I played a little when I was younger, but not so much as a youngster. It was the Flyers who got me and a lot of others interested. I was around for the 1974 Stanley Cup, and it was just awesome. Philly sports in general had been on a bad run for years, and they captured lightning in a bottle. People (not Flyers fans, lol) make a big deal out of the Broad Street bullies aspect, but they had talent. I remember leaving a Phillies game during the Flyers playoffs, and everyone was singing "B-B-B-Bernie and the nets" to the tune of Elton John's "Bennie and the Jets", such a good time. People in Philly knew they had something special, but I think elsewhere people were surprised that they won. I was in Montreal during the summer and people told me they were rooting for the Flyers after Montreal got knocked out, probably cuz they didn't want the Bruins to win, lol. That was the beginning of a nice run for our teams culminating in 1980 when all 4 teams made it to their respective championships. 2 out of 4 that year wasn't bad, although I was still heartbroken when the Islanders beat the Flyers in game 7 on a goal that looked offsides. P.S. Bernie was referring to Bernie Parent, who was one of the best goalies of his time. They won the 6th and deciding game against Boston 1-0 (at home!). I can still picture the winning goal, a shot from the point that dipped and Rick Macliesh had his stick down on the ice and tipped it up over the goalies shoulder. Lol, that's my trip down memory lane, thanks for the inspiration!

Nice video Tony! I enjoyed all of it, thank you!

Getting some bigger flakes lazily floating down. Might even pick up a redusting on colder surfaces at this rate.

Getting light snow here now. Nice.

28.4" so far in Elam, PA.

Very light snow here too, dust on crust like you said. Better than melting off. Trees and bushes have a nice glaze on them. 32F.

Lol...and posts asking about weenie tags are pretty much a lock.

See above post - good timing!

4.3" frozen measured today, compacted to about 3 1/4". Pretty dense, and mostly sleet. Kinda cool for shovelling at 1st, but it does get you tired. Had some freezing rain mixed in at the end, and getting freezing drizzle now. All in all very enjoyable and things look great outside!

I like that it's random, although not totally random. There's probably a criteria for what gets a tag vs not.

It's giant flakes and lots of them, with a little sleet for good measure.

1.8" of granular goodness here, 26F. Small flakes now with a little sleet mixed in. Been flipping back and forth. All snow would be nice but it's beautiful out and still snowing mostly, what's not to like! I just shoveled a path on the driveway and it was like shovelling sugar, lol. Congrats to those getting heavy snow!

And encouraging! Back to mostly snow here now, had the sequence in reverse - sleet to big flakes and now decent rates of normal sized flakes.

It's interpolated based on educated guesses as to what temperatures are at 850mb, 700mb, etc. Gotta go by observations.

That's great news!

Went over to sleet here about 15 minutes ago, after 0.8" of snow. Just noticed a few flakes mixing back in. 26F currently. I'm ok with the sleet as long as we can get a nice 3 or 4" layer. Here's hoping!

Here is a snapshot of the Correlation Coefficiency radar. The yellows are probably the sleet line. Good luck people!

A PennDOT plow just went up the hill, with his blade down. Warms the heart, lol. It's a good winter when the plows are out regularly.

Don't know how long this will last, but holy mother of pearl, heavy snow now. Vis. under 600 ft. Nice!

If you extend that lower white line from Wilmington back through Delaware, that's about where the sleet line is on the CC radar .

Moderate rates pretty quickly!

Just started snowing in earnest here, instant dusting on the driveway. Yay! And come on snow!!!

Not so sure, reading MA forum obs, it's sleeting in Baltimore.

I will do my best!

Just looked at the CC radar, there's a blob moving in from the WSW that appears to have sleet in it. Hope I can stay on the north side of the sleet.
