Voyager

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.

12z Euro is NOT backing the eff down!

LFG!!!

I love seeing this, but are the globals the way to go this close in?

I’m not ready to jump ship. Still going to be a big snowfall. I can vouch that sleet blows good out of a snowblower   

Unfortunately I have to hand bomb whatever falls. I don't have a snowblower, as I only have basement storage, and I'm not bulling that thing up a flight of steps to get it outside.

Here are the last 2 panels with anything significant, things lighten up by late evening for most.

Disheartening that even the GFS brings the mix into the Skook now. Earlier, it seemed only the NAM was doing that.

Mix back through I-81 by tomorrow early evening.

What does the next panel show?

Just now, WmsptWx said:

I'll report back. I would be about 10-15 miles north.

I'm in it as well.

21z tomorrow by 4 pm mix to around turnpike.

That's one hell of a thump just north of the mix line.

 I do sorta feel like a kid before Christmas right now. I've been flying high for a couple days. Really enjoyable when things improve, then hold and you get the days of fun looking at models and all the storm hype in the community etc.

It's funny you posted this. Yesterday at work, all day it felt like the last day of work before the Christmas off days. I was actually going to post it in my central PA thread, but didn't.
