I think it was the Christmas Day storm, ironically to close out 2010, where NYC got pummelled, and guess what? We were on the edge of the storm near another sharp cut-off and got, yup, another whopping 2-4 inches. That one was particularly painful because we had a WSW for 12-18 inches, but the storm tracked farther east (and again the confluence) than expected.

I wish I could truly remember the actual totals for the back-to-back 2010 storms up here, but the confluence was so bad that I don't think we saw 6 inches combined for both storms. It's where I developed my incredible disdain for 1-3/2-4 type events. One of those storms the confluence was so bad, and the cut off so dramatic, that while watching the radar (for hours) the heavy snow would literally dry up at the Blue Mountain. Most of the day featured "pixie dust" falling from the sky.

Looks like 1.68" might just do it for this event, unless that band to the west makes it through here. How much did everyone else see? Over in the Philly thread, some have gotten over the 2 inch mark.

Did you see the snow maps from 318 to 342? Gives the coastal plain from Savannah to Virginia Beach a solid 6-12 inches...lol

If it hits like here, it is pretty good. It's probably been raining for about 2-3 hours, and already I have .36" in the gauge.

It's 38 with moderate to occasionally heavy rain and wind here. Already 0.36" in the gauge. I know the synoptic answer to this, but I'll ask it anyway. Where is this kind of start off when it's cold enough to snow? We'd be pushing 4 inches already with some drifting taking place.

I should have known by the lack of posts that the 0z GFS for next weekend was crap tonight...lol But the wind finally got here. Really starting to rattle the windows and clang the annoying wind chimes now.

All calm here, for now anyway.

Ditto... Mag, you are invaluable to our forum. I, and I'm sure no one else, expects you to be right every time.

Jesus Christ, I didn't even get time to post "no pics please"...ugh

Cool!

Since there's no weather to talk about, I figure I'll give you all an unsolicited, unashamed, selfie that shows just how hard I work in this job (when I'm not driving anyways...lol).

I had 20 inches and I think Scranton had 1. It was one of the rare times where the sharp cut off was north of me.

Sounds like a plan!!!

I'm getting tired of weekend threats. We need one on a weekday...

I feel the exact way you do. I prefer a front loaded winter and then the warm up to spring starting in March. As for the seasons shifting on the calendar, I don't know, but locally, it almost does seem like it.

That would be funny if it weren't entirely possible to actually verify like that. It's not like we haven't traveled that road before.

That's really quite impressive when you think about it. The most snow of any month that winter came only one month removed from summer.

That panel is a rainer for my neck of the woods...lol

Many is an understatement...

That used to be the Schuylkill County gradient a few years back. Quite a few storms have given Allentown 12+ and Tamaqua 1-4...lol

That was a true paste bomb here. I wish I still had the pics from it, but they were taken on a very shitty 1st gen digital camera so they weren't very good. I think we ended up with about 8 inches overall from that one in my backyard. We got about an inch or so of light snow on Christmas Eve, then it flipped to light rain overnight, and at about 9-10am Christmas morning it flipped back to heavy snow. Areas north of me and in a higher elevation never got above freezing and as such had major problems with downed tree limbs, wires, and prolonged power outages due to the heavy ice accretion.

And yet the 0z Euro and Canadian both appear to give NEPA and especially areas southeast of the Blue Mountain the typical Miller B dryslot/screwsone...

That's where I am. I hate 2 inch snows that don't do much more than bring the salt trucks out, and sleet and freezing rain really do nothing for me anyway. Not to mention that shoveling "concrete" sucks. Give me a 6+ inch all snow event, or just give me a torch and rain.
