    Definitely getting concerned for SE Mont/NE Philly. That thing is strengthening with increasing lightning.

    Made it to down to 21F this morning. Hopefully this is the last night below 32. I’m ready to de-winterize the pop up

    I’m excited to say that I officially have the WS-5000! Turns out my wife got it for my birthday, haha (she reached out to a friend of mine in the met field who suggested it). Seems to be working pretty well despite not being in a great location. I plan on building a more permanent location in my backyard once the snow melts away.

    From my experience in the field, I doubt you would get consideration without a Met degree. Iceman is right, you would have to start your own company. Even doing that, it’d be suggested to have someone with a Met degree on board to make your company more “legit”.

    A very meh event for the LV. The QPF doesn’t seem to be there. I’ve been pretty conservative in my thinking for this area. I was thinking 4-8” this afternoon but after looking at the latest, 3-6” is probably better.

    27.6” total for my final measurement. Snowed for basically 53 hours. Crazy length but tbh not the best in terms of prolonged rates.

    26.3” in Hellertown as of 7 AM. Could we actually have a shot at 30”?! Hrrr says yes. Let’s do it!

    24.1” in Hellertown. Made it to two feet at last! For me, this is the largest snowstorm that I’ve measured. Unfortunately, I wasn’t at home for the 2016 blizzard, so I never had a chance to measure that beast. I didn’t live in PA in ‘96, and all the other blizzard I’ve gone through never made it to two feet. What a storm! (but ongoing!)

    I’d think 3-6” is reasonable

    20.9”. Still have my sights on 24”. Afternoon mix with sleet and heaviest axis of snow just off to my NW in the last couple of hours has delayed getting to that number a bit. Still though, definitely overperforming compared to expectations.

    Living on the edge.

    Mostly back to snow in Hellertown. Some pinging still. Damn this pocket of warmer air, haha. Up to 18.8”. Thinking 24” is definitely obtainable.
  13. MPotter_WX
    Damn warm pocket aloft is killing me. Snow/sleet mix. Really can’t complain though. You guys had it rough south
  14. MPotter_WX
    Weirdest thing ever in the middle of this band. Visibility has gone all the way up to 1-1.5 miles.
  15. MPotter_WX
    Largest flakes of my life right now. These guys are 2” wide!
  16. MPotter_WX
    Haha my bad. Meant snow
  17. MPotter_WX
    It basically stopped at my house. I’ve that occasional pinging against my house but the heavy snow continues. HUGE dendrites!
  18. MPotter_WX
    The warm air aloft is basically eroding in place as the colder air takes over. Everyone in SE PA will go to snow in the next hour or two. Keep the faith!
  19. MPotter_WX
    I just heard some pinging in Hellertown. But it’s still really heavy snow. It’s trying but praying this mixing line deteriorates.
  20. MPotter_WX
    15.4” in Hellertown. 0.1 mile visibility. Doesn’t get better than this! That CC is scaring me. Why is it so close to the LV?!
  21. MPotter_WX
    Rates have diminished here in Hellertown. Only 1” per hour. Haha. Still have 9 hours of this good stuff
  22. MPotter_WX
    It’s great isn’t?! Picked up 0.75” in 15 min. 3” per hour verified.
  23. MPotter_WX
    11.9” 4.5” since 730a. Much of that in last two hours
  24. MPotter_WX
    I’m on the edge of this and it is really something! Wonder what it’s going to be like under the orange DBZ!
  25. MPotter_WX
    Just turned to snow here. Here we go!
