I was out metal detecting about 11:30 and got hit with a heavy sleet/windstorm. Lasted about 10 minutes. It was wicked, just like an afternoon thunderstorm on a summer day except cold!

55.8 high today with .99 inch of rain. 1.43 since yesterday afternoon. Had a brief thunderstorm earlier this morning. 

I'd say we got about 3 inches in Bushkill Township (Nazareth). 

Holy crap. I can't believe some of these totals.

According to a trained spotter, we got 11" in Bushkill Township (Nazareth). Snow is over. Time for cleanup.

Winter Storm watch posted out here in Berks, 2-4” likely be converted to a WWA Tomorrow evening 

Was out metal detecting and my phone started blowing up. To my surprise, a watch for 4-8 inches in Northampton County.

1 inch or so in Nazareth area. 22F light snow.

At 8:22PM NWS issued a WSW for Lehigh and Northampton counties. Here at 9PM, a look at radar indicates we are into freezing rain, then rain @32F. Looks to be over by 11PM.

They should put up Winter Storm Warnings for Lehigh and Northampton Counties.  Well over half a foot up near Nazareth and still pounding.

Crazy, how things can be so different over just a mile or so. I'm just Northwest in Bushkill Township. Have had rain since about 7:45. Lucky if we have 4 inches. I can still see my septic lid in the back yard. It's about 5 inches off ground level. Just about 32F here. Snow is sliding off the hood of the cars. 

Snow started about 1PM. Spent most of the day since the snow began about 25F. Now up to 30F.  Maybe about three inches so far.

Nazareth an hour ago...

Driving on Route 512 this morning about 10 AM. Snow came to a screeching halt about 11:30. I'd be surprised if we had more than about 3 inches. 

Snowing now in Nazareth. Coming down pretty good at the moment.

Didn't think I'd get a shot like this till next year.

This was a nice show. Couldn't ask for a better way to end the season, if it's the end. Public Information Statement for Northampton County:

Can't wait till the flurries stop so I can get the drone out and get some footage from 300ft.

At least there is still some snow on the ground after 2.39 inches of rain.

2.39 Inches total with light drizzle. 36F

2.13 inches of rain so far. Back to 38F, shot up to 51F about 4AM.

Taken about 5PM.

Light snow since about 4PM. Began coming down a little heavier about 4:45. Road in front of the house is covering nicely for a heavily traveled road. Temp 26F.

Sat at 38F at 6PM. Dropped to 33F now at 7:37PM.

I had 6F this morning at 5:30 AM with a slight breeze. As of 8:42 AM, temp is up to a whopping 11F. Still just a slight breeze.  

up to 30F here now. Ice is melting on the cars and driveway.

Light sleet and freezing rain in Nazareth. Temp has been hovering between 26-28F all day. Light wind, DP 26.7, RH 95%. Roads here are ice covered, at least about 700 ft elevation. 

1.10 total yesterday. .53 so far today. Looks like it'll hang around for a while yet.
