJwinter23 Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Most schools here are closed for less than an inch of snow. Not sure I've ever seen that happen before. That is unique. I remember back in the 03-04 or 04-05 winter we had a surprise burst of snow that developed overnight across my county pretty much..it was snowing at 7AM when I woke up to school cancellations and 3" on the ground. December 9th 2005 was also a very lucky/great timing event for me. it started snowing around 6AM I guess, It was raining 5 miles southeast of me, but we had 3.5" on the ground by 8AM or so before it changed to heavy rain for the final 2 hrs. They had to cancel school that day as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
