    '94 definitely once in a lifetime.  Hope I don't see another.  I worked for an Oil Co back then.  It was complete insanity.  Customer's pipes froze from the outages, the owner was buying every 4 wheel pick up he could find and putting tanks in the back and spikes on the guy's feet.  Salesman became service techs, and we became a 24/7 operation and it took us weeks to get everyone back in heat.  Our phones were so busy, people were calling the police and they would come to the office and give us their service request.  Never again.  Some homes that endured no heat for weeks, finally getting the pipes thawed, only to then be taken out again from the flooding Brandywine due to the ice jams.

    Call me crazy but I would highly enjoy another similar event. I didn't appreciate how once in a lifetime and how obscure that storm really was...

    Once in a lifetime never again, reverse train track ruts on roads with inches of ice they couldn't melt, drove around like slot car racers for weeks. I bet the youngin's in here can't believe it but true.

     

    My car took a beating that year. Alignment all screwed up, suspension and my brake line rusted and leakage..

    I had 16F and rain in Horsham in 1994 I know it happens, I was expecting up to 1" snow today essentially WAA stuff before the warm air punched in. 

    And now the sleet has changed to big puffy marshmallows lol

     

    That was nuts....doubt I see anything like that again. Heavy rain and mid teens...

    Even un-failable accu weather said snow on snow on snow this week right? What will family member say

    I already have snow on snow on snow. I had snow on the ground (small pile) from Dec 16th then we had 2 more recent snows. So I may end up w/ snow on snow on snow on snow on snow on snow by Sunday w/all these waves...

    Under those returns and not a flake. 12z GFS spit out the most grotesque conceivable two week run of cold rain even Dr. Evil couldn't have done it any better. 

     

    It's shrinking/drying up as well.

    Just seen Allentown only received 1.1" and Bushkill 1.4".

    Overall just feel like we're going to get screwed w/all these little waves...underperformers. Only positive we'll have refreshers but nothing big and w/the cold air in place the snow isn't going anywhere...

    I still think this will be 3-6" region wide Wednesday night into thursday when all is said and done. Wave 2 may be another 1-3/2-4 type deal, not as confident that comes north enough. I'll be surprised if wave 1 is a complete fail here though, I think at the very least it will be a 1-3" refresher. 

    I'd go w/2-4" for wave 1 and 1-2" for wave 2 at this point. Looks like this is more a MA forum storm than ours which doesn't happen often....good for them.

    29F/Overcast

    Snow maps are meh. Given temps in the 20s and the surface maps qpf depiction, expected better than 1-3" but we take.

    Not only that but it's going to be super light (intensity) considering the duration and only picking up a couple inches (if?)....

    Already 17F @ 11:10pm
