Yeah that call is pretty darn aggressive for I-95 and south especially...seems like he is all-in on the thump.

He said there will be a 5-6 hr period where it will fall heavy...a.k.a "thump".

28F

Looks good to me. A little higher than I'm expecting but Glen has wrote the book on Philly area snowstorms...literally   I 'll defer to him. 

I'm always worried about a warm layer sneaking in too early and before you know the pinging begins...

Glenn at 11:00am newscast....looks solid to me.

28F

Accu Weather at 5:48am...pretty much as I would call it at this point.

3:41am update

23F

Long duration for sure...

zenmsav6810 could clarify but he's holding his cards close to his vest....

Quite honestly his dated map seems to be pretty correct as far as I'm concerned and I would hold. 3-6" in/around Philly then 6 -8" (or so)  once you hit the burbs...

31F

Just now, KamuSnow said:

Yeah, looks that way. Don't know if there's a second guess map yet.

I don't know his routine...it's confusing. So many guess maps then a final call. Since that one is 10+hrs old...it's probably dated.

^Looks like that was released 1045 this morning?

Winds have really picked up in the last hour or so...(20mph+)

33F

Damn, I've have been paying minimum attention due to outside issues but when did this turn into a long duration system? Early Thurs to Fri late morning/early afternoon??? Again, Damn...

“WINTER STORM WATCH” just hoisted‼️‼️

Yep...

Stuck in mt laurel tonight. Anything unsalted is a sheet of ice including side streets. Worst icing I've witnessed in awhile especially down here. Main roads are salted but you can hear people sliding all over the neighborhood.

 

Even though the radar doesn't show it, there's frz mist/drizzle in the air. Went out to see what's going on and almost fell on my ass..

23F

Thursday is trending towards more frozen imo. Should be a nice thump at the very least but it feels like one of those 3-6" slop storms that ends as light rain. Tuesday is dead for almost everyone at this point, only thing to watch there is if the precip keeps increasing. New nam paints a stripe of 1-1.5" qpf through se pa that is mostly liquid. Rgem is juiced up too. Should be a mess as that all falls in 12 hours. Going to run right off...

Many of us would take that regarding Thurs.

I think Mon night will be dicier than today...?

24F

27f here Blue Bell light freezing mist attm accretion beginning on all surfaces. Not wet. Frozen glaze. Maybe you were walking on a brined road or sidewalk?

You had many meltdowns/Ji's in the past...not busting. 

I walked in the street/sidewalks around 3pm and were wet. Recently drove toward the Montgomery Mall (202)...just wet.

Checking police, nothing major...just 3. 

As dark approaches,  of course things will get worse.

Has nothing to do with sun angle in this case.  Good lord

No clue what you're talking about.

I just said it's 27F and not icy but wet...that's it. Sun angle plays a part till nightfall...

I'm in blue bell attm 26f and glazing

Pavements...roads...or just snow?

Sun Angle effects temperature.  Warmer in summers...colder in winter.  How does it affect this storm at 25-27 degrees? 

Accue weather had me at 25 in the boro.

It will heat the surface more so than Dec, Jan...slowly but surely ice/snow will be harder to accumulate on surfaces. I've gone Trout fishing in late March/early April w/early temps in the 20s/30s and by the end of the day, sunburned w/a high of 45-50F.

Who had a rougher 2020-2021 season, the Euro or Carson Wentz? 

Lol...both a disaster.

Howie is turning down trades I would make in a sec. Somehow he thinks Wentz is an Elite QB?

I do not understand what you mean about sun angle at 27 degrees?

Changing the subject...I live in north Wales boro and have a temperature of 25.

You're older than me and if you don't know what sun angle means by now, I don't know what to tell you. Not being disrespectful.

Accu weather/Weather Underground have me at 27F. Could they be off by a degree or so...sure?

Thing about an ice storm is experienced countless 28-32F moderate rain ice events and none were eventful, take temps 25 and below for significant ice accrual.

 

I would go lower during daytime. 27F today and light drizzle and nothing. Took a stroll and everything was wet.

People don't want to admit it but the sun angle is kicking in...27F currently, no ice.  

Light/drizzle rain and 27F but it's not freezing on streets or pavements. Just took a walk on both, just wet.

Radar looks bad W-E...things moving out.

Mt. Holly’s WWA went into effect at 1 pm EST fwiw

He/She was more concerned/pissed the news outlets were wrong than anything else...not MT Holly who said 1pm..

Very light mix of IP and ZR just started, 28F/DP 7F.

Radar is filling in rather well from the W-E...27F
