A few small flakes dancing in the streetlights here in National Park NJ
-
steady light snow continues in National Park NJ across from PHL…..yard snowpack refreshing and snow making inroads on my street working it’s way in from the curbs. Not a terrible start in spite of the dry air.

Phl going to do very well with this today
It’s gonna be close with this dry air and latest modeling has the ivt just south….I think northeast Maryland does better than my location of National Park NJ across from PHL. Fighting the fizzle for now but dp and rh have been dropping as the first round of steady light snow gained a foothold last 35 minutes

Hoping for 4”. Wouldn’t be at all surprised to only see 2-3”, but feeling good for some reason. Meh
A lot riding on Mt Holly’s ratio rationale…..
My reaction to that part of the afternoon AFD….

If we only get an inch in the warning zone, at least it will be a disappointment worthy of the term.

Atlantic City recently experienced a 50 mph wind gust. At 6:54 pm 1 NNE Bethel, DE registered a 64 mph wind gust.
I’m in AC at the Hard Rock hotel….even by 5pm small branches were coming down on the one side street I cut across and loose construction signs were taking flight. Surf was definitely up 90 minutes ago when I poked my head out on the deck near the buffet.

Clouds are beginning to take over. We hit 75°F on the dot, now down to 74.3. It's actually pretty dry out there, DP is only 40. Recorded a 23mph wind gust a little while ago though.
Almost seems like there could be a dry line in the mix to help ignite things.

Understood. But don't they use different language out west, like "Winter Storm Warning for elevations 5000 feet and above, Winter Weather Advisory for elevations 3000-5000 feet". As an example. You probably wouldn't ever issue a Winter Storm Warning for the entirety of Clark County Nevada since it's so large and includes Las Vegas.
Seems like it might be something for NWS to consider for this area when we have scenarios like this one. Or would our counties be too small to make those distinctions?
Half of the non weather population struggles to remember what county they are in, I guarantee you hardly any are aware of what specific elevation they are at in this part of the country. It is a weird communication dynamic for sure.
I live in south Jersey but often work in Union county…3 coworkers live in Sussex county. When I relay the latest forecast evolution I always mention “higher amounts for the hill people….you know who you are.”
And they do lol.

Lurking in y’all subforum to help a friend in Macomb Michigan track this….any Michigan posters have any local tv meteorologists you recommend? My friend isn’t completely weather illiterate but doesn’t track stuff like we do. Good luck to you all and thanks for the information.

Wind starting to pick up and the light fluffy nature of the snow is making it difficult to get a good measurement. Averaged around 2.5” measuring in multiple spots across the yard away from roofs and trees. 3” including this mornings snow. My snowboard is useless tonight though lol I think we are in good shape to hit warning criteria down here with the HRRR not tapering things off until noon tomorrow. I think between 2-6 am should see our heaviest stuff though or it may just be this steady .5”/hr stuff though until it lightens up. All in all pretty good storm so far down here. Would love to hear more reports down on SNJ. They look to be getting slammed. Definitely on track for my expectations of 6” though. I definitely recommend taking a night walk which I may do in a few hours. Feels like SNE powdah storm. I’m enjoying this one so far. Chasing just doesn’t have the same memorability as experiencing it in your backyard. No knock to anyone that chases though, different strokes for different folks.
Normally I’d agree but down here at Hard Rock Casino in AC I’ve been in moderate to heavy for a while, drifting, sideways snow….snow accumulations right to the crashing surf. Wouldn’t trade this one for playing the fringe game at home again.

There are no miracles my friend. Embrace the defeat. We'll get the next one. Hopefully we get some blocking up in here.
Don’t come a knocking if the ‘Lantic ain’t a blocking.

I'm not even gonna lie, I'm almost a bottle of wine deep. It's glorious. And I'm doing my taxes. Two things that shouldn't be done simultaneously.
If this suite produces a miracle you’ve set a precedent….wine and taxes to save every threat. Need to crack open a vintage closed 500h.

For more uplifting news, I’m scheduled for a rectal tomorrow morning.
How much for Philly?

Seems like a solid northerly component to our wind so far….probably 0.2” in National Park NJ across from PHL

for a rainstorm? Lol
If an inversion doesn’t kill it….could be a period of 50mph+ in much of the state.

Total Solar Eclipse, April 8, 2024
in New England

Aiming for that area myself but can’t leave until 5pm Sunday after I work. No idea what to expect traffic wise. Got a toddler with us so not sure just pushing through without a sleep stop is in the cards.
