jrodd321 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Blue lights flashing in the sky as transformers blow here in the Villanova area. Luckily we've got power still. 3" so far, 32F, moderate SN now. Breezy. Got about 3.5" on the ground and 5" on the grass here in Nova. It was sticking to the grass since 9 this morning and total was definitely not inflated by the typical grass measurement. Cleared an area right next to it and it went all the way to the ground on the grass. Just cut my grass too yesterday before the storm. What a storm. October 29th. Unreal. And Isotherm this is for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 3.2 here. I think we're about done. I don't see us cracking 4" even with steady light snow the next 2 hours. Very impressive, and a good forecast by you from your website. (2-5" range) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombo82685 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 It looks like around 3.5 to 4 ". Lancaster Ave. is a mess.We luckely still have power. Snow's starting to pick up again after slowing down for a while. Thanks...thought they would do alright with the elev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny and Warm Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 3.2 here. I thought you guys from Pottstown to Graterford would have done better in this storm. Amazing what 25 miles can do in marginal setups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsley Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I thought you guys from Pottstown to Graterford would have done better in this storm. Amazing what 25 miles can do in marginal setups. 200 ft. elevation FTL. I know from driving north of Limerick earlier today they easily had 2x as much by noon. I bet places like Gilbertsville and Boyertown were closer to 6" Oh, and I'm not complaining about 3.5" of snow. In my mind, I thought I'd get about 3" tops here.

Amazingly it was all snow here in Graterford, it just didn't accumulate quickly for the first 2-3 hours. Temps. hovered close to 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 No idea what my house got but I'm guessing a solid 8 or so inches. Heavy snow is still falling but looks to end soon based on the radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Isotherm this is for you! I live like 10ish miles from there and have around a inch lol. This storm is really something. I pretty sure accumulations are done here in IMBY haven't seen much over the past 1 or 2 hours seems like its melting faster then its falling. I am really looking foward to this setup, sans the dry slot, in December, January and February. Should be a fun winter (hopefully). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phlwx Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I thought you guys from Pottstown to Graterford would have done better in this storm. Amazing what 25 miles can do in marginal setups. I'm only at 175' in elevation. I won't fare well in this although a guy with a slanted ruler and a slush pile probably measured around Collegeville earlier. 200 ft. elevation FTL. I know from driving north of Limerick earlier today they easily had 2x as much by noon. I bet places like Gilbertsville and Boyertown were closer to 6" Oh, and I'm not complaining about 3.5" of snow. In my mind, I thought I'd get about 3" tops here. Yep...I know a lot of Gilbertsville and Pottsgrove are w/o power or were at one point. Not fun once you get up Swamp Pike.

jrodd321 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I live like 10ish miles from there and have around a inch lol. This storm is really something. Yep every inch away from the city meant everything this storm. I just drove my gf home in souther delco in Aston and it was wet/lightly snowing on the blue route. The second I hit the wayne/conshohocken area on my way back it was heavy snowing/roads completely covered and everything. Elevation around Nova is a lot better than surroundings areas as well which really helped as you can see with Isotherm's total as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeEater Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Will the winds be picking up? Wind advisory down here is until midnight, been out since 8am. It's windy down here, but not horribly bad. If you haven't seen major wind yet, you probably won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do, that's not giving an accurate report of where you're really at. If he's near Harleysville, he's even further away than Collegeville.

My brother had around 5 inches in skippack twp near harleyville And, that's is totally legit b/c Harleysville is 350-450 ft. We are roughly 200 ft lower in elevation and nowhere in Collegeville area that I am aware of has elevation over 400 ft. All we are saying is 5+" in Collegeville is not a good representation of what fell in our area/elevation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would someone call in with a Harleysville total and say they live in Collegeville? my brother did not call in that total. My point was that if you have a collegeville address, you may not live in the town. the same hold true for Edison, NJ. We have 70 sq miles in the twp, third biggest in NJ for a city or something.
