Oops you are correct - this is usually known as the Megalopolitan Storm, Kocin/Uccelini

I usually just refer to it as "The Blizzard of 83'....

Looks light end nuisance, new GFS is 1" snow and no ice

Refresher...works for me.

Hoping for a very cool and rainy (perhaps some snow?) Spring.....we are always screwed during Summer w/HHH at some point though.

32F / Overcast

33" on the nose here in Ivyland.

You, I and JTA66 in Lansdale will be pretty much similar in totals. If someone asked me since I don't keep "exact" amounts....I would have said 27 - 30". That damn snow drought from 12/16 till end of Jan really screwed things up in my mind from a solid classic winter...

29F/overcast

Speaking of snow mounds, the most epic Kamu snowpile exists in the Modell's/Shoprite lot on Street Rd in Warminster. Easily 15 feet high and 25 feet long. It looks like they took most of the snow in that huge lot and just piled into one huge mountain. That will be there til May easily.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I took/take my father to that Shoprite occasionally after a storm and they do make a huge snow pile....

26F / cloudy / Approx 2-2.5"

Snow plow guy just went up the road scraping the bejebus out of the asphalt so I'm guessing 2"+....light snow / 27F

Checked and surprised there is 1.8" , also a wild cat fight in progress.

 

Big dog fan here, hate cats.  Let them fight..

Steady light snow / 27F

Nice - enjoy!

When I lived along Rt422 (Phoenixville, Royersford, Limerick) deer were everywhere. I hit one. I don't mind them being mellow in the backyard but when they bolt across a highway when I'm doing 65-70mph...screw that!

Steady light snow / 27F 

Just took a walk...tad more than I thought. A solid 1.5"+....2" looks like a lock...3"/3"+?

Just measured an inch, deer are out in the yard, beautiful outside! I'm leaning lower here based on the radar, thinking 2", open to more of course!

Believe or not I see more fox around here than deer. They're super mellow and just go about their business. I was on the North Wales facebook community page and people said the same w/pictures.

Taking a Jebwalk to Wawa shortly for a coffee and to be outside. Nothing like big snow mounds around you, peaceful in the middle of the night while it's snowing....

28F / light snow

Just now, KamuSnow said:

It's at least moderate here, but the radar to the west is now looking a little less inspiring than it was.

The best I had so far was a "steady" light snow. The flakes were consistent but so damn small!

Overall happy, everything has whitened up and I'm expecting 2" or so....

Flakes getting a bit larger here in NW Chesco temp down to 28.4 - will measure at midnight but a solid coating so far

 

It's real easy to get flakes larger than an atom from an hour ago. Damn, they were small. A littler larger here as well but not ground breaking.

Roads covered, this event is the definition of a refresher...28F here as well.

I don't think we'll ever hit mod intensity and forget about heavy....

Accu Weather @ 11pm really not thrilled w/this event for Philly and the N/W burbs...

Fox29 added a banding area of 4-6".

Light snow/ 29F

I'm going to the Joseph Ambler Inn on Saturday into Sunday with my fiancee. Very nice place.

Nice! Never been there but heard good things....only a couple miles from here.

Expect some snow/sleet and don''t be a weenie, pay attention to your fiancee and not weather models and radars...

Where you at birds? 

North Wales....near Lansdale. Fine light snow falling...30F

Some flakes but heavier echoes just to the west...

30F

Edit: idk why the old one always posts. But they significantly increased totals region wide. 

NWS 10min ago...

Been noticing how the radar has seemed to show precip farther east than modeled, and it appears they're getting flurries west of D.C., so I'm thinking maybe as early as 8 or 9 pm here, unless the air here is super dry. RH is 52%, so it's not that dry.

Looking forward to tonight! Might have to have the traditional pre-snow kettle fire.

Yeah, I originally thought midnight then jacked it back to 10pm+...now maybe earlier??

Some moderators are too strict on there. I posted models with no content.  Banned. 

Some people go on a power trip being a "Mod"...

Just now, MJO812 said:

I'm banned from that forum

I guess I'm a terrible weenie 

How? You're pretty mellow....

Watches wouldn't make sense with the storm mainly being tonight-tomorrow morning. Will stay as WWA or be upgraded to a WSW. WSW criteria is also different for SEPA compared to SNJ so it will be interesting to watch.

I may be I'm losing my mind but I don't remember only a WWA for/a 2-4" event. (if that stays)  And I don't remember a warning for 2-4" (again, if that stays)...it would freak people out. A Watch makes sense to me....tough call.

Just now, JTA66 said:

Thanks! For some reason I thought Philly on S&E only needed 4". I expect a WWA for us, but we'll see.

I think WSW?

Who really cares....give me 2-4" and I could give two shits if I am under a WWA or WSW.

Most of the old members from this site are on phillywx.com forum Ralph. He used to post here. 

Pretty sure Ralph was here when Tombo was here?

Tombo was a solid poster and did a mean play by play...

The thing screwing Philly the most w/this storm is timing (morning rush hour) IMO more than potential accumulation. Then again many people/students will be virtual...

Philly just needs 4" for warning criteria,  so I could see them under a warning. But yeah...

Atmospheric memory/seasonal trend ftw! 

A storm with six or more inches of snow, sleet and/or freezing rain is expected within a 24-hour period.
