This is a wet snow so the trees are plastered! Oy, that's gonna be fun to shovel. Though I'll take over snow cake with a nice two-inch layer of sleet icing on top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadzachadam Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 In an area of lighter returns right now in NW Philly. Road is just wet but everything else is covered, not quite off to the races just yet. side note I think models being a little unreliable is part of the fun of all of this. second side note, why do we get 1”/hour rates of rain fairly regularly in a thunderstorm but never 10”/hour snowfall? I’m sticking with yesterday morning’s guess here, 14-18” but I do think I’m more likely to be too high than too low at this point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just won’t see pwats necessary for inch an hour liquid qpf at these temps. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you imagine if models were 100% accurate? This is what is gonna happen and that's the end of it. Borrrinnngggg. Thunderstorms have so much more moisture to work with. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will probably not be isolated so "get in line". Heavy snow + strong winds = toast. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if temps are 31-33f IF we can manage 28-30 would help with a more powdery snow due to colder air aloft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fields27 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 You can see the famous western death band forming in Chester Co, there'll be a western edge JP somewhere along the West Chester - Quakertown corridor. Very curious to see how far west that band can get. I think then we will have a better idea of where the sharp cutoff will be. Currently under moderate snow which is fine but with temps will struggle to pile up. Need those heavier echoes. Everything caved besides treated roads. 33* Sent from my SM-S938U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
