Looks like we are picking up on a modest event here on Monday.

 

To me looks like we may be heading into a pattern where we will be saying over the next two weeks.  "It just likes to snow here."

From your keyboard to god’s ears.
 

@Hurricane Agnes the area was also hrrr’d at 12z

 

this is the start of prime climo, so let’s add to our december cushion

[ChescoWx]

As of 9:15 am up to 1.5" of snow...that is 1.0" of snow in last 45 minutes temp at 29.9

 

[Ralph Wiggum]

Puking marshmallows in Telford, 28F. Almost an inch.

Everyone shits on the NAM, but was the only model printing 4-6" in the Lehigh Valley all the way back to yesterday 6z runs. We will no doubt hit those numbers

The NAM is either very right or very wrong when it does stuff like that. We like to laugh at it but sometimes it ends up winning in the end.

Dumping in Allentown…about 2” on the ground.

[Physicsteve]

NAM is usually frustratingly accurate with the sneaky warm noses too. Stupid high resolution can really ruin a good time. 

[wkd]

currently 30F with moderate snow. Had some heavy snow a short while back when I got brushed with the COD yellows.  Finally a nice daytime snow.

[Albedoman]

I have nearly 4 inches on the ground here in Macungie. Puking snow

I said after the 15th and near the 22nd weeks ago. Hit it good on the prediction back in December. Actually will have to bring out my  snow thrower - have not done that in almost year

[Chadzachadam]

Moderate dippin dots in nw Philly. Never seen the driveway covered before the deck but that’s the case right now

[mattinpa]

A couple inches here in Royersford. A little colder than I expected so it is sticking. Still snowing moderately. 

[Newman]

Up to 3" already in Fleetwood, could hit 4 or more based on radar

[JTA66]

One of those rare occasions where going with the model that showed the most snow paid off.

[penndotguy]

29F moderate snow 3.25” the flakes went from large to smaller in size nice snowfall 

[LVLion77]

Approaching 4” and 29 degrees here near Macungie. A pleasant surprise.

[Lucy Pull]

Around 3.5” here just south of Blue Mountain Ski Resort. 

[Fields27]

29F moderate snow 3.25” the flakes went from large to smaller in size nice snowfall 

Same here in Reading. Although these are the best rates I've seen yet. Its dumping. Radar looks decent too. Couple more hours? Can we hit 5"?

Coming up on 4” in Allentown. Should hit at least 5” looking at radar.

[LehighValleyDad]

A solid 4" here near Bath, PA .... Roads are terrible.   Be careful out there.

[LehighValleyDad]

How did the 12 NAM look anyone for tomorrow? ... 6Z sure looked interesting.    Given the apparent jackpotting here today, if anything falls here tomorrow that would be quite a bonus.

Fv3 also bullish 2-4" additional tomorrow up here. Checking other mesos now

[Chadzachadam]

Temps in Philly are a little too warm for much stickage. Looks like all frozen precip but it’s melting faster than it can accumulate for the most part. Hope we can get a couple inches tomorrow

[Kevin Reilly]

Heavy snow 33f humidity 74% dew point 25f

0.75-1.00" of snow so far.

 

All roads from West Chester University to Media all snow covered along the Route 926 corridor and Route 352 and snow was coming down at a good clip.

 

Total for the year 10.2" 

[Hurricane Agnes]

Currently getting SN but it's having a hard time sticking here in NW Philly.  It refreshed the dusting from earlier that was almost gone so there's that.  Might be approaching about 1/4" so far so will see if it chills the ground enough as the heavier band comes in.

Temp is 34 with dp 30.

12z surprisingly holding the line.

[JTA66]

Rippin’ here again. My hope for today was snow showers or a period of light snow. Set the bar at @ 1”. But damn, this turned into a legit storm.

Almost looks we have a direct fetch connection off of the Chesapeake Bay.  Bay effect snow fueling the band in through Southeastern Pennsylvania points North-northeast. Winds here in Media are out of the southwest gusting to 20-25 mph.

[ChescoWx]

Heavy Snow continues approaching 4" here in NW Chesco...certainly an overperformer!

[Kevin Reilly]

That is a pretty heavy band of snow moving NNE up from the southwest looks like it is ticked for Kamu country and right through extreme eastern Chester County and through all of Delaware County.

 

It is a snow train band impressive.

Heavy Snowball Flakes

32f humidity 76% dew point 27f now winds SW 10-15 mph.

Over an inch of snow now.

[RedSky]

Looks close to 4" with moderate snow

30F
