First flakes

29 light snow here

Already up to 29.5. I have zero faith in the ability of my locale to stave off the ocean.

I just saw that on traffic cams in the area between Allentown and Reading. Precip looks like a mix of snow and sleet in that area. I have a snow/sleet mix here (Bethlehem Twp.) after a brief transition to sleet. Surface temps are going nowhere (29/27). Roads will be quite nasty.

Nice band overhead.

first flakes beginning to fall, albeit small and not many

Going on gut 7 inches today in my yard.

84 looks to be the actual dividing line this time around 26 here w/ moderate snow falling

Yeah no disagreement there...I was just more curious as to where this race is occurring more quickly right now...like where that cutoff is. I could probably pull up radarscope and look for melting layers like Scott referenced. Mesoanalysis is actually not very useful for these warming situations, especially when the warming is in between layers.

I think Dick Albert retired. Edit: RIP

26 w/ moderate snow coating on all surfaces

Nice snow map on the HRRR (I'm the red dot)

3.5" for me.

Ripping heavy finally Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

I added to that....in this situation, I agree with Scott's sentiment to Kevin there - it's a bit of a race. The low is moving well S of LI down there. When it gets roughly to HFD's longitude, the flow will begin to torque around and come more E than S...then, NE and end N... At some point during that rotation, the warm simply won't be able to get farther NW.

Roads are awful. Drove from West Hanover Township (by CD High) to Penn State Nyes Road and back between 8 and 9 this morning. Took 22 because I thought it would be better than Jonestown Road. 22 was actually worse than the side streets. Someone was stuck going up the hill on Piketown/Blue Ridge right after you pass under 81 going toward 22.

Hrrr was way too warm until just now lol

Huge flakes now. It’s ripping pretty good. That is a scientific weather term.

Figures I’d leave for work and it changes back to snow

Light snow here, dusting so far. Would be shocked if we scrape out an inch before changing over.

It’s usually wrong! But fun to look when digital snow is the only snow we get down here

Funny you say this because I've been thinking the same thing. If we had better positioned highs with these setups, we would see suppressed storms or really strung out garbage in which the northern shield of the precipitation shield gets eroded away with drier air draining in. For HP positioned to our north, we want that when systems are coming up the coast, probably not advancing WNW out of the deep south.

^what he said

It is definitely solid:

Had to leave Fallston for downtown at 6:30 - was 35 and rain - but car had a full glaze of ice on it - so I guess freezing rain to start is what I will record for an obs for the day.
