Those echoes near 50 dbz are not snow. Mix line stretches from Island Beach State Park to just south of the Delaware Memorial Bridge right now.

RU848789 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yes! We're finally into the green zone, i.e., the 20-25 DBZ zone on the radar. Timed my wakeup pretty good as it was light snow most of the early morning, while I slept. Snowing moderately here since about 5:30 am, when I woke up, with almost 2" on the ground.

Winter Wizard Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 29 degrees, extremely heavy snow falling at the moment - definitely the heaviest of the night so far. Still no sleet here, but according to COD, the changeover line is rapidly pushing towards Wilmington. Temps have been rising very quickly. I'll measure again at 6:00 am.

Gotcha - thanks... using a combination of vendor weather maps and base reflective radar (all I have at the moment) to determine mix line vs. precip rate etc... Those reds creeping up and increased snow and wind here made me think... So that's dangerous ;-) OK back to reading and observing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Center City: 28.6F. Just in the past 15 minutes we've transitioned over to much larger flakes -- I guess that's a sign the atmosphere is warming? Big, wet, pasty flakes coming down now. I'd estimate about 6" on the ground, but that's not an official estimate because I haven't been outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselbug Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Here at work in Swedesboro, NJ (NJTP Exit #2) we are getting heavy snow, mixed with IP. Started mixing 15-20 minutes ago. About 7.5" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 OBS SN Temp 28.0F Winds howling out of the NE Vis is 1 mile so not quite SN+ up here at the moment. Was pouring snow earlier. Hoping the power holds because it still looks like a disaster area around here with the trees and branches that came down last week that are buried in snow and ice. Edit to note what previous posters mentioned - the temp rise. Earlier this morning, the temp was about 24F, so there was a definite warming over the past hour.

Voyager Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Well, I don't think it gets to Tamaqua PHL should start to report mixing any time now. Just wondering, as our local "conservative" TV met, who was forecasting only 4-8 inches as late as the 6:00PM news last night, showed sleet getting into Carbon and Schuylkill Counties.

Haven't gone out to measure yet, but seems as though we have about 5" Heaviest snow the past hour and a half in Lionville One thing about these maps (which I personally don't like, but I don't program them) is that they are actually based on single number input. I.e., if it gets even slightly above 14, it spits out a 14-18 range. So, really they are forecasting probably 14 or 15, but the map is programmed to do certain ranges.
