Rain has arrived well ahead of schedule in Philly, which might diminish the severe threat since I don't expect to see much more sun or make a run at 80 given the radar

Winter holding on for dear life. Still haven’t made it out of the 40s this week…maybe this evening

Dec 14: 6" Dec 23: 0.3" Dec 26: 0.5" Jan 1: 0.5" Jan 17: 0.8" Jan 18: 3.5" Jan 25: 10" Feb 15: 0.1" Feb 22-23: 17" Total 38.7" for the season, by far the most I've recorded in my current spot but got ~4 ft in Conshy in 2020-21

I actually think 20" in Philly will be about right, at least if measured properly (clearing snow board every couple hours). but on the ground total will probably be more like 14 or 15"

Basically a perfect storm here: 1) started as rain to wash away any annoying salt 2) wet snow stuck on all the trees 3) winds were light so not many trees/branches down 4) roads are already rapidly improving, 32F with sun peeking through still light snow here, final total will probably be around 18" but hard to be totally certain because there was lots of compaction

NW Philly 12.5" but the places where I cleared 6-7 inches last night have over 10 so technically more like 17" without compaction. I imagine Center City got more based on radar

6.5” in NW Philly. Pretty peaceful out, no blizzard here yet and temps must still be pretty marginal because there’s only 2.5” on the untreated road. Easy shoveling too, nice and fluffy and comes up in big clumps

Yea it’s ripping now. Heavy snow and 31F, looks windy out. Right around an inch

In an area of lighter returns right now in NW Philly. Road is just wet but everything else is covered, not quite off to the races just yet. side note I think models being a little unreliable is part of the fun of all of this. second side note, why do we get 1”/hour rates of rain fairly regularly in a thunderstorm but never 10”/hour snowfall? I’m sticking with yesterday morning’s guess here, 14-18” but I do think I’m more likely to be too high than too low at this point

LV may get fringed but philly area still in a great spot imo. This happened last storm too where day of everyone on here suddenly got super pessimistic. Trust the experts, could be a top 10 storm in Philly

was curious about it being called a Miller B. doesn't really look like a B to my eye, seems like the southern wave digs down into NC whereas B would mean it originates in the Ohio Valley right?

Pleasant morning outside, hard to really fathom what’s coming. My guess at this point is 14-18” for Philly but can’t rule out 2+ feet

0z GFS verbatim would be the third largest Philly snowfall of all time. And the last storm was handled very poorly

1. I think I have less than an inch of snow on weekdays this winter 2. I thought I wanted the GFS to be right and sorry to be blasphemous but idk if I genuinely want 2 feet of wet snow with 40mph winds lol. Would be the biggest storm I’ve ever seen which would be cool but not sure this city is equipped to handle that much snow

obviously nitpicking if we get a bomb like the NAM is showing, but I don't really understand why kuchera would show more snow than standard 10:1 in this setup. temps are pretty marginal especially to start so I would think we'd be looking at more like 9:1 which I thought kuchera was supposed to account for. anyway crazy run regardless lol
