White rain in Allentown, not sticking to anything so far.

Bypassed the rain and started as snow in Allentown. Steady light snow currently falling.

Second heavy squall of the day in Bath. Everything is covered with a nice coating of snow.

Bath, PA...just went out to my car and it’s covered in ice. Luckily the drive home from work is 95% on treated roads.

Steady light snow at work in Bath, PA. Dusting on the deck.

How’s the Mt. Pocono area looking? Up in the higher spots around 1,700. 

I’d say you guys are good for mostly snow from this. 3-6” and some freezing rain tomorrow morning. Models have been trending colder, they even keep Allentown mostly frozen now with a burst of heavy snow at the beginning.

Light snow in Allentown. Not sticking to anything. Few more hours to go by the looks of the radar, maybe we can get a coating to an inch out of this.

Check out the 12z 3km NAM and match it up to the current radar. It’s not even close. Especially in Tennessee and Kentucky.

It is RAINING in Allentown, just to add insult to injury.

Just got to my work in Bath and at least it’s snowing there. Coating on some grassy areas.

It is RAINING in Allentown, just to add insult to injury.

Snow struggling to find its way to the Lehigh Valley. Just a few flurries so far.

Honestly though, the RGEM and HRRR are worrying me a little. Went from warning criteria snow to a possible bust, just like that. Hopefully it means nothing and the models are just being silly...

Don't look at the latest HRRR...

12z models are pretty consistent with a very heavy band of snow somewhere in eastern PA or western NJ tomorrow.

Sleeting hard in Allentown right now. 30F.

Can someone explain how the NAM brings virtually zero precip to SE PA with the low placement it has?

12z Euro looks juicy. CCB right over I-95 from Philly to NYC.

Heavy bands seem to be taking a hard right turn before they get to the Lehigh Valley. Oh well, can't complain...we'll likely stay all snow for this. The question is, how long will it last? Unless we see backbuilding, the moderate/heavy stuff might end by midnight.

You still look to be a good distance from this! Still all rain here no pingers no snow.

 

Yeah that's true. I'm glad we're staying all snow for this storm.

Rain rates down here have been between 0.15 and 0.25" per hour, just as a reference.  

Yeah, that's pretty good. Hope they don't pivot east...

Snow has let up slightly in Allentown. Won't be long before those bands to the south get here, though. Gonna be some good 1-2"/hr rates in them.

Your what? Can't even grasp basic English and your calling others morons. Then again you specialize in irony since you bitch every storm about everyone else. maybe check the mirror mother ****er.

To be fair...you used "you're" wrong too

Snowing pretty good here in Allentown. Finally getting the inch per hour rates. Coming up on 3".

Let's keep pushing that line back -- actually have snow mixing back in with the sleet for the moment...

Line seems to have stalled out for the moment. Probably will keep inching north eventually but I don't think it gets much farther north than the turnpike.

Mod/heavy snow in Allentown. Haven't measured but looks like an inch, maybe a little more?

Back edge is in Columbus, OH...this could last awhile.
