Dang! I want what y'all been getting. My 1/4 mile marker still clearly visible. Hopefully soon!

Squall warning expired. Seemed a bit much at least for me. Never dropped below 1/4 mile. About 3/8 right now.

Posted by one of the mets in the MA forum. I vote let's just go with this and close the thread from further discussion.

A lot of you guys are very impressive in terms of weather prediction skills. And I'd imagine most are self taught which is even more impressive. I did 2 years of Meteorology at Millersville before switching majors (Barry Walton era - yikes) and we would draw isobars and isotherms by hand (double yikes). Always interested in weather but some of you really take it to the next level. And yes, a meeting would be fantastic.

Crazy reading the last page or 2 how close so many of us are geographically yet experience such different results this time of year. Whenever covid eases, we should have a gathering. I can only imagine how different most of us are in person versus how we are perceived on this board.

York and Lancaster WSW version - WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation possible. Total snow accumulations of 5 to 7 inches and ice accumulations of up to one tenth of an inch possible. * WHERE...York and Lancaster Counties.

There's been a lot of understandable frustration with models this winter but just realize what what they are up against...ridiculously complex thermo and fluid atmospheric dynamics coupled with inadequate sampling. Then trying to pinpoint individual feature days in advance from features hundreds if not thousands of miles away. I think it's a miracle they even get close.

WWA was updated down this way from this morning's 2 - 3" to: 208 PM EST Wed Feb 10 2021 ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM THIS EVENING TO 9 AM EST THURSDAY... * WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 3 to 5 inches. * WHERE...Portions of south central Pennsylvania. * WHEN...From 6 PM this evening to 9 AM EST Thursday.

Light snow, temp 33, roads wet. Meh.

Winter Storm Watch issued by LWX for Maryland Mason-Dixon border counties and Chester county on east.

At least we don't have to chase models anymore now that we have the groundhog forecast coming out. That was exhausting.

Man that's crazy. It is pounding here. We're gonna see some weird storm totals from this one.

I think central and eastern Lanco getting some scraps from that and it's not too shabby. I'm back to under 1/2 mile at the moment.

Looks like the bands of doom are approaching Reading dropping SW. If those hold together...holy moly.

Just heard from Eli Stolzfus down the street. He said "it's makin' dawn naw!" Visibility 1/4 mile here.

Silence finally! No more sleet pounding against the house. Pivot axis SE of PHL and filling a bit. Plenty o' duration to go.

Seeing some shredded flakes mixed in (perhaps a new breakfast idea). Appears changeover is imminent here. Glad I did not shovel yet. Don't want all this crap on the bottom.

Tweet - "Coming up on Noontime, and the 3rd Act is beginning! There's still a bit of warm air aloft (causing sleet), but this layer will cool as heavier precip develops the next few hours. Travel conditions will deteriorate quickly this afternoon, so it would be prudent to get home soon!"
