I'll cut off my O/T banter but yeah, there's already been Leach's Storm Petrels reported from Lewes, DE and Eastchester Bay (NY). Decent sign that this storm could bring in some interesting rarities along the coast -- MAYBE inland if the pieces fall into place.

For our birdbrains here: not expecting an epic Sandy-like fallout of seabirds or unusual migrants (we typically need winds pushing east from the ocean). HST, shorelines from Rehoboth up through New England will almost certainly see some oddball things over the next 48 hours. Even inland lakes and rivers may cash in to some degree. Would LOVE to be at Indian River Inlet or Henlopen for this one.

Gradient for this storm will certainly be one to remember. I'd imagine the NE Philly suburbs seeing almost twice as much powder vs. the SW suburbs is something that doesn't happen very often.

Just went out and shoveled a bit of the front walkway to test how easy it'll be. Snow is relatively powdery -- there's a lot of it -- but definitely preferred over a thick ice cake that you have to break through.

Morning ladies and gents. Around 11.0-11.5" here in Glen Mills. Lost power briefly twice last night.

Ah, thank you! Didn't even look at my gauge, just estimated from the amount that's piled up on the railing of the porch.

At least 6" here in Glen Mills. Looks like a decent band may be coming through.

Yeah I just walked outside drop something off in the mailbox. Almost wiped out because of that wet slick layer under the new powdery stuff. That's enough outdoors for me today lol.

Around 2" here in Glen Mills (about fifteen minutes southeast from West Chester)

Oy, that's gonna be fun to shovel. Though I'll take over snow cake with a nice two-inch layer of sleet icing on top.

Already about an inch here in extreme SEPA, snow dumping right now. At this point expecting a minimum eight, but wouldn't be shocked if we crest a foot at this rate.

Just changed over. Let the show begin!

Still no changeover, but wind really started kicking up here.

That's where I'm at. Much better than 40 degrees and pouring cold chilling winter rain.

I was about to say but didn't bc I'm new here. Just kinda annoying having to scroll through that garbled mess on mobile every time it's quoted (though it's totally not RNT's fault!) Holding steady here in SEPA at around 35* with light mist.
