HA! HA! Love it.Measurable snow on the street, sidewalks, back yard in Center City/ South Philly.....
Then you're 8 miles from me as I'm right on the border of Jackson. Have about 4" here. Picked up about a 1/2" in the last hour and one more hour to go. Still coming down heavy.
No grilling today for you!As of 2:45 PM, we had 7.5" down here in Wayne.
Wrong again! Got some salmon I'll be throwing on the grill later.No grilling today for you!
Salmon [sick]Wrong again! Got some salmon I'll be throwing on the grill later.
Over by Kent Rd. the road that goes behind the Walmart on 9.You are over by the new Quick Chek on New Prospect on the road that goes behind Walmart? I am about 10 miles from there. I am closer to the section of Howell west of the Stewarts on 9 over by Farmingdale Road
I am old and out of shape but I can jog to Freehold and Millstone
At 1:50 pm, we're up to 5.5" as we got 1/2" the past hour. Snow just picked up in intensity, but looks like we're near the end, although I think we'll make it to my prediction of 6" for my house here in Metichen. Still 32F.
If you do it in shots, it's easy to do with a wide broom, pushing everything to the edge of the driveway and then just using the shovel to toss it over the bank of snow. I did 3 separate shovels of about 2" each that way. Probably tough to do more than 3-4" that way.Wonder if it will be easier to shovel then. I may do that instead of getting the blower out get a workout too. Around 4" here so far
We’re done in Lambertville. Just came in from clearing it all. 7” here...easy work for the snowblower and light and fluffy to shovel. Get out now and do whatever clearing you have to do while it’s still light and temps haven’t started dropping.
Biggest measurement between my house and the beer store 4 blocks away(I walked with a tape measure) was a 1/4 inch on my grill. Temp never got below 34 so with that and the very wet conditions nothing stuck after hitting the ground.
I'm going to guess Wilmington might post nothing. So a complete whiff again.
However they also missed really low in Upper Bucks. Part of the 1-3" group got 8"
The gradient in Philly is unlike anything I've ever seen almost - just look at the snowfall reports below, where elevation and distance from the urban heat island are probably the biggest reasons for the differences. A decent amount of it had to be the heat island, since Cherry Hill, due east of Philly at the same elevation as PIA, reported 2.8" of snow.

I did do it with a shovel. Snow was heavy but was compacted. Was higher earlier. Was a good little workout. Sun is coming out towards the west. Sky turning blue in a few spots. Looking to the next one.

The Airport outdid South Philly where it was at best 1/4". You are right though, that the city can be more, sometimes dramaticly more.Philadelphia International nearly always runs low on snow amounts. Chester Hill is toward the north of the city, telling me that the north and west probably got a fair amount of snow.

They were colder than the city this morning by a few degrees so guessing they changed over a bit earlier.It's remarkable that the Airport got significantly more snow that South Philly.

NYC doesn't have that kind of difference, usually. For this event, Central Park had 4.5", EWR had 5.6", LGA had 4.2" and JFK had 6.5". JFK usually has less than the rest if mixing is an issue, but it wasn't for this storm and being closer to a further offshore storm was more important, so they got the most in NYC. For last week, CPK, EWR and LGA all had 17-18", while JFK only had 12.6" (with less due to mixing, as it's closest to the water and at the lowest elevation).
Impressive. Except for the salmon thing 😂
No reports. Greenville, just NW of Wilminton, got 3.4".Fox Chase isn't near the river. Far NW.
Chestnut Hill has serious elevation most can't ride their bike up into that section but very nice area.
What did Wilmington DE get?
Do you know what's better? Not getting 4 inches earlier this week and getting nothing today! Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner!One good thing is like 6” of snow is like a walk in the park after two feet.
Simple cleanup! Just an annoyance.
