January 25-26 Winter Storm Potential

[The Iceman]

Another 1.25” on the board. 6.25” of powder 

[Hurricane Agnes]

I am getting a lot of blowing and drifting and had a 1ft drift up against the top of my step going down to the patio.  I did an 11 am measurement from the board and have 4" so I know I lost some from the drift (my back faces NE).

Thankfully it was easy to move it away from the step with my car "SnoBrum" and also clear the board. 

Currently SN, fog, and 13, with dp 11.

It's wild looking at the CC because it is forming that warm wave just like the NAM predicted!

I was thinking about using the leaf blower too.

10F/DP 7F

Do we have to go all the way back to PDII or the ‘96 storm the last time we had snow at these temps?

I had mentioned how the '96 storm held in the low 20s (IIRC ~23F) through the duration (and this is much colder).  I also used to have co-workers from Chicago who used to pooh-pooh our whining about shoveling back then because they could just get a regular broom to brush off the car and use a leaf blower to blow the stuff off the walks.  Now 30 years later, they have learned what "wet snow" is like.

Change to sleet 11:25 am Media 

13f humidity 97% dp 13f

Estimating around 7". 12F/heavy sideways snow. When she blows it's a real treat...

Winds almost due N now here and gusting for sure. Lots of blowing and drifting.

[The Iceman]

The rates since 7 am have been amazing, thump has delivered imo

A mix of light to moderate snow and sleet in south philly. 6.0" on the dot. I see some reports of plain snow in Baltimore SW of this heavy band. Maybe a temporary switch back is possible?

Speaking of '96, I woke up to heavy snow and 8°F, turned on the trusty weather radio, and we had a blizzard warning! It was a  Sunday as well.

Anyone know if Pedricktown area went over to sleet? 

[Kevin Reilly]

Absolutely pounding sleet here 14f humidity 96% dp 13f

7.1" as of 11:30 in Reading. Guessing we have another hour or so of this amazing high ratio heavy snow before we mix. Would love double digits but I think sleet screws us on that.

No model shows this occurring for South Philly. The changeover is here, should be a wintry mix for the rest of the storm. Possibility of some rain this evening.

Still puking snow in NE Philly. Did my 1st rd of shoveling and have over an inch where I started before I got done in less than an hr. CC radar looks weird. Sleet to the west and WNW of me but still all snow and heavy here. Measured 5 inches before I started shoveling, has to be over 6 now. This thump is pretty sweet.

[Birds~69]

If I ever meet this sleet guy in the streets I'm going to kick his ass...always puts a early ending to the party! 

12F/heavy sideways snow

Just measured 8” in Spring Twp. Nice powder

Whitehall Twsp, PA (Egypt)

Just finished the first pass at the driveway with the Snowjoe, easily 7.5 inches and some areas more with drifting.  Heavy snow.

I know, but did any model show it happening for Baltimore? 

Also ripping sleet in south philly right now. 

[BBasile]

Looks nice out there.  Roads are a mess.  

[penndotguy]

10F. 8”  Sn+ the tiny flakes have increased a bit, I suppose the sleet will follow soon

[MGorse]

Changing to sleet here at NWS Mount Holly.

[Rnt1969]

Gotta be 7-8 inches here in Harleysville

[Chadzachadam]

Sleet now in NW Philly. Looks like 7.5 or 8” which is good enough for me. Could’ve been historic but the thump delivered

[LVLion77]

Man that sleet line came charging north. I still think it makes all the way to Blue Mountain, perhaps gets into the southern Poconos. Never doubt a still primary low coming up the Appalachians. Always a changeover, no matter what the surface temps are.

They are in a wintry mix, not snow. 

[coastal front]

Changed to sleet around 11:30 in absecon. Measured 6-7” so I’ll call it 6.5”. All in all not to bad. Let’s see how long sleet holds before the plain rain

You just had to go with a 6-7 joke….

[Birds~69]

Probably my heaviest snowfall rate currently. Darker outside as well. Along with wind...nice.

12F/heavy snow

[The Iceman]

7” with snow pellets mixing in. Another .75” in the last 30 mins. 

[Rnt1969]

Definitely more than 8 inches
