19.6 here. Funny how 20 with no wind doesn't feel all that cold.

Thanks for posting this. I know I'm in the minority, and sometimes I can be overbearing, but I really needed a spirit pick me up. I've been about as depressed as I've ever been this winter.

43 in the Tamaqua backyard at 10:30am. Even warmer here in Allentown. Hopefully we get a full sunny day today. That way, all of the old snowpack will be gone before anything next week materializes.

I'm so torn on this. Part of says yes, give the winter snow guys one last storm, but part of me is quite happy seeing more and more bare ground each day. I'm not sure I want to start the melting process all over again.

I don't have any hurrahs left in me...

I just saw a couple posts on Facebook that nearly pushed me over the edge. Both of them talked about another PV split, and that after a bit of a warmup, winter returns and may last into early April. They actually made me hide all weather posts on Facebook from pro and amateur mets. I can't take the depression any more. I just can't...

Thanks! I'll have to look it up for December and February.

Actually, I was going to ask about that. Does anyone have stats on cloudy vs sunny days? Besides the cold and wind, it seems like it's been exceptionally cloudy this winter.

I see 1-2 for Tuesday night, another 1-2 maybe on Thursday, and then another possible storm next Monday. Make it stop already...

Thanks much! I could use an adult beverage or three as I'm quite wound up this morning.

And now it stopped...

I'm hoping it keeps going in the Lansdale area, and the Penndot restrictions hold well into the afternoon. I really don't want to go down there today.

Nice!

Ok, not sure what's going on. Got a moderate snow with big fatties falling, yet there's nothing overhead on radar. Must be low topped clouds under the radar beam. Anyway. I just measured 3" on the hood of my white GMC Terrain that didn't go anywhere since 8am yesterday. So I suppose it's sort of a white board...lol.

Thanks! I guess we'll see how it goes. I have to back in off of Koffel Road which is dicey when it's dry and the sun shines. Not sure what it'll be like today.

Allright, help me out guys. How much snowfall had there been in the Lansdale/Hatfield area? I have to go down there around noon to 1pm to deliver Lucerne Dairy on Forty Foot Road.

So the amount of snow I went to bed last night to is what I woke up to this morning. I measured 1 inch on my backyard sidewalk, and am eyeballing about 2 inches on cars and other unpaved surfaces. Holy hell, what a storm. I'm not sure where I'm going to put all this snow when I go out to shovel it. I have to give the NWS credit, in their snow forecasts other than the point and clicks which were giving me 6-12, I was in the low end of 1 inch, expected amount 10 inches, and high end 18 inches. Well we did get into their range....barely.

Nice. As for the snow, even though I'm a warmanista, I really wanted this one.

We did have some moderate snow a little while ago, but I think the heavy band down near Allentown is putting us into a subsidence zone.

Yeah, actually the intensity slacked off a bit here from before. It was solidly moderate, but now lightened up some. So close, but yet so far...

Any chance any of that heavy stuff gets over the Blue Mountain?

I thought we were safe for double digits too. We may still be, who knows. I'm getting moderate snow now at 32 degrees. Everything finally caved.

Yeah, you were pretty steady all along. I got sucked in when the short term mesos started putting out big numbers even up here. I should have known it would be a recipe for disappointment.

Sheesh...

I've probably been in more subsidence zones and dry slots in my 25 years here than the blockbusters that have hit the Mid Atlantic, Philly, and NYC forums. Most of the big dogs over the years have jackpotted south and/or east of here. I can't remember which year and storm it was, but everyone got hit except here and north. I watched wave after wave of heavy snow charge north on radar, only to hit the dry air north of the Blue Mountain and evaporate it into pixie dust. And I vividly remember the posts talking of puking snow coming from all the forums, including this one.
