well we actually got a passing shower in NW Philly (and a few serious wind gusts), which I believe technically brings us to 9 consecutive days with rain, although today's was not measurable

2.6” since Wednesday. Maybe another quarter inch tomorrow. Looks lush out there

4 day total 1.5” so far

got about 0.40" here yesterday, the sky never really opened up like it threatened to... until today, as we have had a couple legitimate downpours in the last hour or two. steady rain now, approaching 1.00" over the last 24 hours

I'm not saying that it accumulated but we were under a squall that was frozen precip, bouncing off the cars, much too small/atmospherically stable for hail. so yes, it was sleeting heavily and I don't think that's all that historic

heavy sleet in NW Philly (:

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
