Philadelphia: 0.8”
 

Puts them at 23.2” for the season officially at the airport. Which is now an ABOVE average snow season.  Northeast airport is officially over 30” for the year...

12z 3km/reg NAM bumped snow line SE again, 3km almost has 3-4invhes in NE philly

HRR had 5.4 lol. 

Skies darkening rapidly in the city now. Very heavy returns just to the southwest. A wall of snow is encroaching on the city. Travel should quickly become challenging ...

Sterling just extended the WWA to Baltimore and DC proper. Will Mt holly follow and extend down to 95....   

Incredible conditions right now in northeast Philly. Baseball size snowflakes crashing down with some sleet. Never saw snow flakes this size before.  Quite the site.  90/10 Snow currently

Over a foot in Conshy! 3.5" on the driveway since I cleared it about 1.5 hours ago. Already over double what I expected with hopefully a whole day of snow/sleet to go. Really impressive storm here, looks like I must be right in the jackpot so far

Yep. Getting crushed.  Totals will range between 12-16” in that corridor 

7.1” now here. Snowing at an incredible rate again. Visibly a few hundred feet. Parts of the area going for 10-14” no doubt.  Reports out of eastern montco. approaching a foot already and heavy snow is continuing 

6.2” here. Amazingly still all snow. But lightest rates we’ve had all day. Moderate size flakes. 23f.

Crazy how a 10 minute drive is a difference in 3 inches. lol. That morning band was nuts. Radar starting to drift more N now. 

Yep. That band was incredible around 6 am. Heaviest  rates of the season here.  Parts of extreme lower bucks and eastern montco going to end up with 8-12”. If sleet holds off even more 

Half a foot now in far northeast Philly.  19116 Moderate snow now. Under that last heavy band did have some sleet but has gone back to all snow small flakes.

What?

4” here as well I. 19116.  Far northeast Philly. 

3” since 430... ... heavy snow continues.  For now......

I may be wrong but I think - at least based on the level 2 data, that the sleet line is WAY south!

You are Correct 

Sleet line still south of Dc. We have a chance to really thump this morning 

1.8”. In far northeast Philly. 19116.  Heavy snow continues to fall ... visibility down to a few hundred feet.  

Incredible snowfall rates occurring in this band. Just south of warminster to the very edge of northeast philly. 1-2” has fallen in the past 45 minutes

Wow! Still nothing here NE Airport, must be at my doorstep

We’re on the edge of that band. Lower bucks and eastern Montgomery-Lower are getting absolutely crushed. 2” rates. Incredible 

Heavy Snow in 19116.  .5” in 15 minutes.  Winds gusted to 30. Very intense start. Unexpected.

It’s more due to less qpf.  Shift south in qpf overall

No, Kphl has much more sleet on the 0z run. Qpf essentially unchanged.  Qpf field shrunk up north yes. But the snow reduction for the city is due to earlier sleet

Huh????

0z/18z

Just now, hazwoper said:

Perhaps living on the edge, but Philly ends up better in the end.  It’s a good run all things considered 

Compared to 18z it’s much less snow for philly due to sleet much earlier

City is close to trouble this run. Going the wrong way at this range.

NAM is racing the sleet line .. it’s the only model depicting it moving like this. But it’s now within range to be taken seriously ... living in the edge. Philly gets into some heavy precip could really boom or bust here.

Glenn's totals, snow/sleet as of 5:20pm and he mentioned "sun angle" for the weenies who don't believe it....

Getting snow in before dawn is key to offsetting sun angle. If we can lay done some cover early it makes a world of difference

Right there is sleet on the map, south of the mason dixon line, but not in phl, not at 18z

 

But to be fair, im not a huge fan of their maps, especially when its not all snow

Agreed.  This is The snow map off the NAM. NO sleet 

Just now, hazwoper said:

No it doesn't.  From PHL on north it only turns to sleet from 18Z onward.  The map he posted was total snow as of 18Z

Yes it does. It says it right in the map. *includes Sleet*. Come on guys.
