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.

I didn't know that. My wife didn't either. And I'm kind of sorry that I deleted the post you quoted. After re-reading it, I felt it was way too negative and didn't belong in the thread. I guess rearranging plans and forgoing some fun activities kind of rubbed me wrong. If we were snowing and accumulating (was supposed to get 3-5 just this afternoon alone) I wouldn't have minded, but now it seems it was for nothing.

Glad the east bleed stopped, but I'd rather see a push back west instead of the status quo. It's looking more and more like I'll be in the dreaded subsidence zone

It's deja vu all over again. I remember that horrific nightmare, and now, here we go again.

Look where the screw zone between the coastal and the IVT is setting up. I actually CAN say that I saw THIS coming, especially once everything started shifting east. It's happened far too many times in my 25 years of living in Tamaqua. Actually, I started thinking about it even yesterday before the trend started.

Same here on the north side of the Blue Mountain. 37 and rain.

Rain in Tamaqua now. I can honestly say I did NOT see that coming. Temp creeping up to almost 37 now.

So when do temps crash? Currently up to 36 here and rising rapidly. Snow has totally stopped here as well.

35 here with a somewhat decent rate falling, but the late February midday sun is doing it's dirty work. Even our bare grassy areas are beginning to melt off at the moment.

I can report the same here. Would still be classified as light snow, but the flake size has greatly increased.
