Light snow here for about the last half hour, once in a while it picks up a good bit, at the moment it's lighter. Down here at the kettle fire there's a dusting on some surfaces. The breeze did pick up a bit right before it started snowing - it felt like it was on the doorstep. Good stuff!

Hello neighbor! It sure came down quick between 1 am and 4 am! Over 3 inches now.

3.3 inches herein Chadds Ford Township, PA in far western Delaware County.

5 inches already between Qtown and Allentown?....Holy crap!

I'm worried about getting dry slotted here in the Delaware/Chester County area.

Bravo to NWS Mount Holly! They stuck their nose out when others we mocking their storm totals map and their WSWs.  Here in Chadds Ford Township, PA, I ended up with 5.3 inches, which was the biggest storm in two years..... since the 5 incher in late Jan 2022.

Oh ok.  I remember watching the game kinda ticked off because philly was getting all that snow and we got like 2" or something like that.

My cousin was having a baby shower in Shillington that day, which I was planning to attend. Shillington only saw around 2 inches but down my way in Chadds Ford, we saw 7 inches.  Roads were all shutdown from accidents and I couldn't go up  there because there were near whiteout conditions .

Is that the one during the Eagles game?

Nope. This one was in February, when the  Eagles usually don't play. The storm you are thinking about was the December 2013 event, which dropped 8 inches in South Philly. That was during the Eagles game. That came from an overrunning setup, vastly different from a Norlun trough setup. 

Attached is a great read of the Feb 3-4, 2009 event, which might be very similar to this one.

I actually made it above freezing today, with a high of 33 (when the sun briefly attempted to show through the clouds), a low of 19, and a dp as low as 5 earlier this morning.  I meant to tell RedSky that I "saw him" in the east around sunrise before it clouded over, so I knew something was on its way.

It's currently overcast and 30 with dp 19.

The 19z NBM seems to have the max accumulation right along the I-95 corridor.  I suppose a concern might be if a dry slot appears, which I recall happening with past Norlun setups (with one area under a death band and others with zippo).

I remember a Norlun trough in February of 2009 which setup over Philadelphia and Gloucester/Camden Counties. This sucker dropped up to 10 inches in the City of Philadelphia and up to a foot in Gloucester county. South of West Chester, where I live, only saw 4 inches. I think parts of Lancaster County (Manheim Twp.) got 12 inches in another very narrow band (10 miles  wide).

This is the my Final Call snow map that I made around noon today. 

Finally a storm that didn't bust for the Philly Metro.

A little over 1.5" here, grass is covered, hooray! And....

Nice looking pile!!!

Approaching 2 inches here in Chadds Ford, PA. I don't I have been on this page in two winters. Glad to be back. Glad winter is back!!!

Wrapping up here in Chadds Ford, PA. The total snowfall since yesterday morning was 5.7 inches.

Measured a new 1.7 inches since 12:30 AM in Chadds Ford. Storm total of a little over 4 inches, including the 1.2 Friday morning.

For official storm totals, should I add what I received Friday morning? I had 1.2 inches. If so, my storm total so far is 2.6 in Chadds Ford, PA.

Just measured a fresh inch, 2.9" storm total counting snow from earlier. Rates here have been varying between light and moderate, mostly light. Steady as she goes...

Slightly nerve racking due to the fact that, as modeled, we'll be pretty much on the left edge of the snow shield for the duration. But we are very much enjoying hanging on the porch and seeing it snow. Getting a little breezier bit by bit. Just had a bunch of deer stop by also. Nice Friday night!

Ditto here in Chadds Ford

Some of Glen Mills does have elevation. Glen Mills School sits at over 400 ft. I'm about a mile away and I'm down around 250 ft. It's pretty hilly around me. Not complaining -- I'll take what I can get! -- but I've always wondered about what process creates that variability in such a close range.

Very light snow at the moment and hanging right at 31F.

Chadds Ford Township is the same exact way.

Around 0.5 inch here in Chadds Ford, PA.

Heavy snow in Chadds Ford, PA. Accumulating on every surface except the driveway.

I like that it's random, although not totally random. There's probably a criteria for what gets a tag vs not.

How much did you get over in Concord Twp?

I measured 5.3 inches on my snow board, after clearing the board every few hours. The snow pack has compressed to 3-4 in. Chadds Ford Twp. Delaware County. I had a sleet pile of 16 inches on my driveway from the sleet bouncing off the roof.
