DudeReally?Stop enabling someone who keeps ruining the forum. 

Your attitude ruins the forum more than Canderson's does six days from Sunday which means that he doesn't, and hasn't, ruin(ed) the forum at all, ever.

I agree 100 percent with this statement. He has always been a great member. I looked back at what he said last night and see absolutely nothing wrong with it. He posted facts that they didn’t get much, don’t see anything wrong with that. 

Nope. I don't either. He was just posting what was transpiring in his backyard/neighborhood.

  You just can't stop trying to be a snake at every single opportunity. Are You really trying to flip this script as if i'm trying to say, no one got much snow, is that really what you're gonna do here. Do you think the people are really so dumb that they're not going remember my posts from last night.  Just because everyone else has given you a free pass to be a snake in the grass doesn't mean I have to allow you to be one. I think your behavior last night was some of the most disgusting I've ever seen on the forum while people were actually trying to enjoy themselves. I've done some a****** things myself but I at least saved them for after the snow. 

Dude......really?

Because the pictures I post must be fake. Do you ever quit antagonizing and slapping people in the face.

Dude's whole deal last night was to antagonize discredit and ruin other people's fun and I don't think it could have been any more obvious.. 

Canderson's good people, and nearly everyone, myself included, have deep respect for him and his posts. He doesn't deserve this kind of treatment.

3 measurements yielded an average of 4.5" here in Maytown. Everything was encased in white and made for a true Hallmark scene. Only had about 1" on the driveway so no shoveling was required. That was my only disappointment.

Glad you finally got a decent snow event!

So this snow snow plus the previous two has put me at 11.5" for the season.

9.5" is my current snowpack, so since 12/2 we only lost 2 inches to melting/compaction. That's quite a testament to how cold the first half of December has been.

It just doesn't want to stop snowing here...

6”
Or so in Bethlehem

 

You nailed it for down there. Up here you were a little low, but still better than most others, including the NWS. Not sure how we ended up getting into the same numbers that were forecasted for SEPA. Maybe slower storm movement, stronger development, more northerly track? Who knows, but it was definitely an overachiever north of the Blue Mountain.

So, last night, with the evening forecast, we didn't even have an advisory here in Schuylkill County. Truth is we ended up close to meeting warning criteria. Major bust with most of the forecasts yesterday.

So it appears that I finished up with 5.5" with my unofficial sidewalk measurement. Definitely an overachiever here. I captured WGAL's forecast map from yesterday, and they had me at C-1 and CTP had me at 1-2.

As for quitting drinking, the thing I appreciate the most is not waking up with a hangover headache the next morning.

5am and I wake up to this! Just a bit more than any forecast for my backyard. Quite the over performer. The back edge is close, but may sneak out another quarter to half inch as it's still snowing lightly here.

So I see that CTP finally hoisted an advisory for Schuylkill County and upped accumulations to 2-4 inches.

Below is the original forecast which, unless it were to stop snowing now, has already busted.

good 1”+ already

My backyard sidewalk in Tamaqua...

It's hard to measure taking a pic of a tape measure with a cell phone, but unofficially it looks like 2.25" now.

Not sure if you guys will believe it or not, but I have 1.5" of fluff on the sidewalk in my backyard already. 

Getting better rates and bigger flakes now. Temp down to 29.8 degrees.

Pixie dust snow here.

Same here. Dusting on anything that's not been treated from the past storms, but the roads are trying to cave with a temp of 30.4 degrees.

Light snow here. Everything covered, no melting 30 degrees

Roads here caved a little while ago. More than I expected already.

We're not to that point yet. Just a dusting on the roof of the Bronco 

Light snow started here in Tamaqua at 4:45pm just as I was parking the car at the restaurant.

These mesos just keep beefing up totals. 19z HRRR is a widespread 5-7” with isolated 8” spots throughout SE PA, from Philly through the burbs up to the Lehigh Valley. My 2-4” call for the Allentown area might be too low, when at this time yesterday I was wondering if it would be too high!

Looks like the Blue Mountain is going to be the cutoff between a good plowable snow southeast, and more of a nuisance variety one on the northern side.

Latest HRRR and RAP deliver the goods south of I-81 and the Blue Mountain. Solid 3-6 York, Lancaster, SE Lebanon, Berks, Lehigh and Northampton.

It’s a start, but they need to add Dauphin & Skook…

I’m not sure they are aware that most of the population of Dauphin county is in the southern half…

They just updated with this:

NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 AM SUNDAY MORNING/...
Mid afternoon changes.

Some model guidance has a bit heavier QPF across the northern
edge of where we had an advisory out for the far SE counties,
thus adding in a couple more counties into the advisory.

 

I agree. Most short term guidance has upped the ante for both counties.

The era of it always snows at night

That's the best for stickage. Even at temps above 25 degrees mid afternoon I've noticed melting on roads and sidewalks unless the rates are good.

Sorry to hear about her losing her ability to be mobile. Tough stuff. 

Thanks. She still gets around, but has regressed from having to use a cane to using a walker.

CTP has snow starting around 11 pm for HBG

That's good. Tonight is our company Christmas party and any snow before 10 or 11 here will not be good for my wife and her deteriorating mobility issues.

CTP busted high with my forecast low. They said 16. At 3:00am I dropped down to 10.8
