Lehigh Valley to Reading to Southern Poconos to NW NJ ...obs and banter!

[WeatherGuide]

I agree with those in here saying about the NW fringe of this. Just from an eyeball I'd day 50 or so miles further north and east. Tonights second round is going to be something to watch for a lot of us. Can't believe I have about 3-4" here already.

A quick request to those of you posting Obs & totals, could you please specify location in your post. (Many of us view the forum on mobile devices that don't display sigs, etc.). Thanks. And keep posting!

Btw.

Bangor, Pa

Received about 1.5" from phase 1. With 2" on the Blue Ridge straddling the Monroe/Northampton County border.

And just a coating here in NW NJ which is melting anyways. lol Will definitely be a close call Reading to Allentown to Sparta this evening.

That snow band has moved into Lehigh County from Reading. Moderate snow falling again.

Golf ball sized flakes.

[snywx]

Its truly amazing that over here in Middletown all we have had were a few stray flurries.. The pattern the last 2 yrs has been unreal..

[Big Jims Videos]

Sun has been peeking through here at work in Moosic. I saw a flurry driving in. That's all for now.

[Boreal]

Since it's now-wish-casting time, would a 35 mile jog NW Be too much to ask?

Light snow redrafting in northern Northampton County.

Year without a winter continues ... Hazleton, PA

Snow flurries - dusting

Now sun is peaking out and temps are at 30

Probably. That's an awful lot of Mikes to bring together and get to exercise.

[LVblizzard]

The HRRR shows 1" for northern Lehigh county and 10"+ for southern Lehigh...talk about a gradient.

In this winter it seems the answer would be yes. lol I would not give up all hope just yet but also keep those expections tempered. In the PHI thread the latest image of the HRRR model sim radar image and snow output was posted. That is something to perhaps pin your hopes on but again keep those expectations tempered.

Down at lehigh university in bethlehem there is probably about 2". About 1-1.5" here at my location. My dad reported about 3" in Quakertown around 10:30.

I78 and Rte 33 are in good condition, just wet. Some back roads are messy.

Models always have trouble picking up on typos.

I complain a lot, but you have had it real bad. Sorry bud.

[NortheastPAWx]

lol

Can't see the image...what is it supposed to be?

looks like we may pull out and inch or two with this final batch in part 1

HRRR with 10" around philly and almost nothing north of I78. Try right clicking the words "Posted Image" (if that's what you see) and click View Image.

how the hell can we believe any model at this juncture? They have been all wrong. There are no excuses. I spent days watching this storm in the models only to see no model be right. Time to watch the radars and see what falls. The radars indicate way west for snowfall and I hope it continues

[WeatherGuide]

The WRF is BS just based on the radar itself. There is little match between the two.

[mcgin]

Nice returns just south of Willow Grove moving towards the Lehigh Valley. I like the overall filling in on the radar in Delaware.

Thanks for posting that loop. Nice redevelopment over Northampton County into Monroe over the last hour or so.

[chademer07]

I'm at PSU berks in reading and the nws has a wsw for 8-12 inches, I don't think we'll end up with more than 6, any thoughts?

[rygar]

ARW and NMM for N and W

[dssbss]

So...what's the latest for tonight in the Berks county area....about 3 inches in Oley Twp.

[chrisNJ]

Check out how accurate these models were for this 1st round of snow. Shows virtually no precip over the area from 9 am to 4 pm.

ARW and NMM for N and W

[rygar]

well, given my total storm accumulation of .1 I have little reason to quibble.

[_AR_]

[RkTec]

Ended up with a total of 2.4" from the first event.

[eastonwx]

just measured 1.2" in Martins Creek; I'm sure some of it settled though
