Wet snow here and 34 degrees.

Rain here.

Enjoy your prep mixture. Too bad they don't recommend mixing it with vodka, or some other kind of alcohol. That would make the experience better when your shitfaced getting to the bathroom.

After a bitter cold stretch from late January through early February, who doesn't love a welcomed warmup for #ValentinesDay and the days following? Asking for a friend. #PAwx

from NWS this morning: The other tricky aspects of the fcst include: relatively warm boundary layer/road temps, precip rates/banding, onset timing, elevation, and wet bulb effects. Without going to far into the weeds, the key takeaway for this cycle is that odds have increased on the margin for accumulating wet snowfall across south central and particularly southeast PA Sunday afternoon into Sunday night. The largest % chance increase is for areas to the east of I-81 with WPC, RRFS, and NBM showing low to moderate chances (30-50%) of snowfall totals >1 inch. The official NDFD fcst initialized off of the 14/01Z NBM is likely a bit too low at this point and would anticipate/front-run an uptick in POPs and snow amounts to be more in the C-1" range with the next cycle. There is the potential for additional changes to this forecast in the next 12-24 hours so continue to monitor especially for possible early Monday morning commute impacts.

Is it me or is anybody else noticing that the snow cover is getting less, but I don't see any puddles or runoff. It just seems to be evaporating.

Our Climate Watch Fearless Forecast calls for no more than 5 of the next 28 days to feature high temperatures 8º or more below average. And not as dry in Pennsylvania as recent weeks.

Is there any other model support for Sunday? We need an February 1983 repeat

NWS kept updating the amounts during the storm.

I think Harrisburg had that too if my memory serves me correct.

I remember this storm very well. Original forecast was 1-3 than 2-4 till it was all set an done i received 18 inches. I think Harrisburg got 24 inches. There was Thunder and lightning during the storm. February 10-12th, 1983: Called the “Megalopolitan blockbuster snowstorm,” this major snowstorm impacted the Mid-Atlantic and southern New England. Snowfall of up to 25 inches fell in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Snowfall of 35 inches occurred in parts of the Blue Ridge Mountains of West Virginia at Glen Cary. Windsor Locks, Connecticut, recorded a record 19 inches in 12 hours. A ship sunk off the Virginia/Maryland coast, killing 33. There were 46 total storm-related fatalities.

You have to a long talk with mother nature again as it is cloudy all day again. You have to stress to her we need sunshine

Wind now gusting to 34mph.
