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

Flakes picking up in size

Shoveled the patio n within 15 minutes another .5 drops

Lovin' the snow in the daytime!

It's not often that you see the RUC come west as the event gets closer. Usually it trends east.

[Big Jims Videos]

Time to bust out the trained eyes.

light snow @ my station..we need to get an inch in the next 2-3 hours--the collapsing line is racing east along I-80 about to clear Dubois and Clarion.

but its going to mean just incredible things south and east of here...

[Keith O]

That "big hit" area on the RUC has been creeping north over past few runs, just a bit more and we get in on the fun. Think the HRWW has been showing that but think the site is down right now.

Moderate snow has begun again as well, guessing about 1.5" so far

20Z RUC close to hitting NW areas hard. As it is still about .5" qpf Sparta to Allentown less NW much more SE.

20z RUC 12 hr precip

has been slowly shifting the axis NW run by run

HRRR has been even more aggressive with the NW areas. 6-10" on it for NW NJ. Still suspect best snows are still aimed along the line PHI to NYC. But NW areas, minus far NW areas, should do respectively well.

It's a race against time. Which gets here first? The heavy precip currently moving north out of Maryland or the collapsing line from the west?

Up in Stroud. at the moment. Steady snow, roads whitening as we approach evening. It looks like the NAM will bust for you as you get that inch or so. Small victories.

[Noreaster07]

To better illistrate this NW trend on the RUC

17z 12 hr precip

18z 12 hr precip

19z 12 hr precip

20z 12 hr precip

[WeatherGuide]

^^^ Those trends look very promising. And I'm just in awe of the radar. By 6-7pm the snow geese will begin to squawk

[MagicalMysteryTour]

So I'm not the only one noticing that the storm seems to be coming more N and NW. All of those RUC images show my area (or very close) being in the some heavy precip for quite some time...

I know the original thought on this storm days ago, was that it would slide right up the NJ coast... Then it started to shift E on the models, but to me, at least now anyway, it seems like it's staying on the coast and spreading the heavy precip more into PA. The coastal is really bombing out way south than previous storms this year.

After looking at the current radar echos, and what some people are postings on the OBS. God help us....lol And i mean that in a good way.

Ratios in VA were 4:1 in places. Wow.

The radar is textbook. It's beautiful. However, I do see that western edge/gradient closing fast like a hawk on its prey. Let's hope majority of that moisture steamrolls north before that edge hits us.

[Big Jims Videos]

I'll take my coating and be happy. Back edge of snow now collapsing towards State College, Lock Haven, and Altoona.

[ParanormalWx]

6-10" looks good. Radar looks fine. Altho those t'storms seem to be moving due north, I'd be shocked if they make it this far north.

[Noreaster07]

latest RR shift NW

[LVblizzard]

HRRR/RUC continue to expand their precip shield to the NW.

[Noreaster07]

hrrr with a NW shift

[goombatommy]

Let's keep our fingers crossed fellas. It's going to be an interesting evening/night ahead of us.

[Big Jims Videos]

Eek, northern edge now eroding--we went from close to mod snow to just a light snow here @ my tv station in Moosic. Oh well!

[jdt]

This could be a real test of success for the RUC and more so the HRRR if they hold true. Current Radar says they have a chance but only time will tell. We will know the answer in the next 10 hours as it will be rapping up by then.

No matter how much it shifts, it still doesn't seem to change the outcome on this side of the Blue Mountain.

YEah...as much as it has sucked of late to be in the LV, I can't even imagine how you feel in the Coal Region.

[wederwarrior]

Ed Hanna just adjusted to 6-9" through the valley

3-6 just north

[LVblizzard]

The current radar looks amazing for the LV. Could we see thundersnow tonight?
