Eskimo Joe Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Another meso: Quote Mesoscale Discussion 0114 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0358 PM CST Sun Feb 22 2026 Areas affected...portions of extreme eastern Pennsylvania...much of New Jersey...Delaware...eastern Maryland...and far eastern Virginia Concerning...Blizzard Valid 222158Z - 230200Z SUMMARY...Moderate to heavy snow should continue into the evening. 1+ inch/hour rates remain possible in spots. Blizzard conditions may begin within the next few hours. DISCUSSION...21Z mesoanalysis indicates that the surface low, located east of the Delaware coastline, has strengthened to 998 mb, with surface observations along the coast showing northeasterly surface gusts approaching 20 kts in spots. 700 mb WAA and frontogenesis continues to intensify along the DE/NJ coastline, and should strengthen further with surface low intensification. 1+ inch/hr snowfall rates are likely underway, and should only become more common with time. Furthermore, surface low intensification will result in increased gradient flow along the Mid Atlantic coastline, where blizzard conditions will be possible. The current thinking is that blizzard conditions will most likely develop in the next few hours. ..Squitieri.. 02/22/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Still mostly rain but getting quieter as flakes pick up. Next milestone, stickage... The difference is crazy. It has been snowing moderate to heavy here for the last 45 minutes and everything is fully covered except the paved areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
