I got stuck pulling into my driveway.  Since my car was blocking traffic I dug and shoveled vigorously for 15 minutes straight.  By the time I finished and pulled into the driveway vtmark’s dad stopped by with the snow blower.  That was lucky cause my back was bothering me from digging at way too fast a speed 

Hows VTMark been?  I haven’t seen him on FB.

Forecast calling for 3-5 tomorrow....but soon after that it looks like it will be in the 40s for the next week or so....

grateful for the snow and cold temps but certainly welcoming a few 40deg days so that I can finally see the driveway.

Enjoy the deep snowpack for one more day.  It’s gonna go fast with this high late February sun angle

Nothing crazy for tomorrow, but snow is snow.

If ABE receives 2.5" or more tomorrow it will already be the 8th snowiest winter on record.

According to this we're at 37 inches ytd. That seems low but historically they're accurate. Last year we logged a whopping 6 inches.

A shame tomorrow's snow is at a crappy time. MT holly has blue at 4-6 as of 30m ago. Starting at 9am

Edit: another place on their site says 3-5

I guess we can hope that we get some overcast days in the next week or so to preserve the snowpack. Too many hours above 32 degrees for my liking on the forecast.

The one day you don't wear your Timbs...

Coming hard and fast (giggity!) in Quakertown! They are saying 1+ inch an hour for a couple hours, creating poor visibility. Can confirm the poor visibility and tough roads.

Went out for a run while it was flurrying. Before I got to the end of my road (~1/2 mile) it was puking snow. 50 minutes later there is ~1.5” and my face froze. Back roads are slickkkkk

Snow was good this morning but full stop stuck on 476, people are so dumb be it not wearing masks or going out for a drive apparently having no idea it was going to snow. Its coming down nice and hard now.

Listening to sports radio out of Philthy and they all sound stunned that it’s snowing. I guess all the local forecasts down there said rain only? 
 

the ladies at the Quakertown Wawa are also surprised it’s accumulating. Heard them talking about expecting a dusting then rain to melt it away. Sounds like a lot of people caught off guard by this one.

[Mixilplix]

I prolly got 2-1/2 to 3 inches in Macungie area....snow is coming down at a good pace...

[Schif]

Looks like the rain/snow line won't ever go as high as Allentown/Bethlehem. Just north of Quakertown is the last of the rain as of now. So this will be an all snow event for Mt. Bleu

[toast21602]

Might be the best 3 weeks of winter I've ever experienced. 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I’m thinking we have about 3.5” and this is some beefy snow. Could help preserve the snowpack during the next few days of warmish temps. 

[toast21602]

ended up with ~6" of snow here.

Same. Headed out to run the snow blower in a few.

MALVERN measured in at 5 inches 

4-5 inches at my house and my work as well (according to NOAA, looked less to me).  As great as this winter has been for Chester, Montgomery, and bucks counties, Philly and Delco are about 2 inches below their winter snowfall averages so far (very southern Chester county below rt1 gets screwed a lot as well)
