    I think 10-12 is a good call for Berks County.  Maybe up to 14 depending on rates and change to sleet.  Regardless, this will become a glacier.  

    And for areas that don't see sleet, some blowing and drifting will be problems with wind gusts up to 25mph after the storm passes.

    From what I seen it looks like blowing and drifting will be a concern after 8am on Monday into Tuesday morning with 30 mph gusts.

    Some of the roads we use on our routes are going to be problematic if that occurs. PA895 west of New Ringgold has a deep cut and will probably blow shut if Pendot doesn't stay on top of things. The road to our one well (the "well in the woods" that I show in my videos) traverses an open field that is township maintained and will probably blow shut as well. It may not be until Wednesday that we won't have major problems to deal with.

    I think I got about 18” off of that storm. It was a long time ago.

    I know I got 17" total out of that one when I lived in Bethlehem. How much of it was sleet, I can't remember, but it was a decent amount.

    Most everyone is going to get a foot of snow so enjoy!

    Nope. Anything under 20 is a bust as far as I'm concerned... :P

    ABC27 thinks snow could be done by 8:30pm Sunday night.

    Man, I hope it's not done that early. As of right now, we have no scheduled loads for Monday because of the snow. If it stops that early, if the roads are in any way passable, we'll be expected to go out. As I pointed out in a previous post, I'm a one man show when it comes to snow removal for two properties and three vehicles. I'll need most of Monday to clean this stuff up.

    So this is what I have for a forecast. Question is, how much more Sunday night and Monday morning? They only show 8-14 through Sunday late afternoon/evening.

     
     

    To answer my question, I just had to wait until this morning's update. Thy added in Sunday overnight accumulations, which gives me a range of 12-22 inches. Still mum on Monday's possible accumulations if it snows late into the morning.

    Saturday Night
    Snow likely after 1am. Cloudy, with a low around 8. Calm wind. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.
    Sunday
    Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 18. East wind 5 to 7 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 8 to 12 inches possible.
    Sunday Night
    Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 15. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible.
    Monday
    A chance of snow before 1pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 22. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

    Took this from the MA thread and I 100% agree:

    ”Seems like a theme of 12z so far has been flattening the flow over the central CONUS. Nice because it should help with keeping the primary from rushing north so much. Hopefully it is a trend.”

    I'm not sure I want a trend so much as for it to hold serve just as it is. Everyone gets close to, or even above 20" as depicted. I'd kind of hate to lose what I (or we) have gained the past few runs.
