Not at all.

For myself, if it doesn't stick on pavements/roads , still alright but kinda meaningless. However during the holidays I'll take any sort of snow...just seeing it fall along w/the lights is pretty cool.

If you want stickage this is last thing you want. Overnight would be more ideal for any sort of accumulation...

I'm probably wierd in this respect, but I get more enjoyment out of seeing the snow fall0

than how much if any accumulates. Age I guess, although I've got a tractor/loader so accumulation is not really a problem.

Looks to me that by late afternoon we may end up with only an inch or two of additional snow accumulation due to a possible period of rain. In any case I'm going to enjoy another round of snow coming during daylight hours. This has been a great winter in that respect.

All correct, except one thing: Kuchera maps in THIS storm were actually more reasonable, including on NAM. 

On the Nam or GFS,  looking at the "positive snow depth change" usually is much more realistic but not as fun to look at.

Yeah but the WAA snows way overperformed to make up for it. We were all sleet in levittown 30 mins ago but not have changed back to 50/50 snow sleet. The sleet is accumulating quickly too. Up to 7" in Levittown. Curious how I'm doing up in Hopewell. My guess is 4-5". Haven't set up a webcam to my snowboard like ray yet.... That's next year's project

Your sounds about right. I'm about 10 miles north of you and measured 3.5",with very little sleet. Being north was no advantage, I missed out on the thump this morning.

Snow/sleet mix.  3.5" snow.  24F

related to Ji ?

3" so far. Moderate/heavy snow.  24F

At least at my location the yellow band on Cod radar was just a result of big flakes, not higher rates. Bummer.

heavy snow now and about to get into the yellows. Should be fun.  1.75"

Moderate snow with nice sized flakes but only 1" so far.  22F

Lgt/mod snow with small flakes.  O.5".   22F

It’s mid levels yes but there is usually a mid level warm layer when we have a storm.  I’m going to simplify this but I feel it’s an accurate summary. There almost has to be a warm layer because it’s WAA as the wave approaches that is the primary impetus for precip. The warm air is lifted over the denser cold and that lift creates the precip. But warm is relative to normally very cold air at those levels. Rising air cools and condenses so it’s cooling as it rises. So long as that mid level “warm” layer stays just below freezing it’s ok.  But what happens if EVERYTHING is say 2 degrees warmer then it used to be?  Then a “warm” layer that was -1 is now +1 and the mix line just jumped 50 miles north!  

great explanation!  Thanks

Whatever falls Thursday AM will be ripping into the afternoon. And yes, there's a slight signal for some thunder across central MD between 18-22z. Looks like fun 

How are you doing down there in Texas?

34" to date. Sure beats last winter.

2.5" here.

I post on 4 different forums - but this one is the most laid back - the others all have some drama based on mods....

When you don't even need a moderator you know it's laid back. Lol.  This is a great subforum. I think Ant agrees, since he's posting here alot.

7". I'm happy. 

6.75 and still coming down pretty good.  Will easily go over 7".

5.0".  What a great event!

Looks like the last couple of hours the rate has been 2.5 - 3.0 in/hr.

3.5" with mod snow

heavy snow with huge flakes. 2.25" so far.

Light snow just started.  33F
