I 100% agree with this.

Apparently, per Facebook reports, we had thunder here when the CCB rolled through. If so, I was sleeping and missed it... Other than that, we got about a 1/4 inch of sleet after the changeover last night, and right at 1 inch from the CCB. Puts the total frozen for the event at 7.75 inches in my backyard.

Look closely at this photo. There is one nearly perfect dendrite sitting front and center catching the light in among all that snow! Pretty cool!!!

Not me... I was safely tucked away here at home for this one. I had a new roof put on the house this week and decided to take the whole week off. I'm SO glad I did. Had I come back out of the house today I probably would have a noon appointment to pick up a load, and since it takes 2-3 hours to load, would have been out there at the WORST possible time. I'm uploading a short video to Youtube about it now.

A light mix of sleet and freezing rain now. It flipped shrtly after my last post, so 6.5" and in a holding pattern for now.

Yup...

6.5" so far here. Still snowing, but not as hard. The worst part is it's total gridlock on the roads. Every major hill here around Tamaqua is shut down.

My wife is still at work. Wish they'd have let her go early. I am glad I took the week off as we we're getting a new roof. Better to be home than piloting a big rig, although my time will come eventually.

Tamaqua... 5 inches now and still heavy snow here. Pretty much been at inch/hour rates most of the afternoon.

I know. You always wonder when the temp is going up and it hasn't started yet. Just went out to measure, and I have 3.25" already and it only started at 11:40am.

For once I can say "it's puking snow up here"...lol And it is. Big, beautiful dendrites that are piling up rather quickly. I'm guessing, since I didn't measure yet, that we have between 1 and 2 inches down already. Also the temp dropped from 31f right before it started to 27f now. What's amazing is how cold this one is. Other November storms that I remember were warmer. I was outside doing a video segment in my backyard, and it felt more like January than November.

Yeah, Google Maps traffic is UGLY... Every road is dark red, accidents everywhere, and it looks like I-83 northbound is closed going up over Reeser's Summit

I was kind of shocked, honestly. We're all snow now, but the initial shot was pellets.

It tapered off a bit at the moment, but seeing more and more flakes mixing in. The initial shot, even though it was sleet, was rather impressive!
