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.

That’s exactly how we roll in a normal winter. Clipper light 1-3” event followed by coastal storm development 4” or more!

So 23 years ago 2002? Interesting tibit then let’s see what happens? I can see it happening for sure! The available data indicates that 1.1 inches of snow fell on Christmas Day 2002. More specifically regarding December 2002: On December 5th, 0.44 inches of precipitation was recorded during a heavy snow event. Around the Christmas holiday, Philadelphia experienced a total of 1.4 inches of new snow accumulation, with the snow changing to rain at times.

Partly sunny 36f like Shazam any ice snow gone!!! Like it was a dream! Steam rising from roof tops and cars. 0.02” of snow and 0.01” of freezing rain / drizzle VICTORY!!! And it’s only December 6th what can go wrong.

Damm warm tongue of air off the Atlantic it’s back!!!

Here's to Ralph!! Yes 250 more of these events. Currently cloudy 29f humidity 63% dewpoint 19f light NNE winds very light snow car topper in progress barely 0.01" of snow today now we are on the board after a trace last weekend. Total snowfall this year 0.01"

Clearly someone that is bored with dry and cold and near misses to the north and south and needs something to talk about before his rating base leaves him from boredom and enjoys the Holidays without snow! Welcome to La Nina Winter! Nothing is really exciting me but at least we have the first ingredient running around the cold. Guess we better start stirring up the southern jet stream soon if the northern dominant stream allows it.

Community Come on now we know this is coming north! It’s been a while look a cold high up north and the cold air daming wedge is in place! Hello old friend! Let’s go!!! I like December 5th and 9th especially the 9th.

wow look at that we actually have a cold high up north I am intrigued now / cold air daming too been a while since we have seen the wedge!

Yea we suck! Welcome to the Winter of 2025-2026 off to a Great Start! At least drought guy is happy about this quick hitter like shazam and outta here! I mean 10" of snow today in 9 hours would have been awesome!
