Yup. Definitely not the best spot but I’ll be happy with 4 plus. Told my wife to find something in the Catskills yesterday and this is what she went with. I should’ve been more involved but I was crazy at work. We may have to take take a jeb drive tomorrow 

You could still see 8-10 there and hopefully you do.

After a low of 23 now up to 33 with a light east wind picking up.

The new 12z RGEM is almost identical to the 6z Euro, midlevel mixing issues south of Orange/Passaic, nothing at all along and south of 287: https://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php?rh=2024010612&fh=45&dpdt=&mc=&r=us_ne&p=snku_acc-imp&m=rdps

Good morning everyone. As of 09:51 CPK, 35 degrees. As opposed to the park observation, skies over the postage stamp, 8-10 miles south are cloudy. Stay well, as always …

 

[BoulderWX]

Storm moving in early? I’m heading to the poconos at 1 and looks like they’re already getting some good returns in PA

[lee59]

Overcast here for the past few hours. 33.5 degrees.

Enough. No snow south and east of 287. You have been saying it for days.

 

Tomorrow take your victory lap

That map shows 4-5” along 287 lol

[sussexcountyobs]

Are there now 2 obs threads? Or is the new thread the obs thread ?

[Tatamy]

Snow is reaching the ground from the I81/I78 split east of Harrisburg to areas just north and east of Lancaster, PA

[Tatamy]

Walt noted earlier that the intent was to use this thread for obs for the current storm.

Thankyou. That's what I thought.

[allgame830]

32/23 here….. @snowman19if the snow come in like a wall which ALL models show that. Between 287 and 84 will see 3-6/4-8 so just stop! You choose the warmest model and go with it!

[DRVTS]

First few feathery flakes in Norther Putnam co currently.   Seems early.  No virga?

[HVSnowLover]

Taking the advice of minimal expectations. Expect nothing here but white rain to plain rain. Anything else will exceed expectations at this point. 

[wdrag]

Prefer ones here so we can keep this storm as I package

That would help a bit I think if precip arrived earlier than expected. That’s actually probably the only real hope SE of I287. 

[Tatamy]

Snow is getting ready to move into the Reading, PA area.  It never ceases to amaze me how fast these WAA snows move in.  I was figuring a 1PM start here in the Lehigh Valley however at this rate I think it will start by noon.

[Brasiluvsnow]

Is this beginning earlier than originally expected in areas ? Ps anyone have a radar link thanks in advance

[wdrag]

Am on the road but prefer organized as one thread.   Thats been the thread all along. Snowing east of PHL. Probably won’t last long

Do we know what is actually hitting the ground vs virga? It still says doing nothing in Philly.

I am looking at live traffic cameras on the Penndot site.  This is what is actually making it to the ground at the present time.

As per the 5-minute observations, PHL started seeing light snow at 11:11 am. Visibility was 10 miles, so it’s probably flurries.
