Anyone know WHY they moved the all the weather sensors from the castle to a thicket? Just don't understand why they would have moved them and screwed up a VERY long period of record. Makes no sense.

I guess we're all always in search of the elusive KU / NESDIS Cat. 5 snowstorm ! Gotta believe.

Thanks! We back up to the Berkshire Valley Wildlife Management Area. It is very quiet and peaceful. Sometimes if the atmospheric conditions are right we can hear the hum of Rt. 80 but in NJ hard to get away from all road noise no matter where you go. Bear, deer, fox and sometimes wild turkeys wander through the backyard.

Finished up with 2.8" here. Had about .70" crusty crap when I went to bed at around 11:15 but radar had filled in nicely and I was expecting 1-2" additional based on that. Fell just short of the low end of my forecast of 3-6". Melted total was exactly .5" and that was right in line with the model consensus. Was thinking .4 - .6". I knew we were in trouble very early on with sleet all through EPA, including Scranton and most of western NJ starting out as mostly sleet. No matter it looks nice out there this morning. My street is a mess from the sleet being covered by snow and temperatures in the upper teens. Kind of an ice sheet even with salting. Compressed sleet in cold temperatures covered by snow never a good thing.

I'm under some of those instability type echoes moving s.e. from NE PA. Steady light snow and 20 degrees atm. Based on radar it is possible I can pull off another 1 to MAYBE 2" as these bursts of snow move through over the next few hours. Anything that falls from now until the end will be snow. Radar has filled in nicely over NEPA.

A crusty .5” mixture of snow and sleet here. Very light snow / sleet falling and 19 degrees currently.

Thanks Don. Great pic.

Same here. Was going 3-6" here as well. Thought 3" was pretty much a lock. The 6" was going to be a reach but I thought 3-6" covered the range of reasonable possibilities.

Still mostly sleet (light) here atm. Temp fell from 20 to 18.

Per mPING lots of reports of mixed by BGM

20.3 degrees and mostly sleet here.

Steady light snow here but there is sleet mixed in. Ground is lightly coated.

Yes. We'll see if indeed that happens. That is why I mentioned to give it a couple of hours.

Same here at the moment. VERY LIGHT snow started about 10 minutes ago. More snow grains than anything.

Lets give it a couple of hours to see what happens but I agree surprised parts of Warren County NJ and Stroudsburg, PA area are mixed at the moment.

Per mPING mixed precip or sleet over EPA from about Stroudsburg south to about Landsdale area in PA. Even mixed precip over parts of Warren County NJ.

I've had robust radar echos passing overhead for about an hour. Not a flake to be seen. Air is DRY. Should be seeing some flakes start within the next 30 minutes I would think.

Going to be fun to start now casting this in about 4 hours. Really am interested to watch this unfold.

Think the AVERAGE will be 10 to 11:1. Will start higher and end perhaps a little lower than 10:1.

Pretty broad ranges but I think most places will fall into those ranges.

I could be wrong but I disagree. Don't see that much QPF to generate 10".

I realize that but I still don't see 10" for this sub forum. We'll know for sure in about 18 hours.
