Anyone else with a Davis station that isn't reporting windspeed to Weatherlink?  Seems none of the stations in my area are.  Strange.  

I literaly JUST noticed that with my Ambient. And I took a look and saw the whole thing is caked in wet snow. Gonna take a good gust to break it up.

5" here currently and that has another 14" on top here. LFG!

So wait, am I reading these maps wrong and those totals are additional

I was thinking it may be something like that, just never had that happen before.  And with every station in the area the same, thought it may have been on Davis' end.  With the rain beforehand and the wet snow, definitely could be jammed.  Let's go blizzard winds!

If it wasn't already known, it's looking more and more obvious that this area is going to be the PA jackpot zone. Would not be surprised to see some 20+" reports in there, maybe even some 2 feet reports. Jersey is an entirely different animal, I wouldn't be surprised by a 3-feet+ final total somewhere

Levittown is in a great spot for this one.

Love to hear it. Sitting in Old City, Philly rn and its absolutely ripping

Last observation of the night for me. A hair less than 3” just south of Blue Mountain Ski resort. Noticeable uptick in intensity the past 5-10 minutes. Would assume 0.5”+ rates currently.

Thanks for showing some love for Bucks County

Lol, been lurking forever (like months, never got my verification email), glad to seem some forums for the area are still active.

Unofficially 6.25" on the grass. About 1 inch in the past 45 minutes.

Backyard obs:

29, SN+. Station showing gusts around 15mph but I suspect the wind sensor is a bit obstructed

[BBasile]

Been stuck under this band for a while now.  Hopefully for some time longer as well.  Bring it!

[Violentweatherfan]

So am I reading these HRRR maps wrong, are these amounts additional?

I’m experiencing the same issue in Lumberton.

Im in the center of that circle.

I'll allow it.

Correct

[Heisy]

That band in C NJ etc is likely the pivot. Amazing how close it resembles Boxing Day.

That had a more N/S orientation, but still…

Yup I couldn’t ask for a better look to the banding. Thinking there’s really a good shot at an all timer currently (>20”). 

[BBasile]

Getting buried and I love it!

I'm loving this storm, and after the trends this morning, this radar is a thing of beauty. Yesterday I showed my wife the 3K NAM after one of its better runs, and it looked like this, with bands being pushed in from the coast, and it was a fantasy look. Now it's doing that in reality, yeehah!!

Amazing!

10 pm update 7”

1” in the last hour as we were in between bands for a bit. Heavy again for the last 10 mins, best intensity of the night and that’s saying something. huge fat dendrites. Great snow growth.

[Ralph Wiggum]

Wow....NJ still snowing 2pm monday. 

[KamuSnow]

Neighbors house across the street is 500 ft from where I'm sitting, and it's pretty hazy due to the snow intensity, but it just disappeared for half a minute, lol. Probably wind assisted but still!

Interesting.
Was just looking at the cluster of lighning strikes over the ocean and didn't see any inland. 
Guess was cloud to cloud lightning?
