Yes it was, and forecast totals should still verify. The coastal is just getting going now so precip should fill in for the Philly area in the next hour or two.
Moderate snow in Allentown, all surfaces covered. Looks like we could get dryslotted here in a bit, models had it filling pretty quickly so we’ll see what happens.
Later start time is no bueno…I was hoping for an Eagles game where the field is white for the entire game. Might have to settle for just the second half.
The NAM continues to poke random holes in the precip shield like Swiss cheese so it’s hard to take its precip output seriously. The 3km is much more reasonable.
I said 4-8” as a first call for the Lehigh Valley yesterday and that’s still looking perfect. I’d be very surprised if ABE ended up outside of that range.
I’m not buying the late arrival of precip on the NAM. It has been doing some weird stuff with the precip field for the last few runs. The 3km looks much more reasonable.
