...Major winter storm in progress...

A band of moderate to heavy snow has set up from Berks and Chester
Counties east-northeast to the Trenton area to Middlesex and
western Monmouth Counties. One to two inch per hour snow rates are
occurring within this band, with the heaviest snow in portions of
the Lehigh Valley and adjacent portions of Upper Bucks and western
Montgomery Counties. This band may persist for much of the
morning, with snow totals of four to six inches probable in
portions of eastern Pennsylvania by noon. Travel is strongly
discouraged.

I’m drooling waiting for the main course. This may be epic for many

Great analogy with the food Scott

BTW where is weatherBob? He has been noticeably absent for this storm.

Yeah, I think he's going to clean up in this storm. His altitude is always good for extra inches.

You can't give up on a storm that may go past midnight at 10 AM or you'll never make it through the day.

Take your mind off the current and go to the weather stats thread, breath deep and read about the past. The Weather Stats thread is currently free but starting April 1 it will be $1 per month for subscription viewing. A bargain at any price.

steady at 32* snowing lightly with a few pings hitting windows....measured before in a lull and we have 1/2 in on surfaces(not roads)...

Transitioning back to snow here about 30/70 snow to sleet. Flip flopping back and forth, but everything is coated with sleet including streets

Moderate to heavy wind blown snow. 29 with about 4.5 inches so far. Very nice to have snow and not have the sound of melting occurring in the gutters!

31° here. Starting to snow nicely. Had to run to Walmart and BJ's in Riverdale NJ Stores were empty. Bread on the shelves. No sign of panic. I was in full panic mode when I woke up to flurries.

Old Hulk movie reference. How does banner stay as banner instead of Hulk. He always stays angry. I am always in panic mode!!!!!!!!!!

Gotta be some 2-3” reports out of Brooklyn and Queens already. Radar says they’ve been getting pummeled for two hours now

why in manhattan they almost an 1 inch of snow even on the street tops and by me its only a coating on grassy areas and car tops

you are hilarious!! and yes I am the first to admit to the stress and the excitement one feels on the roller coaster of models that we have before a storm...to day just relaxing and enjoying the view of it unfolding...(dinner in CP/homemade bread rising/cookies baked)...now time for a cup of tea, lap top, and a seat by the window!!

Hello Weather nuts! I am around, not much to say with all this fine analysis. Will be checking in this afternoon with measurements. The 700 mb looks in a great position to emerge off the southern Delaware coast with the 500 mb just to its south. Can’t wait until late afternoon when the upper system approaches the coast and watch the banding move N and NW feverishly off the ocean.

Hard to find the thread in full panic mode. Before the Mad Taxman starts charging, here is the link. Please also find his link to a wonderful Tom Petty song.
