Heavy sleet here, few flakes mixed in. The mix line is less than 10 miles north of me. Pain.

I'm in a battleground area where it doesn't fully flip, but we do at times go 80/20 sleet. We've been back and forth for a few hours now. It's just enough to probably knock off a couple to few inches from the final tally.

10.5" here. Up until 15 minutes ago it was mostly snow, but now is mostly sleet again. I do have to ask, though, why are my questions being ignored?

HOLD!

How do I get this radar presentation? I'd like to focus it on my location.

This warm layer coming looks more thick. Wish we had a balloon launch right now

So the sleet line is rushing back north again?

Back to all snow here and nearly as heavy as it was before it started mixing. 

Officially, we made it to 10 degrees, but the station is currently reading 9.5

Seems like it's going back to all snow here as well. I did clean my area after measuring 9 inches.

Crashing in central PA but still slightly rising in eastern. 

Thanks. Hopefully it crashes east soon. Still have a few big flakes falling, but mostly sleet. Someone over in the Philly thread said the sleet line was racing northward towards Scranton currently.

Now, do I clean my measuring area, or wait to see if it flips back?

I'm not good the radars shown above is the sleet line advancing north or sinking south?

Well, the snow is still mostly snow here, but I'm standing on my front porch and it's getting increasing noisy, so sleet is mixing in here as well.

Dammit. Thought I might survive without the pingers...

Guess the NAM might have gotten it right upstairs after all.

Although now I'm starting to get some big fat flakes coming down as well. Battle zone going on over my house I guess.

Measured an impressive 10” here in Lebanon before it went to mostly sleet. Big flakes mixed in but mostly sleet now…bummer…with those amazing ratios and snowfall rates, easily could have doubled the snow amount

I'm not doubting your observation, but the radars that I looked at all show the mix still down by the state line, and all snow north into Pennsylvania. Usually they are pretty good at showing where the demarcation is.

Snowstorm nooners with our heaviest rates so far...

Temp: 8

Accumulation: 8 inches.

Snow rate has increased significantly, temp has held at 7 all morning and as of 10:00am, 5 inches on the ground.

Yes west, out in the avenues , that’s broad and 7th I believe in the pic
 

Cool. The avenues were my old stomping grounds. Lived at 2nd Ave and Union Blvd from 1973 to 1982, then 10th and Market from 1982 to 1988.

Do you still plow West Bethlehem or are you in a different section of the city?

3.5" in Tamaqua at 8:15am.

Seems like ages since I got to see a solid warning criteria snowfall mostly falling in daylight, but here it comes.  Intensity picking up in National Park NJ, looks like we are past an inch now.

Prime-time snow is the best snow.

It'll be nice to get it. But given the radar, Southwest is starting to dry up a bit. Unless it fills in, it looks like this. Snow's gotta cut off a little earlier

Are you kidding me? Look at the moisture feed coming up from all the way down in Houston. Not to mention the fact that it's snowing all the way back out west to Missouri.

Blizz, don’t you think that has to be over done for MDT and points south and east? I mean I’m praying and all but the mesos aren’t in the 12-16 range! 

Every one of the them but the NAM seem to be holding at 15-17 inches here, but...the caveat is that I'm probably farther northeast from any potential mixing. Not saying it can't, or won't, happen, but I suppose it's less likely here.

Update @ 6:00am

Just got up (4:30am), so I don't know when it started, but eyeballing a half inch under moderate snow.

Temp is a balmy 8 degrees here.

Looking at the historical graph from my weather station, temp held steady at 11 degrees until 3:05am when it started a decline to the current 8.1 degrees. I figure that's probably when it started here in my backyard.

Super cool! Wish there was a way to share the actual feed. I want to put it on Facebook.

On a more serious meteorological note, when should I drink this “Snowy Night” stout? Tonight, seeing as the snow starts overnight? Or do I have it early in the day tomorrow in the hopes of delaying the flip and having a snowy night on Sunday? Remember, the fate of the storm hinges on this decision. 

In that case, drink responsibly...

Amen! And it’ll stick around a long while afterward too, which is pretty rare overall 

This.

Many times, big snows come at the end of a cold pattern, and half (or more) is lost to the warmer regime that follows behind after a couple days.
