Whoever is in the path of this....good 1"+ stuff.

Edit: I think some 2" rates...

This will be a 2"+ batch that's going to roll through soon....going to be cool along w/the wind.

32F

I can see this thing done for the burbs by 10-11am and some sun by 2pm or earlier. Gotta get you stuff in now...it's trucking.

Back to pancake size flakes from sleet...this alley is pretty nice.

@Birds~69 latest mesos have you and I at ground zero. Good luck! Can't wait to drive to Telford at 830 

It's still raising hell out there (pings galore), wind as well. Hope I kick back to snow.

Like Telford, I've been going through rain, snow, big time sleet, frz rain....right now Telford Frz rain.

Hell, just call out or show up this afternoon...

Odd, I was at 34F w/snow...now, 33F w/heavy duty sleet pegging the windows. 

Just watching Fox29 news and the guy traveling around in Allentown w/sleet as well...

34F changed over to IP and my favorite graupel.

 

We're ahead of changeover schedule.

Just ticked down to 36F/Rain...

Looks like the snow line is ready to hit Allentown if it hasn't already...

Steady rain/37F

Feels pretty warm out. Looking forward to waking up to a whiteout though, lol.

42F here...Scranton down to 30F so colder air around.

WV radar and stuff/yellows are building heading our way, it kinda looks on schedule. 

Down to 43F. If I'm in the 30s by midnight and radar is filling in I'd consider that a win...

41 according to the car...were talking like 3% sleet and big rain drops

Messing w/you. Could be graupel or minor hallucinations? Happens to the best of weenies.

Thinking some frozen stuff mixing in/changing by 3am for the far burbs, by 5am for mid/upper Mont/Bucks counties and 6am+ for Philly and lower Mont/Bucks counties.

The earlier the better of course...

44F/light rain

If I could double weenie that map I would...

So would I!!

Thing is,  the 3 major networks snow total maps are in the same general area and it's not just 1 network. I think they are pretty much locked into this.

This kind of setup is difficult to predict snow amounts...

Had some of them in the 80's

Yep. Tree limbs breaking, transformers exploding, rooftops collapsing....good stuff!

46F

NWS kept my 4-7" and only one mile away from the Coopersburg forecast zone of 7-10"

 

3-5" here...no one is mentioning the 30+mph winds which will smash/stick the super wet heavy snow to everything which is kinda cool...

46F 

CBS3 gives Philly just about squat...
