Just got in from the board. 6.5” since 11 pm

15” total

I brushed my car off at 2AM and eyeball measurement about 3-4" on top since then as of 315am.  Crazy!

I think 24” could be in reach as well, 20” almost certainly though at this point.

ACY gusting to 60 mph

Any reports from Philadelphia proper? Paging @Hurricane Agnes.

I have one of those plastic "snow sticks" propped up against my snowboard and it's at least 12" - 13".   

Still getting SN with temp 29 and dp 29.  Looks like a band sitting right near the river that must be puking snow.

Allright, help me out guys. How much snowfall had there been in the Lansdale/Hatfield area? I have to go down there around noon to 1pm to deliver Lucerne Dairy on Forty Foot Road.

That’s @Birds~69 territory. Spotter reported 11” 2 hours ago in willow grove which is near by. I’d guess they have at least a foot

Thanks! 

I guess we'll see how it goes. I have to back in off of Koffel Road which is dicey when it's dry and the sun shines. Not sure what it'll be like today.

Not gonna lie, this one stings. Knowing what is just 50 miles to our west. Also the rug pull that was the last 24 hours of modeling for western spots. We may have 4" or 5". Can't even tell if it's still snowing by looking at the street lights. Roads are just wet lol.

Stoked for those of you getting raked. Ill live vicariously through you guys. That band over Philly has got to be amazing. Enjoy!

Same for me in Newark, DE area.  There was a clear east-west demarcation line between areas that are getting a historic blizzard and those just getting a moderate snowfall.  That line set up about 25 miles or so to my east and I'm in the screw zone.

[Physicsteve]

Woke up at 4 and think I just missed seeing the death band which has now moved just to my east. Still coming down good though and at 13.5” as of 430 

eta amending total to 14” at 430

[Physicsteve]

Hydrangeas look like some sort of sea coral or something and the snowman is more snow than man

[ChescoWx]

Here in NW Chesco up to 9.0" with steady light snow - heavier bands never quite made it this far west overnight.

Idk if I'd say sea corals.....

[Physicsteve]

Hearing the occasional crack and creak of trees in the distance. 

She’s a beaut, Clark (just wish it tracked more west for the whole forum)

[bringmesnow1]

I was disappointed to be in Europe and missing a blizzard warning, but it looks like Mt Holly busted too high in Pike Creek, DE, at least according to my cameras.  My flight home was cancelled so I can't get home today to measure.  Doesn't look like anythint huge compared to the big numbers in NJ just a bit east.  

So seeing the gold medal hockey match was the winning play in every way for me!

18” @ 5 am

[delijoe]

Radar lighting up around Jackson, NJ and Western Monmouth.... Some of those areas might exceed 20" when all is through

Nice!

I'm hoping it keeps going in the Lansdale area, and the Penndot restrictions hold well into the afternoon. I really don't want to go down there today.

[delijoe]

I'd love to know what's going on in that circled area.  Got to be 2-3" per hour and maybe thundersnow?

Northern NCC Delaware was a screw zone where I'm at.  I saw that coming when the models started shifting the heaviest totals east....

[Hurricane Agnes]

Still have SN with a slightly heavier band overhead here in NW Philly and the backedge on the way.

Temp holding at 29 with dp 29.

Looks like around KDIX and could be some radar clutter/noise.

[BBasile]

Took a little (4 hr) nap and woke up to 16 inches of mayhem.  

 

 

[Ralph Wiggum]

14.5" total attm. 29F. Breezy and snowing still.

[Violentweatherfan]

It really wasn’t as windy as advertised 

[wkd]

Initial measurement of 10".  I'll try a few better locations later but I noticed on radar that my location was between the heavy bands much of the time.
