No idea what thread to post this looking at the sub forum but ummm did any of you look at the 0z NAM? I have family in SJ. This could be a pretty big deal. Do you have a Feb 20 thread? I didn’t see it.

We've been noticing it, lol. It's raining here, one thing at a time you know. Iceman can get right back on the horse tomorrow and start a thread.

Fields out here are looking like swamps!  How much more rain can the ground stand? Hope we really do get a drier weather pattern before planting season.

That's because it is a swamp this year, most of SJ to be fair is swamp area... The rain is off the charts and I don't see this pattern ending any time soon. Most storms end in rain and this will be no different...

Just got a Winter Storm Watch, what's up with that?  Another 180 on model output today?  It going to rain after it snows.  Not sure how that will meet any storm criteria? 

Driving will be very hazardous during morning rush for you folks in the Delaware Valley and probably evening rush. At least a couple inches of snow will then change to sleet and/or freezing rain. You will not see much “regular” rain at all.

Thursday will be warmer but it will take a while.

Well last night went from snow to sleet to nightmare. Woke up and all windows were covered in ice.....trees.....roads...etc. Ground was cold so it took until noon for the few moments of sun to ease the pain of getting out of the elevations. Decent icing event for sure.  Kids tried walking around outside and it was like a skating rink along the driveway and road.

Of course the ride down to the tunnel on the PA TPK was spent dodging sheets of flying ice from cars and trucks.  

As for the next event....saw the watches go up.....I will believe it when the snow is piling up on the cabin cam.

That's Phila. Flower Show week.  Always tends to be some sort of weather drama during that time (either just before or during). :lol:   For a few years, they were running it the last week of February and kept running into snow storms so they moved it to March and it has been hit or miss.  This year it is starting a bit "earlier" in March and.... :P

Not to take away from any wintry weather we are currently getting but the storm this weekend could pack a punch. The NWS is highlighting the chance of heavy rain Saturday night/Sunday with strong to possibly damaging winds (damaging per Mt.Holly) Sunday but especially on Monday.

Finally got chance to read the AFD.  The winds will be bad news given that they will be coming after the forecast of heavy rains on Saturday.  With the saturated ground and warm temps thawing any leftover snow and the top layers of the soil, there may be some trees uprooted.
