IIRC from Mt. Holly's AFD yesterday, there was mention about this storm probably continually going back and forth with p-types - probably similar to what happened with the end of January storm, going back and forth between a sleet storm and snow/rain.

I think Philly is fine for some time and Philly burbs for a long time.

I really don't expect sleet around here before 12-2pm at the earliest...good stuff incoming. 

For those in Philly immediate, don't fear....you'll get blasted soon.

Radar looks ripe...NWS.

You wish you had her number 

She usually stops by after the 11pm newscast....we talk weather.

What happened to 6-9"? Major downgrade there. 

I'll call Cecily and see what that's all about...

Fine flakes just started but Mont/Bucks folks appear to be in a good spot looking at radar....

Accu Weather just now....that's one big ass 3-6" coverage area.

Snowing in Reading....we should see something soon.

26F

Snowing in Lancaster and the radar looks pretty good heading this way... 

Screw models at this point, nowcasting...

3k NAM is 1" snow before the flip here now. Cant say I'm not surprised at the trends under 30hrs. 

I'm not buying that...

Hrrr is warm with much sleet. Looks like we manage a couple inches before the flip verbatim. Dont like seeing the mesos reducing snow and increasing sleet but it is what it is. 

My expectations were/are snow 4+" then sleet and such which is fine. But a quick flip would piss me off...

Weather World cancelled early spring 

Cancel Spring/Summer in general works for me....

Appears all systems going as planned:

Temp: Hanging between 23-24F

DP: 12F (so temps will drop w/steady/heavy precip)

Radar filling in and some good echoes moving up...thinking 4-5am we'll see some flakes depending on virga.

See what NWS thinks/update is posted within an hour or so...

@greenskeeper should probably stop spamming the forum with weenie reactions and actually post something

That's impossible. He hasn't posted in months/years...that's his job.

I think he'll get drilled and blow up the server w/weenie tags against him if he would make a post...

Right! We would have killed for this the past 4 winters. 

My goal is to get my work/laundry/shower and small crap done before the GFS, Euro then crash till pre-dawn. I'll hang with the Nam beforehand for entertainment purposes.

Overall thinking, 3-5" then "stuff"...not horrible.

22F now, not bad.

What makes this site so nice is we don't usually call folks weenies.....even if their opinion is different....but clearly not always

??

It happens all the time in every forum (subforum)  on this site. Nothing should be taken that seriously. Anyhow, greenskeeper keeps close guard and weenies violators....and paid well!

Okay sure, but at least it will snow again. 

True...

The whole sun angle thing is for real, however some including myself have been burned by this before. Regarding this storm, through about 2 PM Thursday looks like when roads will be the worst but yeah once the snow intensity lessens roads should improve during peak daylight. Of course sleet does not melt as quick on roads so that is a different story. 

I know some like seeing snow during daylight but this would be a much better overnight storm IMO....really much better.

It exists but for the most part way overblown....for light snow for sure it is an issue for moderate to heavy....it will accumulate - heck S+ will accumulate at 34 degrees at 2pm....

Not at all.

Sure, put it in your weenie book then melts 15 mins later is not real snow. If it gives you a sense of stat accomplishment, carry on....
