Yea White Christmas is essentially dead outside of Kamu’s lingering snow pile. I could see some localized street flooding and stream rises from the next system Thursday into Friday. 11 degrees this morning in Media. Currently 22f with a 12f dewpoint identical numbers from 24 hours ago. Snowpack doing its refrigerator thing.

I think what he means is a northwesterly flow turning more west-northwesterly aloft with winds turning southwesterly and overriding the cold air at the surface. Oh, and we are on the far southwestern edge of the cold air that is slowly being eroded from the west in time.

Mood flakes have arrived here in Media with a slight dusting on all surfaces. Officially a trace today 22f humidity 75% 16f All snow showers moving NW to SE across the area.

Residual warmth from the River keeping temps .4 to .7 degrees higher literally maybe kept the snow wetter more compacting I suppose?

partly cloudy with 6.5" of new snow, windy gusting to 30-35 mph temp: 19f dew point 12f It's going down tonight Total Snow: 6.5" Total Snow Year: 6.8"

A few left over flakes sun has made an appearance. 30f humidity 96% dew point 29f snow total: 6.5” snow total for the year: 6.8” power out unfortunately

Power outages here

Moderate to heavy snow 32f humidity 97% dew point 32f Total 5.1” I’m starting to get concerned about power outages trees are really loaded. See some reports of power outages on ring bell around here within a few miles

Moderate to heavy snow huge flakes. 32f humidity 96% dew point 32f closing in on 5” trees are absolutely loaded wires sagging. You cannot see through the trees walls of white.

Moderate Snow all surfaces covered except paved but beginning to cave. 33f humidity 77% dew point 26f

Snow picking up in intensity that was pretty quick temp still 35f dewpoint 25f car tops and grass caving.

Light snow has begun in Media 35f dewpoint 25f Right on schedule to the minute lol

That looks like a cold front? Temp here has fallen to 34f now down from 40f dewpoint from 26f to 24f wind has shifted NNE at 9 mph.

Cloudy first flakes a few flurries at the moment 36f dewpoint 25f so I guess zero rain here let the games begin! Looks like though dry air punching in from the southwest so these flakes are just temporary as everything is pulling off to the northeast. Drove up from Delaware along Route 202 to Pyle Road to Foulk Road saw the first flakes along that route as well and continued till I go home in Media.

Clipper energy transfer to the coast lift convergence northwest of the developing low then rapidly pull away to the east-northeast. Where the Convergence sets up before collapsing southeast and east will be the areas that get a quick 4-5”.

Yea could be the storm is slowing down a bit and drawing in more moisture off the Atlantic or the models are picking up on the best lift and convergence which to me may be more likely with a squeeze effect out of all the available moisture. This will be fun to see unfold.

I mean that’s correct the average Will probably be 1-3” southeast Pa along 95 some lucky sole picks up 3-4” Lansdale Quakertown my under over is 1.1” north of there it drops off inch or less see what ratios can do? This is no power house it’s a fast mover with zero blocking that pops when it hits the coast then races away out to sea and replaced with sun and wind. it’s not the first time we’ve seen a system like this. The max potential really for the best favored locations is around 3 possibly 4”.

Model bounce has begun Euro up big runs tonight! I’ll say 3-4” or do max 5” isolated areas.

Way way north of other models cha cha cha lol

Coating made it all the way to Media 9-9:30 am.

All rain here high today 39f picked up 0.27" of rain. Currently 35f with a 34f dew point. After today's storm I am officially very interested in what the Euro is selling for us on Saturday Night into Sunday.

Wait what happened to my foot of sleet!!!??? Damn!!

No because the Sunday system is needed to bring the cold and set up the baroclinic zone for coastal storm development.
