Accumulating snow looks done here.

I'd say total: 2.25" or so.:snowman:

I measured 2.2" of snow at 9:30 AM outside my abode in Spring Mount, so I concur with your snow totals. It was very easy shoveling with fairly high fluff factor.

I have mixed feelings about accumulating snow tomorrow. My wife and I are leaving for vacation tomorrow afternoon (we'll be gone until Wednesday, 1/19)...so an inch or two would be OK...anything more and it will likely mess with our travel plans.

final total for Round1 is 1.5", which I derived using the look-out-the-window-and-take-a-guess method.

By the time I had chance to measure the sun has already been beating on it for almost 2 hours, and besides my school is full of hills and trees so there's no good place to measure.

It looks like things are looking a little more impressive for tomorrow. I just received the Hazardous Weather Outlook:

ACCUMULATING SNOW IS POSSIBLE ON SATURDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED ON SATURDAY.

Been away for a few days. I checked the board and got a tex from my brother about snow tomorrow he mentioned accur weather was hitting the drum hard for 3 inches with around 6 at the shore

18 z NAM only looks good for some snow in Delaware and SNJ through hour 24. a few inches it seems.

not much north

hr 30 brings some light snow into southern PA around 1-2 inches it seems

Yikes! I doubt its worse than it was today, so you should be safe. Snow totals were quite uniform today across Chester and Mont. counties, very rare if you ask me.

wow- the snow hole lives on- no end in site to those who continue to say it will- Winter storm watch/advisories to the south of us once again. I have to get out the broom for tomorrow. This is getting ridiculous. These 1-2 inch snowfalls are breaking my back. The snow melted before I could even sweep the walkway today. Poor Tamaqua, I hope your pixie dust is not to heavy tomorrow. Maybe you can make a snowball out it.

The nam says "screw you northern Monmouth county!" I'd be 0 for 2 with this whole complex system but hey what can you do. I'm hoping for 2" tmrw to keep the snowpack fresh until the mid-week storm.

it looked like flurries on the 18z NAM for are area. Hopefully the 0 Z runs take a huge qpf dump for us on the next run.

I was a little shocked to see a wwa issued in this area.
