Ralph Wiggum Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Heaviest snow in a long time. Closing in on 5" in Warminster, Bucks County. Are we expecting the mix line to make it up this way still? RUC maps suggest it should have been mixing 2 hours ago. Expecting 8-14" total when all is said and done.

FUCK JOE BIDEN Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I think its their overall structure, spruces tend to have shorter branches that just don't hold the snow the way those long, widespreading white pine branches do. Really easy to break those off. Usually the main trunk survives unscathed. Spruces are thicker and more conical so the snowpack stays on the outer part of the limbs and can't buildup on the whole branch. White pines are by far the weakest wood in structure and the limbs can accumulate a lot of snow due to the 5 needle pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96blizz Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 NWS Mt. Holly IMBY went from: "Around a half inch" to... "1 to 2 inches" in a SWS to... "1 to 3 inches" to, most recently... "2 to 4 inches"... Looking at the short range models and NAM, I can imagine the current 4-8" for tonight will bust as well. More than that, looking at the ULL, I have to imagine it will bust bad (well, maybe the 8" part might hold serve...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Wiggum Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Not sure why my totals are being doubted....I never inflate them and I've been around long enough on the boards to know how to measure on my snowboard (table). But whatever, I'm at 5" now here: Anyone think the mix line makes it back to Central Bucks Co?? RUC claims we should be sleeting by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersWx92 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 A lot of the ones around my parents were wrecked pretty well on Feb 10th last year. A few I know had literally half their branches sheared off.... Yeah same here. One pine tree in my neighbor's yard across the start completely collapsed from all the snow from that storm. Was pleasantly surprised to wake up to heavy snow here. It's been literally like a whiteout...just pouring snow. Roads must be awful. Can't measure at the moment but looks be a couple of inches already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96blizz Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Any reports on whether that band headed towards SE PA is snow or sleet? W/ echoes like that near the transition zone, I would think sleet, but this thing seems full of fun surprises... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief83 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Great little pre- main event. BUT - I see no excuse for the way the roads were at 7 AM. Last night we were discussing some of the short term models had 2" in SE PA by 9 AM. I was out on vehicle accident calls and didn't see one salt truck. Roads were a total mess. You could see on radar at 1 AM we were going to get it. Doesn't anyone (highway crews) watch what we do on this forum?????? Looks like about 4" so far here in Worcester, PA. 30 degrees. I am a little surprised to see the next event in Ken, WV. I tought it would be more on the coast down toward VA/NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billabong Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Measured 4.25" across the snow board and still ripping here in Horsham in eastern Montgomery County. I thought maybe 2" or so with this first band..... i'm in complete shock right now. 30.0°F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
