KamuSnow

Happy birthday to you!!!

Likewise here, temp up to 34F.

Here it's kind of oppositeville, rain looks to be practically on the doorstep, unless it's virga, but temp is all the way up to 33. Last night it appeared it might hold off till noon at least (down here), so it looks early to me. On the temp side it's warmed up pretty well, although dp is 24 so there could be some wet-bulbing, and no doubt the ground is still cold.

The interview referenced in the article was the day before it was published, so actually 2 days before the storm. Here is a link to a post storm analysis done by the NWS which is pretty interesting and informative: https://web.archive.org/web/20160826045414/http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/assessments/pdfs/bz-mrg.pdf

Thanks Ralph! Lol

I don't remember it at all, of course I wasn't reading the Morning Call. I remember being up at 2 am Sunday morning and seeing it starting to snow, and well before that the forecast amounts had been reupped. Forecasts evolve with changing data but you know that.

Coatesville particularly?

Lol...he probably stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Nuts, caramels, cremes, or mixed? I had a box the other day, lol.

The word is out, man.

I know it's not the same but I gave you one to tide you over for now.

Here's hoping! Funny you mention 1978, that's probably the first year I made a big snow pile, mostly because we had 2 big snows 2 weeks apart and didn't have a lot of room. So the pile got high, and I carved an armchair into it. Didn't use it a whole lot however, lol.

Thanks! Yeah, too windy and cold for a kettle fire tonight, even though it's Friday night! We had one last night, sort of becoming a pre-snow tradition for the time being. Finally came inside around midnight after an hour or so of virga, but it wasn't too long afterwards that we got flakes.

Thanks, lol. I think it will survive this coming week, Sunday will shrink it a little, but doesn't look like a whole lot of rain, nor too much of a warm up. Maybe we'll get some more snow to build on it with!?!

I'm inside (for a change, lol) so I didn't see anything. There's sites for those kind of observations where you can make a report or just check to see if any similar sightings have occurred in your area/region. I used it a few years ago for a fireball, didn't actually see it but we were on our front porch late in the evening and something lit the ground up like full moonlight, and besides the fact that there was minimal moonlight, we saw the shadow of our chimney and roof moving across the lawn, lol. I checked and that's what it was, a fireball. Here's a link to one site: https://www.amsmeteors.org/

If I may interject some belated observations etc. from last night's snowfall... Wound up with 4.1" here, within the forecast range, but exceeded my expectations due to the middle finger (subsidence zone) showing up on most of the mesoscale model runs. I totally enjoyed the snow. What a change from recent weather. Looks and feels like winter! Here is the baby snow pile, not very big but it does cast a shadow:

Still pretty cool though, especially if there wasn't already snow on the ground. I remember (when I was very young) waking up during the night and seeing the ceiling lit up from fresh snow outside (probably still snowing), and you knew, lol. Much excitement!

Stating the obvious (to some, lol), but there is something very pleasing about staying up for an overnight snowfall, especially the 1st one of the season. Time for a nap now, since things are winding down here. Guessing about 3.5" but I'll measure later. Good stuff!

Lol and don't get distracted when your school district finally comes around. This last band is producing, heavy snow here now, probably the heaviest rates of the night : -). 28F at the moment.

Measured 2.0" a little while ago, looks like one more decent band to go before it starts to wind down here. Tree with lights looks nice in the snow I think:

Thank you! Think you're right about a couple more hours (of the heavier snow at least). This is what I have from Dover on COD radar site. Looks good for now!

Thanks! How about LWX? (lol)

Nice! Can you show Dover?

Still moderate snow here, 30F. Just shy of an inch on the ground so far. Radar looks decent!

Looks like the coastal has taken over as they say:

The discussion is a good read, especially if you like snow! (You might need to squint to read it from this image, haha):
