30.5°F now and blacktop starting to whiten with moderate to heavy fine snow.
-
Ok now down to 31.6°F with the sidewalk juuust starting to turn white. Snowing moderately now. Loving this winter.
-
32.3°F and light, fine snow in Reading. Temp has lowly risen from 30 at 6 am, hoping it gets back under freezing soon. Nothing sticking to roads/sidewalk yet.
-
Light snow and 28.2° F. A nice coating of fluff. Debating shoveling the driveway and front walk. Ran out of rock salt last night though so I need to get to the hardware store at some point today. The blacktop on my street is covered though so maybe I'll wait a little while longer.

I guess I'm struggling to see how "the coastal" is going to bring much more precipitation to our region. Is the predicted precip tonight going to be from that? To my untrained eye it looks like the center of low pressure will be far offshore by then as opposed to the last storm where it was much deeper and hugged the shore quite a bit longer.
-
HRRR says more development later in the day though. Maybe some snow TV to close out the day?
-
Yeah this thing looks like it's moving out. Not bad though, roughly 5" on the driveway. Started to pelt me with sleet and graupel while I was snowblowing but now it's not doing anything. Really pretty out though.
-
Lol dunno, just moved here and really enjoying it so far. Snow on snow on snow on snow I think we're up to. Can't remember the last time that's happened. Also I think I might have just heard some light pings on the window...
-
Looks like a momentary lull. Some juicy returns coming in just to our west.
-
Checking in from Reading with about 3" of fresh stuff on the deck. What's falling now looks almost graupel-ish; just small, nuggetty "flakes". Falling pretty moderately as well. 22.8°F.
-
Is it me or is the actual precip running 4-5 hours ahead of the NAM 0Z? Looking at Nexrad it appears that precip has already spread across central PA (most likely virga I'm guessing) whereas the NAM shows the precip just crossing into western PA around 11PM... Maybe I'm just looking at it wrong though.

Hey thanks man, much appreciated.
-
Oh I bet. Yeah we actually have one that was my Dad's when he was a kid. It's no longer in service, but I seem to remember being dragged around on it in the late 70's or early 80's when I was very little. Saucers are also fun on iced-over snow. Much less control, but that's kinda the point I think.
-
Looking forward to seeing if we get a frozen crust tonight. One of my favorite memories as a kid was being able to walk on top of the snowpack at some point. Only happens very rarely, especially more so the older (and fatter!) I get.

Raining pretty hard here now, temp up to 33.2. We never hit below freezing. Hope everyone else is doing ok though!
-
32.5 and drizzle. Temps up .4 since almost two hours ago.
-
Currently holding at 32.1°F IMBY. Light spots of drizzle moving through. No ice yet.
-
Boy I sure picked a good winter to move to Berks. Guess I should test-run the genny today.
-
Doesn't really look like much is heading our way.
-
Can't recall the last time I've had snow on snow on snow. Got about 2" up here, just enough to freshen everything up and make my morning commute absolutely miserable this morning (I leave at 4AM for SNJ).

15.2°F here and the ten-day wunderground forecast includes the possibility of snow every day. I can't recall such a forecast in my adult life. It's the winter of my dreams. -
Looks like about 2.5" here. Still snowing very lightly but appears to be tapering off. 31.6°F.
-
Just about an inch up here in Reading so far. Looks like much better radar returns SE of me. Congrats you guys!
