Yes it is very interesting to watch it happen. Definitely having trouble getting heavier bands north and west of nj from the main the coastal low, but there are concurrently areas in central Pa that are doing better than expected in that persistent convergence band from Hagerstown to north of State College, who is interestingly under a wsw. .

Just 20 minutes since my last post, Snow is picked up and intensity and starting to accumulate more substantially on the grass and starting on the paved surfaces. Trying to nowcast this is still difficult looking at the radar. .
-
Light snow and 33 here in the sw LV. Just starting to dust non-paved surfaces. I have a feeling I’m going to be rather jealous of the snow totals coming out of Jersey tonight!

I think you being further east would be closer to 8” in Tatamy and I would be closer to 4” in Macungie. There is a “that’s what she said” joke somewhere in there. [emoji3]

I have dropped from 36.8 to 35.1 and have wet snow flakes again.
-
Nothing crazy but some nice steady banding setting up in central PA. Wonder if places like State College or Altoona do better than forecasted?
-
I do not think it is unreasonable to be highly skeptical of the NWS forecast for the Lehigh Valley. 10-20” is wishcasting. 4-8” is much more reasonable in my opinion.
-
Same here in the Lehigh Valley. .
-
I’m not sure we’re in a nowcast timeframe yet.

This may be the widest range of forecasts I have seen for a snowstorm in quite some time up here in the Lehigh Valley. The NWS is all in at 10-20”. The Weather Channel is basically out - 4-6”. AccuWeather splits the difference at 6-10”. Local meteo at WFMZ is all in as well at 8-14”.
-
Hope you’re right! Definitely one of the warmer big storm setups.
-
You make a good point. The more I look at this the more I realize the bust potential here is enormous, both inland and in the jackpot area closer to the coast. I really do not think the models take the warm temperatures into account. Even here in the LV we may not hit 32 as a low. The coast has a high likelihood of not dropping below the mid 30s. Sure, it will snow and accumulate, but what will the ratios be?
-
Freehold, NJ is my guess. I worry about the beach towns getting started later with accumulating snows when winds turn from off the water to the north as air temps are much warmer with this storm. I think central NJ does best and starts cutting dramatically NW. I feel my area of the Lehigh Valley is 6-10”.

Excellent, yeah, the B’s have so many moving components, especially the handoff between the primary and the new coastal that it makes it so difficult. Although we certainly have cashed in with both over the years, and have had much heartbreak with both! -

So this looking like a classic Miller A, correct? The Miller A’s are easier to forecast and conceptualize. -

This cannot be my imagination, light ZR here near Allentown. A light glaze on cleaned surfaces. Didn’t even think it was remotely possible at 12°. What a weird storm. -

100%! 8 hours too late. -

If only this was all snow! 2 ft for sure. Having trouble rectifying all sleet at 9 degrees for hours. -

I was all snow for a minute and now all sleet. We are the diving line up here in the LV. . -

I work along the 22 corridor in the LV. For a second, it looked like it was going back to snow, but it is solidly sleet at this point with no flakes. -

75% sleet with some flakes, then 25% sleet and mostly snow and reverted back to sleet. I wonder if the LV is the battleground for the mixline. -

Here in southwestern Lehigh County, snowing, but starting to get the occasional dreaded ping mixed in. Still only 10° here and we have to be closing in on 10-11” as I prepare to go to work. -

You just had to go with a 6-7 joke…. [emoji3] -

Man that sleet line came charging north. I still think it makes all the way to Blue Mountain, perhaps gets into the southern Poconos. Never doubt a still primary low coming up the Appalachians. Always a changeover, no matter what the surface temps are. . -

No official measurement as I just took the dog out but at least 5” and 9.6 F. Wish the coastal was off the coast another 50 miles!
