Well the infamous INACCU Weather blew it big time for guys like Iceman and me  We doubled their measly prediction   On a side note, they actually went to court to block NOAA from having an app  That's how cut throat they are, and their  pay rate is a joke.

Yes, AccuWeather, particularly through lobbying efforts by its former leadership, played a major role in preventing the National Weather Service (NWS/NOAA) from releasing its own official mobile app

to avoid competing with private sector weather companies. AccuWeather argued that the government should not compete with private apps, hindering the NWS from providing direct, official apps for years

Accu-Weather "actual" snow totals seems low in several areas particular in lower Bucks...

Very much enjoyed this storm! Final total here was 10.4", the low end of the forecast, but we made double digits for the first time in years here. Nice noreaster, reminded me of a couple of coastal storms from yesteryear, starting as rain and changing to snow as it got going.

Lost power for 15 minutes last night, no biggie. Only downside is the wet snow at the beginning did a number on the bamboo, then it just kept piling on, as you can see in the pic.  There is a tent under the bamboo, lol. But yeah, thoroughly enjoyed it!

Gives this winter an A grade for me.  Snow total so far is 34.5", above average for sure. The snow pile is content as well, lol.

Agree.  First time I've seen double digits in a decade.  And it was double the amount of the storm a month ago.  Definitely an A for this winter. Looking forward to the next good winter in 2036.  lol

Various pics of the storm and aftermath and one of my cat watching the snow out the window like her daddy.

Snow piled onto the bush I have outside. It was smashed against the ground this morning

Something is amiss with the trained spotter report for Warminster. Mid morning the Warminster spotter showed 13.5"......but with the final total is showing 13.2"? How do we lose accumulation?

Just as a side note, there was a wild gradient across parts of Bucks County....Western Warminster was 13.5"....2 miles east in Ivyland I reported 18"....another 2.5 miles East in Richboro they reported 22".

Thats an 8-9" difference in under 5 miles. Crazy stuff.

I believe that actually, the edge of that deform band rotted right there. West side of town probably didn’t get into the pivot.

That 21.5 measurement in Gloucester County can't be correct.  That spotter (1 W Pitman), along with myself (Washington Twp), both had a 16" measurement around the same time this morning.  Other than some light snow, the storm is over.  5 hours later and that same location picks up 5.5 inches?  Nope.  No chance.  Spotter card should be pulled.  lol

Yeah you ARE CORRECT,    (ME) Langhorne, 22 inches, (Iceman)...Levittown 21 inches,   Richboro..22 inches...Morrisville  21 inches.....Fairless Hills 21.5 inches.  So we are all relatively close in location  And all of those reports are trained spotters
