LVblizzard Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Heavier stuff setting up from Allentown south on the radar, but it's still not doing much here. Just over an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg ralls Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 It's probably still only moderate, but it's snowing and blowing the heaviest it has all day here in King of Prussia. Probably around 3" out there, but I'm in for the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChescoWx Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Heaviest snow of the day here in NW Chester County, can see the snow bands rotating down from North Jersey to South of ABE down to Chester County. Last measurement was at 830p with 3.0" Temp down to 19.1 Wind NW at 12mph Barometer down to 29.45" still falling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoRyz Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 My first obs since 6pm...6.1" here in Willow Grove. My father in law also measured 8.5" in Atco, NJ as of 7:45pm. I was out & about for a little while. The major roads are plowed but snow covered (Rts 611, 63, 263), & the PA Turnpike looks to be the same. Other local roads are surprisingly bad for a moderate event. A couple of roads were almost completely drifted over making the lanes impossible to see. Thank goodness for street signs.

lman Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Snowfall rates have increased dramatically here in Jenkintown over the past 1/2 hour. Wind also picking up as well. Perhaps that band is coming in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmister Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Snowfall rates have increased dramatically here in Jenkintown over the past 1/2 hour. Wind also picking up as well. Perhaps that band is coming in.... I live right next to Jenkintown (Elkins Park) and yeah the snow has definitely increased. Its not due to the main band however. It is another band that appears to be strengthening right over the area. This is encouraging to see. I did not think we would much of an increase in intensity west of the large deformation band. I'm gonna go outside for a bit and get some measurements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 While the snow has been incredibly light up here and I doubt we even broke an inch, the winds have been pretty impressive. The house and windows have been roaring and rattling pretty good the past couple hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodd321 Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 bucks getting into the action but NJ...

JERSEYSNOWROB Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 as of 9:25pm, 13.5 inches here in Marlboro, NJ, western Monmouth County. Could very easliy be more out there as the snow is blowing everything around. Snow still coming down hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rib Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Reading just over 6.5" in Elkins Park. Heavy snow and breezy. Hey, I grew up right up the road from you. I went to EP Heavier snow here. This sticks around for a couple of hours we could challenge 10 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwilson Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Measuring in this sucks, although the wind is not really blowing too hard. Occasionally it gusts to say 15-20 but nothing major. About 6.25" in Hatboro. Snow was getting heavier while I was outside. I actually had accumulations on my face. Rates close to 1" an hour right now, I'd say. Heaviest of the day. Local mets said 10PM end time...seems a bit off. As an aside, I say after this storm PA and NJ should be separated. Different climates it seems and I don't like hearing about all their good observations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodbury NJ...just SSE of PHL... squeezing out 6.3" here (average of multiple measurements)...might be as low as 5" or as high as 8"....agreed about the roads...cold and wind are making it very icy after plow pass, which leads to immediate further accumulation and compaction to more ice...Rt 45 here reminds me of conidtions at the height of 12/19 last year...snow blows right back on to the road after plows come through. Still at or close to moderate snow here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Up to 7.7" in Ewing near TTN as of 10PM. Another inch in the last hour. FIgures the band gets close and then starts to fall apart. I wonder if I could manage another 4 or so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove to William Tennent to go sledding but it turns out that area of the school is closed off for construction. Road conditions were really poor even on County Line Rd. I'm surprised considering how little accumulation we've seen. EDIT: Just went outside to measure and actually came up with 6.8". Better than I expected.

Yeah, my road is a snow emergency route which is usually very well taken care of but it's awful now. I guess they plan on doing their plowing when its mostly finished snowing (though the winds may cause drifts afterwards anyway). The radar shows that the mega-band in NJ is beginning to subside, although thats not saying much since it was so intense before. Good to see the band over Montgomery/Bucks counties is still going strong. Looks like we may see another hour or two of relatively enhanced snowfall. BTW, Rib I went to EP from 99-01 and remember getting stuck at school until 6:30 one day in 6th grade because the busses couldn't move in the snow...fun times haha.

The roads were complete garbage even at 2 PM this afternoon and we had probably a couple inches. They were not treated. Not sure if the crews were hit by surprise or something. This thing hasn't moved much since earlier, and apparently Steve D says a 500mb low is forming over the surface low, leading to a full stall. Not sure if he's right or not, I'm not educated enough. If that is the case though I think it drifts west a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
