snow/rain line looks like it's from maybe Pottstown PA to Flemington to Madison to Wayne, right by you...if the radar is to be believed...
Where in Morristown are you!? I’m at the hospital and still coming down strong
Minor point: if one doesn't "catch" the transition to rain and measure then, the measurement will be well below what it was before melting/compaction due to the rain. I had 1.75" at 12:45 pm and had 1" by 1:30 and now it's about 1/2" of slush (new precip; still have 8-12" of heavily compacted snow most places on my lawn).
Not here - there could be snow showers from about the Poconos to Ithaca tomorrow, though, but not a lot (an inch or so), although with snow showers, one can get heavy snow for 10-15 minutes, so if you're careful, you should be fine. Major roads should be ok, especially with temps above 32F by late morning up there.
Maybe I missed it - are you a meteorologist (i.e., when you say "busted" did you make a forecast?)? I asked the same question on the weather boards, but no answer yet. Up until a few years ago there were a few NWS-Philly mets who would post on the boards, but they've stopped (think they were told to stop), but at least we have Walt Drag (retired NWS and a legend) posting on the weather boards now, so maybe he'll weigh in. Extraordinarily hard to get this one right, as a difference of 1F in a column forecast or 1 hour difference in the start time meant a change from 0" to 1-2" for some - or from 1-2" for to 3-4" for others.
see my post above - should wash away/melt for most unless you don't change to rain...
Pretty similar to the NWS forecast and only off by 15-20 miles - understandable with this one. I also got pretty excited when I heard it was snowing down there and in interior SNJ at 9-10 am. No way that happens and we don't snow some up here.
That's cool. Wish my dad had that interest. I was hooked on snow from the time I was a tyke and started keeping weather records from when I was about 10 until I was 16 (but only in the winter, lol), after getting a cheapo "weather station" as a gift. In the 70s all we had was local TV to watch for weather and it was nowhere near as good as today, although I was a huge fan of Jim O'Brien, the weather guy in Philly on Action News, who made weather fun.
The lack of any other reports in Philadelphia tells it all and why the official site for record keeping in Philly shouldn't be the Airport.
I agree PIA is a lousy place for record keeping, but I have no idea why there weren't more reports from Philly as there were quite a few on line, with most showing 2-3". It takes a little work to report snowfall amounts.
And the NWS -Philly overnight added Hunterdon and Morris counties to the advisory list for 2-4" of snow this morning/early afternoon, while the NWS-NYC added Passaic, N. Bergen, W. Essex and the Hudson Valley to the advisory list, also for 2-4" of snow. In addition, the next tier of counties SE of there on the western side of the 95 corridor (Philadelphia, SE Montco, SE Bucks, Mercer and Somerset) are forecast to get 1-2" with up to 3" in the NW parts of those counties. Up to an inch is forecast from about NB through NYC, along 95 (less than SW of NB to Phillly, which has 1-2" forecast).
With this event being a quick hitter with up to about 0.5" of liquid equivalent falling in maybe 6-7 hours from mid-morning through mid/late-afternoon, buts potential is quite high especially along and just NW of 95, where temps will be borderline for accumulating snow (33-35F) during late Feb with the higher sun angle, so snow may only accumulate on the snow on the ground at 32F, with little accumulating on paved surfaces - it would be easy for 95 and just NW to be almost all rain, while it would also be easy for the 95-corridor to be mostly snow with a few inches falling on colder surfaces. Tough forecast with a steep gradient in snowfall from SE to NW. Further NW for the advisory counties, snowfall rates should be enough for impacts on travel.
