Great information Stephen, thank you for sharing the QPF amount in particular. Had the 2" of QPF that was being advertised a few days ago come to fruition, snow and ice amounts would have been close to what was expected.

We talk about that in here a good bit. Things got way out of whack in respect to historical climatology along the I-95 corridor over the past 10-15 years, and it really spoiled a lot of people, especially younger ones who I believed that they assumed what was happening was "normal". Entitlement. Sort of understandable, but they really needed a bit of a reality check. On the flip side, they had a dreadful year last year, so add that in and they're starving. Even here in Lancaster, our climate history suggests double digit snows come about once or twice a decade. I've had double digit snows 8 times in the past 11 years. I appreciated this storm because I know that it's not normal nor should it be expected.

Thanks! I was chatting back and forth with you a couple of years ago. My wife was in Boone during the big December storm you good folks had, and you and a few others were extremely helpful providing tips on timing, routes, etc. If I remember correctly, you ended up somewhere around 18-19" from that storm, correct? I think that was 2018. (2017?)

Agree. I'm shocked that I ended up with more than you. It simply came down to banding.

Officially the 3rd largest storm on record in Lancaster at 10".

Final total was 10.8". 9.7" of that was snow. Congrats to all of us! Great storm...

Heavy snow, 2" new, 9.4" total. Going to hit double digits.

I had 1.1" of sleet here.

Back to snow here with just a few pingers. Snow/sleet total is 7.4"...hoping to end up in the 10-12" range.

Hey - you deserve this!

Moderate sleet here. I'm loving the living heck out of this.

If only...

Euro likes the LSV for a nice 4-6" thump later tonight.

29.8 with a light sleet/freezing rain mix here.

Dry slot is here. Temp up to 30.

You're 6 miles up the road from me. I had 6.3" at the time of changeover. I'm hoping for 2-4" more later tonight.

It's happened before...

Holy crap is this some heavy sleet. Temp up to 28.

Hey neighbor! Welcome back...

I was at 6.3" at the time of full transition.

Hey! There is a separate thread where we are all posting observations just for this storm. It's good to see you back posting - I remember you from a few years ago.

Right on cue it's 100% pingers.

I'm down to about 25% snow... I'm over 6", so a couple inches of sleet and then hopefully a few/several more inches of snow and I'm approaching 1' total.

Yes, agreed. And we have enough now that with a few hours of sleet, we're going to have a white landscape for some time. It's a 50/50 mix now.

This band will be exiting stage north shortly and once we lose these insane rates...we're probably playing table tennis.
