whew...

[mike2010]

you forgot this one in '08 sonny ,

[LVblizzard]

whew...

If the NAM verifies, I will run naked through my neighborhood and videotape it.

[Boch23]

you forgot this one in '08 sonny ,

So this is what the nam would look like if it happened

[NaoPos]

And for KPHL:

ZOINKS!

[mike2010]

So this is what the nam would look like if it happened

I was gonna mention that.

You could be right.. Biggest problem is a lot of your leaves are still up there.

We didnt have power for 3 days because of that one.. sooo many trees down.

when they stick on the leaves = very bad.

[Parsley]

you forgot this one in '08 sonny ,

How much was that!

[tombo82685]

And for KPHL:

ZOINKS!

nice VV'S issue is they are above the optimum snow growth region... Everyone can basically agree on this for i95 region this is going to be dynamically driven and elev will help

[LVblizzard]

18z GFS is west. Track is similar to the NAM, no insane QPF amounts though. Bummer! Looks like all snow for the Philly burbs and NW as they stay in the low-mid 30s.

[mike2010]

How much was that!

My mind's a blank right now, but I believe 14 inches.

The reason it looked worse is because of so much sticking on the leaves...it was a huge power mess.

Jersey will have probably worse issues if these models verify.

[tombo82685]

twisterdatas snow map through hr 54

[Parsley]

My mind's a blank right now, but I believe 14 inches.

Insane.

[famartin]

you forgot this one in '08 sonny ,

If you were talking to me Mike... Tobyhanna hasn't had official obs for quite a while, so no official data was available from 2008.

philly goes over between hr 51-54...temps from 925 down are warm...30 miles outside of the cities

[cast4]

whew...

Wow, that's some strong UVV. Maybe some thundersnow?

This run's still a monster for locations just inland.

[tombo82685]

philly goes over between hr 51-54...temps from 925 down are warm...30 miles outside of the cities its a squirrel acorn crusher

[tombo82685]

Wow, that's some strong UVV. Maybe some thundersnow?

id like to see the Uv's in the 750-650 zone, they are to focused above the optimum snow growth region

[tombo82685]

someone better fire up the amateur weenie snow map thread

[NaoPos]

Havent heard from ya in 2 days, and you come in with an iron fist of fire! lol.

[tombo82685]

[tombo82685]

Havent heard from ya in 2 days, and you come in with an iron fist of fire! lol.

girlfriend ftw lol

[NaoPos]

HM on his facebook page:

"Also, during the snowstorm, expect thundersnows to occur with snow rates of 1-3 inches per hour across Se PA into Southern New England."

[cast4]

Yeah it's not in -12 to -18. But I am not expecting very good ratios lol.
