    I had snow on the ground for the whole month of February 2021. I think it was exactly 28 days though so should surpass it soon

    4th longest-lasting 5" snow pack ever recorded at PHL, but the top 3 all included refresher snows. Pretty memorable stretch of weather. Here in the city I think most everyone is ready for the sidewalks and streets to be clear again. I wouldn't mind a quick reset and then another solid storm, if for nothing else than to have a second chance to shovel all the areas in my neighborhood that it's become abundantly clear nobody else is ever going to shovel

    Crazy how used to the cold I’ve gotten. Wind chill of 0 this morning felt totally fine. At this rate I’ll be in shorts when we hit 40

    NBM throws a few inches back towards Philly on Sunday and has most of South Jersey with over 6" I do think we likely end up with something here, Lehigh Valley might be out of luck but Philly and immediate burbs have a decent chance

    Can confirm the Skook is frozen in Philly and looks very cool

    13/30 GFS ensemble members were a big hit for SEPA. think this is kind of an all or nothing deal with the complex dynamics, although it is possible we could pick up a couple fluffy inches in some of the OTS scenarios. random question but any chance we get dry enough for some of the existing snowpack to sublimate this week?

    City was handing out fines at 10 o'clock this morning for unshoveled sidewalks but they also haven't plowed half the streets in my neighborhood

    The Carolina Crusher invoked! I lived in Raleigh, NC at the time and that Jan 25, 2000 storm was one of the biggest forecasting fails of all time. Local mets called for 1-3" and we got 20 as the low bombed off the Outer Banks and just kept throwing moisture back over the NC piedmont

    All done here. 7.5” snow plus almost 3” of sleet. No ZR at all and definitely no plain rain. High temp (so far) was 26
  10. Chadzachadam
    Still all sleet here, no glaze on anything. Almost at 10” total, if this was all snow it would’ve been 18” or so
  11. Chadzachadam
    Your measurement feels super low? I’m at 9”+ total here and don’t think I’m that far from you and the airport reported 7” a couple hours ago I believe
  12. Chadzachadam
    Sleet line holding pretty strong to our south and west. Hope it stays that way and we never flip to ZR
  13. Chadzachadam
    Light sleet now. 7.5” snow plus 1.5” sleet, still a chance for double digits
  14. Chadzachadam
    NAM nailed the warm nose but was not even close with modeling precip in the initial thump. last NAM snow maps I saw had Philly at 4.5" total snow and sleet and like 0.65 liquid equivalent which was way too low and dry
  15. Chadzachadam
    apparently there was some thunderZR at 27F near Charlotte. heavy sleet here in NW Philly, currently 19F. still some huge disagreement on how high the temps get this evening, I've seen everything from 24 to 35 in various models/forecasts...we'll see what verifies
  16. Chadzachadam
    I don’t know how anyone reliably measures sleet but looks like over 0.5” to me. It’s been pretty heavy at times. Sleet and snow total ~8 so far
  17. Chadzachadam
    Sleet now in NW Philly. Looks like 7.5 or 8” which is good enough for me. Could’ve been historic but the thump delivered
  18. Chadzachadam
    5.2” in NW Philly. Even another couple hours of this and we hit or exceed expectations. Still not buying ZR or plain rain getting up this far, sleet line is coming north but the ZR and 32F lines are not
  19. Chadzachadam
    The NAM had snow starting in about 15 minutes. No wonder totals were so low on there, it forgot about like 5 hours of snow!
  20. Chadzachadam
    3.5” in NW Philly. Looks very different from previous storms with basically nothing on the trees. Seems from other threads like the sleet line is coming quick but that sleet is holding on strong and not changing to ZR as fast as modeled. Most of NC and SC still primarily sleet
  21. Chadzachadam
    Reports of snow in Raleigh and sleet in Blacksburg VA which doesn’t make much sense to me
  22. Chadzachadam
    From what I can gather, snow/sleet line is south of what most models had so far. Some unexpected dry slotting in OK/AR might have them bust low. KS and MO likely to exceed expectations. Initial precip a little earlier than anticipated on the TN valley. So kind of a mixed bag overall
  23. Chadzachadam
    I agree with some folks on the MA forum re: the NAM—I buy the warm nose but I don’t buy the super dry/slow start to the storm. 5 or 6” is the absolute worst case scenario imo. Maybe irrelevant but much of the Midwest seems to be hitting the top end of their snow predictions so far. If we wrung 4” of snow out of last Sunday surely we can double that in a much colder, much wetter, and longer-duration storm
  24. Chadzachadam
    I’ve seen a lot of 4-6” though which feels crazy low. We got that last weekend
  25. Chadzachadam
    Man everyone on here going against Mt Holly…I don’t doubt the warm nose but even if we change over by noon tomorrow that’s like 6-8 hours of snow first, some of which should be quite heavy. And rates from 11-2ish might be high enough to keep us snow for a bit longer as well, should be the height of the precip
