Is accuweather still saying 4-8" north and west burbs? 

8 to 12 for me and I just hit 8

[Kevin Reilly]

Looks like that band has come to a halt at the Blue Route in Delaware County I’m missing it by 1.3 miles. 
 

However I have moderate snow 7.8” 

wind is 15-25 basically

Moderate snow here 30.2f

total rain 0.12”

total snow 7.3”

total snow year: 33.1” 

That band is literally 1.6 miles east of me creeping west will it make it looks like it has a decent push to it.  Shall see? 
 

Not much wind generally 15-20 mph 

When it gets to you give it another push to get it out here please, lol.

7.5" here at 11:30. Heavy snow, occasional strong gusts blowing the snow around. A winter wonderland outside!

lol that much had fallen here by 11pm

Possible noob question: what's causing the stationary false returns at KDIX? Looks like the geographic locations correspond to Center City buildings and the Roxborough antenna farm but why now and not all the time? Additional radar cross section from adhering snow?

[BBasile]

After averaging a bunch of measurements, I've come to 10.5".  29.8F.  Now, I need a nap!

Radio towers by Conshy and buildings downtown

27F here and heavy snow. Lots of blowing powder.

haha, was wondering who was tailgating me . assumed it was another weather geek like myself.

That would be correct, lol.

[CoolHandMike]

~3" on my back deck, a little bit of fine snow and 29.4°F. Kinda waiting to see if the winds will pick up, it's dead calm here. Local plows are having a nice, easy night, plowing what little slush there is.

[WxUnit]

A nice secondary band appears to have formed further west. Moderate snow and 28.8⁰F.

Prayers sent for a safe surgery and quick recovery. Hope all is well!

Thanks Ralph, and everyone else too. It's for a hernia, put it off for a while, no shoveling for a few days!

Lol I don’t think it’s making it over the Blue Route still east of me literally 2 miles oh well.  I have 8” right now moderate snow 30.0f 

[RedSky]

8" at 1am

Little surprised that band over me hasn't done better

Any other Feasterville heads? 10”? That’s what I’m eye balling but don’t have a ruler hah

Yeah, not sure where the snow in tomorrow's forecast is coming from, but it's still snowing well here, probably around 8 inches so far as well. I'd like to get to 10 or 12, we'll see, but no complaints! Lost power for 15 seconds, glad it came right back.

How much do you think the city can get? 15"?

[CoolHandMike]

Lol plows keep doing donuts and laying salt in my cul de sac but there's been literally nothing there for hours. I think I just watched the fifth pass tonight. Compared to the January ice sheet storm, when we had one, maybe two passes all night. What are they even doing??

[SNOWCREATURE1]

I'm normally a lurker and learner, but I had to report on my experience outside just now - absolutely, unbelievably incredible rates - got over 1 inch in 15 minutes, must be 3-4 inches an hour. Drifts of three feet, at least 14 inches accumulation (not scientifically measured). I'm in Mullica Hill near Richwood. That was my third outing to try to keep up with the storm. What a historic storm - all hail the GFS!
