How far north is the "Northern Crew?"

I would say the I78 corridor peeps

 

[RedSky]

ECM 1" line rides northern Lehigh County

 

[RedSky]

Ehhhhhh I have sleet falling

44F

[RedSky]

Correction its graupel

[LVblizzard]

WAA sleet/graupel/snow junk missed me to the south. Tonight’s R/S line looks like it will stay to the north of Allentown. At least this is happening in November and not January when cold air will be more abundant.

Pingers here, too!

We had Graupel here in Spring Twp.

I guess this is another way of saying Go Birds!

Mowing my lawn (mostly to pick up lots of leaves) between 3:30-4:00 PM today and a few minutes in, sleet was falling. Perhaps I should have looked at the radar first. Lol 

Did not have that on my bingo card today.

Ironically the s word has been removed from my forecast

 21z HRRR run from today. Looks like the rain/snow line has shifted a hair south compared to earlier runs along with precipitation totals for everyone regardless of p-type. I don't think we'll have as amped of a solution as modeled but still can't rule out a grassy coating for the N of I-78 folks

[Kevin Reilly]

Interesting system coming in from the west needless to say.  Those are some pretty good thunderstorms there in West Virginia.

Currently precipitation to the south is hitting a brick wall and heading southeast away.

Here is my interesting observation at the airport currently it is 47f with a 25f dewpoint.

Here in Media just 13 miles west southwest it is 38 with a dewpoint of 23f 

Pretty wild to have an almost 10-degree difference in a short distance with a lower dewpoint.

Looks like a pretty vigorous low coming in from the west and energy transfer southeast from the Great Lakes.

I also too didn't have sleet on my bingo card today.  I wonder if there are any more surprises coming tonight.

wind here west at 7 mph.

Hi-res RGEM has 6” for much of Northampton County tonight. Would be pretty wild to see that model score a coup.

Looks like other models are much more realistic with a C-2” north of I-78.

I finally caved and put my heat on last Tuesday and at least I got a few days before the indoor humidity crashed to 22%.  Needless to say, the humidifiers were fired up yesterday afternoon and and overnight, and I'm finally @35% (with the rain helping).

Had my first frozen of the season yesterday.  About 3:15 pm, my Upper Darby sis had texted "And now it's sleeting".  I hopped up and looked out and didn't see anything except some possible drizzle (it was in the mid-40s at the time).  But about 15 minutes later I checked and heard the unmistakable pingers. Obviously nothing was sticking but it was there.  Eventually it became a mix of light rain and sleet.

Ended up with 0.01" of that yesterday and woke up to 0.20" this morning.  After a 32 low yesterday morning, made it up to 47 and it's currently 39 with light rain (now at 0.32" in the bucket), and dp 38.

You must have the most insulated house around! My heats been on since before Halloween. What temp did your house get down to?

We got the C-2 up in the Nazareth area.

The season begins.  Thought I heard some pings on the window earlier, but could have just been wishful thinking.  Picked up 0.45" of rain today.  40.4F

[ChescoWx]

We saw a pretty evenly distributed amount of rain overnight with most spots receiving between 0.30" to 0.35" of rain. Today’s temperatures will remain below normal in the middle 40's with mostly cloudy skies. We stay mainly cloudy and chilly through tomorrow before we warm to above normal on Friday and not too far from normal temperatures to start Thanksgiving week. From this distance Turkey Day looks to be warmer than normal but that will likely change to a colder than normal pattern during Thanksgiving Weekend and as we move toward December. Our next chance of rain looks to it will arrive Friday night into Saturday morning.
