I'm supposed to leave next Friday to go drive down and see my grandparents in upstate South Carolina. I'd wager this may actually be the Mid Atlantic's best shot at a big snowstorm all year based on that fact alone. I always attract bad weather when traveling...
-
Mod snow on my way into Trenton this morning, roads were all covered. Has since lightened up to snow TV. Still pretty outside though.
-
Going to get really slick tonight. Was light freezing rain the whole way back to Hopewell. "Only" 4" up here, some was likely lost to compaction though.
-
That's usually the good luck charm, Ralph downplays/lowers expectations right before the start and then gets slammed. Happened with the super bowl storm too. I hope he does it more often
-
If you're looking for a good laugh check out the mid atlantic banter thread... my only comment is Thank God for sub-forums so that we are not subjected to some of those personalities. Really makes me thankful for the crew we have here.. very chill and low/no drama.

I think tonight will be a nice topper to cover up the sleet layer. I bet most places see at least a coating but it looks to me based on guidance an addition inch or 2 seems likely from PHL north. N and W areas definitely seem favored though for it, we'll see. We are back to light sleet here, and now freezing rain. Glaze on all untreated surfaces, almost wiped out on the area I shoveled. Temp is up to 28F.

Precip has stopped here in Levittown, 7.5" final for now here. Over performer for sure! Anyone in the Hopewell/Pennington area have any reports? I'm curious how we did up there.
-
Just changed back over to 90% heavy snow in levittown.
-
Yeah but the WAA snows way overperformed to make up for it. We were all sleet in levittown 30 mins ago but not have changed back to 50/50 snow sleet. The sleet is accumulating quickly too. Up to 7" in Levittown. Curious how I'm doing up in Hopewell. My guess is 4-5". Haven't set up a webcam to my snowboard like ray yet.... That's next year's project
-
Super weird , I thought we were flipping, but it just went back to big fat flakes. Very unusual for levittown to be snow and nw to be sleet. Officially measured 6.5 here.
-
Just got to Levittown, easily 7-8" here, haven't officially measured yet but back to dumping all snow after a period of 50/50 snow sleet. Unbelievable storm!
-
Still doing some things at the office keep getting distracted for some reason... Should be over there though in the next hour or so
-
We've gone over to graupel here in Trenton. Poor snow growth at the moment but still coming down at a decent rate.
-
Heavy stuff should continue until 1-2 pm but then coastal will take over and more light precip will develop this afternoon into tonight. Still a long ways to go!
-
Sleet line looks nearly stationary on the mason dixon line based on the CC radar. Waffling back an forth around chester it looks like. Great to see.
-
Heaviest snow of the storm in Trenton. Huge clumps falling from the sky, easy 1-2" hour rates. Temp at 23f.
-
Yeah be careful, the powdery snow combined with the little bit of graupel and temps in the low 20s... Things are slippery for sure but luckily I have a jeep. Safe travels man.
-
Drove to Trenton to grab something from the office I forgot yesterday Route 31 was mostly wet, little bit of slush, but overall very manageable. Once you get into trenton though... What a disaster. Looks to be about 4-5" here. Heavy snow. Next stop Lower Makefield.
-
Sounds like bensalem/langhorne/bristol area are the early winners right now. Maybe an outside shot at a foot if things continue as they are?
-
The fatties have begun flying in Hopewell. Very picturesque. 22F.
-
Crazy gradient so far, I'm about 10 miles north and have half of that. That band to the south is really producing! Also, appears people are seeing higher than 10:1 ratios.
-
CC shows the sleet line being beaten back south down towards the pa/de border the last few frames. Interesting.
-
Wow!! May have to take a trip down to lower bucks. My brother in lower makefield said he's getting raked and has over 3" so far. Best banding has been south of me so far in Hopewell, only about an inch here.

Finding it difficult to sleep tonight, I guess it's the pre-storm jitters anyway down to 20 degrees in my backyard. Starting to cloud up now from what I could tell when I stepped outside for a smoke.
