I have a Question?... it almost had an appearance of an elongated norlun trough?  

 It is completely different. This was via very strong/deep frontogenesis in combination with upper level jet dynamics.

Sounding like 20:1 ratios in the death band which explains the #'s we saw guidance qpf was fairly accurate.

 

Yup the massive upward motion in that band that interesected the DGZ coupled with deep saturation resulted in much higher SLRs.

RedSky’s living the dream this weekend!

Two alerts on my phone, unfortunately nothing but sun here :(

The dream is somewhat tarnished because of the big numbers to my north, and the night snow but yeah it's fun. The squall was better than the 5" hour because I could see it, can't emphasize enough daytime snow dammit!

One more group of showers entering Montco

Both scared the bejesus out of me while driving w/my cell in my corner shirt pocket only to receive nothing. You get nothing!

Welcome to my world, I would be between Stanton and Rosemont. Do you have Bucks county reports?

I just got in from a birthday celebration for one of my nieces at a restaurant out in KOP and I found the powder snow!  The winds had kicked in around when we got out there at 12:30 pm and the stuff was continually blowing off the roofs of the buildings.  Didn't have that IMBY - just a lot of splatting as the stuff fell off the trees, sloughing of snow sheets off the sides and hoods of cars, and lots of dripping.

Where do you find these tables on the Mt.Holly site? I look at the 'text products' but they show the snowfall data as it comes in. I haven't been able to locate a table as shown above.

This did not disappoint. The 13.8" in Macungie lived up to the hype at Bear Creek Mountain Resort-- deepest fresh powder I've ever skied. It was like the perfect amount. Definitely the light fluffy high ratio stuff!

I am an official spotter for the NWS for the last 25 years or so.  I reported that measurement. I do not hype measurements. I was not kidding with all of observations about the snowfall and snowflakes.  I live about two miles from the resort. The total after the snow squalls was over 14 inches. I still have 10+ inches on the northern side of the house. The southern facing sides lost all but about 6 inches.

Indeed, it was a good measurement. Unbelievable how localized the totals were.

thanks for your confidence in me.  Last night  single digits back up the snow pack too.  I just wish everyone would have received the same amount.  Its not fair as I feel as I am the one that got served surf and turf while everyone else got mac and cheese.  

I warning many of those who think winter is dead based on the upcoming weather patterns. A dying el nino pattern usually brings a significant snowfall by mid to late March for our area. My 30+ years, I have observed this phenomenon.  The problem is that it will all melt right way because of the sun angle but I still think about it. The 60+ degrees in early March will be replaced by cold rainy April too.

I love Mac and cheese personally and would eat it 7 days a week if possible. Not greedy wrt what's being served and never got angry at others eating their feast. Glad you enjoyed!
