About to get plowed (and Ralph) with the heaviest we've seen...should be cool.

Oh wow, same. What a wonderful early season surprise.

[Rtd208]

Light to moderate snow falling here, dusting to a coating on the colder surfaces.

[Ralph Wiggum]

Old man winter pissed at me and Iceman for our winter outlooks apparently. Just came in from the field and measured 3.2" on the board. Absolutely ripping here!

[BBasile]

Just changed over to sleet.  Will be rain soon.  3.3 inches.  Works for me!

[Hurricane Agnes]

Starting to see pancake flakes.  Intensity has increased.  Temp still 28.

[CoolHandMike]

First pingers here now. Mixing in with big flakes.

[Rtd208]

And boom just like that temp back down to 32 here.

[I Like Snow]

The NWS just updated NE Philly to 3-5"

Woo Hoo!

Yep, easily. And it's not a wet-sloopy snow either...pretty much Januar-ish.

Really getting hammered now....larger flakes as well. 

[RedSky]

Just got the first "what the hell is happening this wasn't forecast" from a family in PA lol

 

[CoolHandMike]

Now all moderate sleet and gusty. Temp shows as 26 now (down from 27).

[Hurricane Agnes]

My sister in Delco (Upper Darby area) is reporting sleet mixing in with the bigger flakes.  Not hearing any pings here in NW Philly yet.

Ping ping - took about 5 minutes to changeover entirely to heavy sleet. Temperature rising slightly, 30.7 degrees in Center City.

[MacChump]

had gone to almost all sleet in Wilmington in the last heavy band, and we are now back to mod snow

edit: pings on my windows, but i'd say about 95% snow

[Rtd208]

Roads and sidewalks starting to cave here. #accumulating.

[ChescoWx]

As of 130 now up to 4.0" in East Nantmeal Twp and still heavy snow...sleet now mixing in - temp down to 27.1

[Hurricane Agnes]

Spoke too soon.  Just started sleeting.  That moved in real quick.  Can hear it up against the windows.  Big flakes still mixed in though.

[Birds~69]

The locations of sleet seem to be all over the place?

Still heavy snow here...no sleet. 27F

[Hurricane Agnes]

All sleet now.  Yikes!  Ran out to measure a couple spots and it was up to about 3.25".  Now it will start compacting with a layer of sleet.  Temp is still 28 (27.7).

[bluehens]

Way over performing my expectations in Wilmington. 

[The Iceman]

Fiance went out to the snowboard at home(hence why shes the fiance ) and said 3 inches at Levittown... didn't expect that at all!

[Ralph Wiggum]

4" now with 2"/hr rates. 

[bridge]

Mixing back in with snow in Center City, still lots of sleet. Temp up to 31.1.

[Birds~69]

Good old CL:

[CoolHandMike]

Looks like maybe some snow juuuust starting to mix back in? Just took a look at the traffic map, all red/deep red. Temp bumped back up to 27 just now.

[Birds~69]

Pinging has started...

[RedSky]

Changed to all snow as my advisory is ending are you kidding me

 

[Prairie Dog]

Three inches, moderate snow, 29 degrees with a 10 MPH northeast wind.   As of 144 PM

[CoastalWx]

Congrats guys!
