4.25" here in Telford, winding down. 4" back home im told and still ripping. 

BTW, tomorrow 5am. @RedSkyall is right in the world....daytime snow back to back days!

Do we have a jet maxima up top?  If so we could score a quick 4" like we did today in favored areas.

3.5" total.p

We ended up with 4.5" here in East Nantmeal with our 9th winter event of the season. Total snow fall this month is 5.6" which is 2.4" above normal for the 2025-26 season we have received 17.3" which is exactly 7.0" above normal through today.

final total 5.8 at my house  Overperformer fo sure. I am becoming real concern that tommorrows snow is going into a negative tilt with someone getting a norlun trough situation  from  eastern pa up to Conn area. another 4-6 inches is not out of the realm right now if you believe the NAM run at noon. Winter storm watches maybe issued

2" here, brings the season total to 10.5". And the snow pile is back! Nice pleasant surprise!

Looking ahead, the STJ may put a dent in the drought situation. Its a start at least. Then we move to a Nino late summer.

Biggest NAM run of the year coming soon!

That flow in the Tennessee Valley is really backing up watch this get closer to the coast at the last minute and energy fire up to our southwest. 

 

Sun has made an appearance here.

[Newman]

4.5" final total in Fleetwood, and the 18Z NAM says another 2-4" tomorrow?   Meanwhile, people going crazy down here in Florida for a potential slushy inch on grass tomorrow morning!

How much in Spring Twp in Berks County? Commuted to NYC yesterday

Worcester, PA  ended up with about 2.5". Normally not much of an event, but in this case the roads were horrible. I am not 100% sure, but it would appear not much brine was put down. It wasn't an issue of 15 degrees and brine not working. (I think brine has a point where it is too cold and doesn't work similar to salt).  It was 30 to 32 degrees. It appeared after running four fire calls with in 2 hours it was township, county and state roads that were just a mess. (I'm in central Montgomery County PA.)  I know the storm over performed, but I think we all knew there was a chance of snow. It also shows it doesn't take much of a coating to create traffic nightmares. I think I read most of the computer models missed it and only the RGEM performed better than others.  Kind of makes sense to not put all your eggs in one model. 

Tomorrow we have a winter weather advisory - so we have a heads-up.  Not sure, but I think brine has to go on a dry road. That does not appear likely today. In addition the locals are still plowing and not is a position to brine for tomorrow. Be fun to watch the models tonight for tomorrow.
