    I think this is panning out exactly how models dictated, namely the GFS. Mixing was always going to come right up into Philadelphia, it was so weird that many people and the local news ignored that. Anyways, maybe 3" total one mile from PHL, some sort of sleet precip falling. Some of the crazier numbers of 8-16 were never going to happen here, was kind of weird NWS would say that. Probably still a 4-8 or 5-10 situation which is still significant.

    I'm in SJ - Haddonfield area - and we had 3" of snow last night when we shoveled before bed. I was supposed to wake up to a lot more snow, but it looks like only a 1/2" of sleet. As long as we get snow for half of the remainder of the storm we should be much closer to 8" than 4", imho.

    For the record, I am not an amateur meteorologist like most on this site, I just like reading what everyone thinks about the models and I love how excited everyone gets for a proper storm.

    Temp is 33 but the wind is making it feel murderously cold.

    People..I can’t say this again.

    always discount the model that gives your street the least amount of snow. Ride hard the snowiest models.

    As someone who lives in NJ right across from Philly, I fully support this recommendation. Thank you for your wise words.

  3. Can someone tell me if the overnight forecast for PHL and just across the river into NJ has changed significantly in the last 2 hours?
    I've got one browser tab (accuweather) telling me the overnight high is 35 and it'll be snowing from 1-6am. Weather.com is steadfast that it will go up to 41 and be raining from 10pm till 3am. Then snow from 4-6am. Mount Holly at weather.gov is saying sleet then rain.

    Thoughts? 

  4. According to the clicking sounds on the windows, Haddonfield, NJ has switched over to sleet.

    I just ran outside and measured 5.25" of snow on the picnic table. Much better than I was expecting after my hopes and dreams were destroyed by the shifting forecast.
    (I still reserve the right to be crabby when it all gets washed away by rain, though.)

    Glenn's 4pm snow map. Honestly I don't what we may be bitching about? Compared to last year this is gold...

    We’re bitching because 2020 has totally sucked and we got excited for a proper blizzard and now we’re getting 3-6 which will be downgraded to 2-4 by tomorrow morning and then probably end up just sleet and rain.
