Those inch to inch and a half measurements around this area look spot on to me. Definitely makes for an easier morning.

Your area has been warmer than the coast all day. Kind of like April and May

I believe he's suffering from low albedo based on all the symptoms and anger he's exhibiting here.

Well, we did it.

Warming up nicely here as well!

About 4” here. Pretty morning with a deep winter vibe. Looking forward to feeling 50+ today for the high! Yesterday before the snow started and then first thing this morning.

We're watching the poor guy's deep well of optimism be cannibalized by Stein and run dry in real time. Sad.

Uh... @weatherwiz?? https://6abc.com/post/pennsylvania-man-set-fires-kill-spiders-igniting-blaze-damaged-homes-police/18646148/

Wow! That was a crazy fire. Headline said two hurt, which if true and the only injuries, is amazing considering the inferno there.

We had a SWS this morning until 10am for heavy-ish snow during the morning commute which did seem to take place. Stake is showing about right on 1" new from it here.

Thank you for taking the time to put this together, I appreciate it.

Are the primary drivers for the similarities in areas hit and amounts dropped (in 1978 and 2026) largely due to the intensity of the storm and it's positioning? I understand 1978 stalled out and snowed over a longer period of time but am mostly curious about the how/why those intense bands just continued to clobber that SEMA and PVD area specifically in both instances.

My unofficial stake showed a total increase of 3” from start to finish. Seems pretty disingenuous though as it plowed more like 6-8”. The drifting, existing snow and density made it feel like a decent amount.

Fixed your post. You're welcome
