January 18th Back Door NW Trend Snow OBS Thread
Chadzachadam replied to Mikeymac5306's topic in Philadelphia Region
Just under 2” in Medford, I’m guessing around 3” back home based on pictures and other reports -

Up to a half inch in Medford, maybe we can still catch up to Philly and make it worth the trip to the in-laws’ house -

Light snow now in South Jersey, maybe still some rain mixed in -

Still just wet here in Medford as well. I’d be shocked if those higher totals towards the coast verify -

At the in-laws in Medford, NJ and it’s all rain here. Hope it flips soon because it’s definitely snowing at home :/ -

Tapering off we’ll call it 0.75” here. 8” for the season -

Turned from graupel to snow and it’s sticking for real now, all surfaces covered and pushing maybe half an inch in colder spots -

Temps in Philly are a little too warm for much stickage. Looks like all frozen precip but it’s melting faster than it can accumulate for the most part. Hope we can get a couple inches tomorrow -

Moderate dippin dots in nw Philly. Never seen the driveway covered before the deck but that’s the case right now -

long way away but the globals all seem to like Jan 24-28 for a few chances at a significant snowstorm -
Boxing Night Snow/Sleet/Ice Dec 26-27 Storm Thread/Obs.
Chadzachadam replied to Mikeymac5306's topic in Philadelphia Region
If I’ve learned anything about this type of storm it’s that the warm nose is always stronger/faster than progged. Maybe 1/4” of snow then sleet sleet sleet and some glaze is my forecast for Philly. Maybe an inch total. Best of luck to all -

The cold really caught me off guard this morning after it was pretty pleasant yesterday afternoon. Wind chill of 12 on a cloudy day is pretty brutal. Also on the topic of recent winter snowfall performances, 2020-2021 was well above average for a lot of people in this thread. I lived in Conshy at the time and we had 4' but I think the cutoff was pretty sharp from NW to SE -

Thanks for asking, it went well! There was some light rain during the ceremony but we had enough umbrellas to go around and since we didn’t care everyone followed our lead and wasn’t upset or concerned about it. Wasn’t super prepared to be holding an umbrella myself during the ceremony but it’s all good -

Really piling up out there. Almost at a dusting -

The trend is my friend for Sunday! Looks like models are converging on the strung out euro solution. Euro AI and Ukie most consistently showed this and never really got on board with a full phase -
The return of the elusive Nor'easter. Drought buster or bust?
Chadzachadam replied to dailylurker's topic in Mid Atlantic
Kind of wild how different the models are only ~48 hours out. gfs west, ukie and euro way east, nam and icon kind of in the middle -

Agreed, certainly some ways this can either fail completely (out to sea), or at least not really phase until Monday. Even if the complicated setup does come together, Miller Bs usually come in with ULL precip earlier than progged and then dry slot for what feels like forever until the coastal gets cranking. Getting that dry slot Sunday afternoon-evening would be lovely lol -

Euro and Euro AI are slower and further east with the coastal. GFS and ICON faster and further west. Euro AI has been pretty consistent with keeping this east and would be another big win for that model if it verifies (if I recall correctly it also did the best with the slow progression of Imelda which led to it curving out to sea rather than into the SE coast) -

We do have a tent (with zippers on the sides) for the reception but might just have to ask everyone to bring umbrellas for the ceremony. That part should be quick though so just 20 minutes without rain between 4:25 and 4:45 is all I ask There is still quite a bit of spread on the model guidance, with the AI models keeping us dry through midnight Monday and the operational models trending towards a lot of rain, especially the ICON which has been pretty consistent with bringing 2-4+" into the Philly metro. Seems like a lot of moving pieces that need to all be timed pretty perfectly for the serious rain totals and that hasn't worked out for us recently, but that doesn't mean it won't work out this time (and it probably will since this is the one time I don't want it to)! I will note that local NWS discussions and meteorologists seem a lot less bullish on the rain potential than the national ones, which could be hint, or maybe they'll adjust upwards in the coming days. -

Getting married outside in Philly on Sunday so watching this closely. There probably hasn't been a coastal system that broke through the ridge and made it this far north since we started planning the wedding ~15 months ago, would be remarkably bad timing for it to happen this weekend but the models do hint at the ridge drifting east and weakening for a couple days allowing the low to come up the coast and then sort of hang out for a few days as the ridge tries to build back -

Euro 12Z trying to do something Sandy-like next weekend -
Yep, long way away but multiple models have Imelda or its remnants somewhere along the East Coast until like 10/10
