E PA/NJ/DE Spring 2026 Obs/Discussion
Physicsteve replied to PhiEaglesfan712's topic in Philadelphia Region
Was a pretty 95-centric winter, at least that’s how it seemed. I’m just northwest of Trenton and am sitting at ~44.5”, while my area’s average is 21. Hopefully next year continues the recent trend of better winters and everyone cashes in. Now bring on the 70s and 80s. Between the snow melt, rain, and warmth, we’re gonna be firing up those mowers in about a month. -

The second of those weeks could be our last trackable window, say 3/15-20. eta: fantasy land caveats apply -

Had a little sleet to start and now plain drizzle. Like Agnes, very light rates so far. -
E PA/NJ/DE Winter 2025-26 Obs/Discussion
Physicsteve replied to LVblizzard's topic in Philadelphia Region
Lol well yes Ill admit to being a sinning weenie. I like extremes which includes the heat and storms of summer which I understand you and many others despise. Locally I have to go A+ especially considering my weather 2011 onward. Region-wide though I think B grades are fair. Missed a couple of big dogs by the hair on our chinny-chin-chins and the snow event frequency could've improved with a few smaller events. We started the season with clippers reemerging as a path to some frequent refresher snow but that petered out, though obviously still a NS-dependent winter. Obs: sunny, fog is burning off, and birds are chirping -

Honestly think best case is cashing in snow-wise Monday like Euro AI shows, realizing most or all will be melted and washed away by the weekend. -

Hope that works out thermals-wise, though I am suspicious of a widespread all-snow event unless we get dynamics going for us again. Snow to rain has been modeled with this more than once. -

Physicsteve replied to LVblizzard's topic in Philadelphia Region
Im cool with snow until astronomical Spring. After that bring on the blooming, lighter clothes, and open car windows (thanks sun angle!). We’ve had a lot of Winters recently that have just been slightly cooler Springs, but this has felt like a wall-to-wall winter so whenever the change in season happens will be welcome this year. (Still hoping the western crew can at least get a consolation event to end things) -

Would think it'd start to show up on the mesos at this point and none are biting. Gfs seems to be on its own like the rgem was with the last system. -

Ended with something resembling an inch but no actual measuring occurred. Let’s end this awesome winter with a bang march 2/3. Maybe then even birds will go A+ while the rest of us add more pluses (plusses? Plusi) -

Been snowing since 5, maybe 1/4” otg with heavier returns on the doorstep as the finale. -

Physicsteve replied to Mikeymac5306's topic in Philadelphia Region
Overall the timing of the storm was probably near perfect regarding the heaviest stuff falling at night, even though in general @RedSkyis right daytime snow is preferred. Hopeful the hrrr’s that showed it throwing snow back over the area through morning were right and we can eek out another inch or more. -

Hearing the occasional crack and creak of trees in the distance. She’s a beaut, Clark (just wish it tracked more west for the whole forum) -

Woke up at 4 and think I just missed seeing the death band which has now moved just to my east. Still coming down good though and at 13.5” as of 430 eta amending total to 14” at 430 -

Looking forward to this upcoming band traveling nw through nj. And think im going to snowblow before getting a few hours of sleep. Thinking itll be too much to do all once tomorrow, especially being wet/cloggy snow. -

On the contrary xmas lights are kept up for just such an occasion. I have an issue with rain and my lights/fuses/gfci but snow doesnt seem to effect them thankfully -

Steady, blowing snow for the last 2 hours or so. Not much accumulation yet, would characterize it as further ground whitening. Should be a nice primer for the heavier stuff to pile up on. Driveway just starting to cave in spots. -

Can see the cloud tops popping as intensification is starting. May the odds ever be in your favor. Lfg -

Commencing day drinking to make it through and to the transition (never said it was easy). Plus the added benefit of early-to-bed early-to-rise like a weirdo freak in the middle of the night to watch the peak while normies sleep in their beds. -

Looks like the ‘eyewall’ is starting to clear out on that GOES image eta obs: light drizzle still with bursts of snow mixing in
