As my Mom would say, “It’s SOUPY out” here in SE PA

love the new graphics and logo!!

13.7″ at PHI (about 5 miles from me). Honestly, this was easier to shovel than that 5″ of snow + 4″ of sleet we got last time

About 3″ so far here in SE PA. Put out meterstick for kicks. You can actually see it accumulating sideways on it. Snow off and on horizontal. Might make remote reading difficult hahahaha 😂

This is shaping up to be the most snow in a storm I’ve ever experienced in my life. Trying to beat super storm 93 at Penn State/State College 26″

WSW here for SE PA. 10-16″ predicted with most models more than that. Heavy wet snow to boot. Get your eggs milk and bread everyone

When I was in Meteo 201 with John Merritt back in the day (late 80s), I believe he is the one that I heard say: “If a storm makes news on the West Coast, it’ll make news on the East Coast”

Winter storm watch for SE PA “>6″ possible”. Ncep plume viewer this morning at 13-14″ for PHI.

About 4″ of sleet here in SE PA (and still sleeting)

Glad we shoveled around 12-1 before

Sunny, crisp and warmed up to 19 here in SE PA. Warning my son in Raleigh to get ready for the weekend. I know it’s google but when I asked Google how much snow was expected to fall in Raleigh it replied 20.67″. Hahaha

about 1.5″ yesterday in SE PA. Snowing pretty hard again the last hour or so and sticking to the roads. Going to be icy in the morning for sure.

Some of the freakiest February weather I can recall going on here in SE PA. Upper layer clouds like 50% clouds, 50% blue sky. Light rain/sunshower. Winds 50-60mph. Mid level and low level clouds zipping by like a NASCAR race. Still feels like 60 degrees outside (sorry guys, outdoor thermometer broken).

All snow from start to finish here in SE PA. About 3″. Curious to see how tonight and overnight plays out.

One of my favs. Best part is I bought this at a library sale for like $1. John Nese was president of Penn State Campus Weather Service when I was a freshman METEO student back in 1987. Ran into him in like 2003 at The Franklin Institute when I took my 6th graders there on a class trip.

Above freezing now. I teach my students that a good way to tell after an ice storm if it is above freezing is when you get driving from the trees. Tough to tell thickness of ice but probably .2 or so overnight

Decently heavy freezing rain here is SE PA. Don’t think we got any snow or sleet (it def. started as rain). Oh well, one storm down 10 to go………

Wintry mix for a bit yesterday evening and a bit of freezing drizzle/freezing fog overnight here in SE PA. Hoping for more WED/THU here is SE PA

up to about 2.5″ here is SE PA. Still snowing.

430 pm in SEPA. About an inch of mix. Wind picking up as is snow.

If I get the forecasted max of 1″ of snow overnight here in SE PA, and my son gets the max 4″ he is under a winter storm warning for in NC, he will have had more accumulating snow than me up to this point this winter.

About 2″ overall here in SEPA (Delco). Did not cover grass completely. Snow starting up again with the last bit moving thru now into this evening.

Merry Christmas to all. Had a coating of snow and then a coating of sleet and snow so far in the last 7-10 days or so in SE PA. Keep it coming!!!

dusting on grassy surfaces here in Springfield PA (west of Philly proper). Bodes well for the winter as I read a few years ago that in winter seasons when PHI had measurable snow before the Winter Solstice, 80% of those years had above average snowfall. I’ll take those odds.

Superstorm 1993 in State College. 28″ if I recall correctly. That’s me in our driveway (holding a meterestick) down to the underground mini garage for our apartment building. Not seen in picture is about 10 feet up the driveway, our neighbor’s Volkswagon Rabbit, which they tried to drive out in the snow when it was only a few inches got stuck…Read More

Love waking up to this! 2-3″ here. My brother in NJ was just outside that crazy snow band that was putting down 4″ per hour per NWS reports. He got 5-6″. Salted roads just wet so can do errands. No complaints.

I appreciate you and the job that you do Henry. It is interesting to me to follow the daily ins and outs of the various models and I am learning a lot. The weather is gonna do what the weather is gonna do. We are at about 9-10″ total for the winter here (which is still less than half our average winter total), but at least it has been better…Read More

Got about 4″ here in West Chester. Partly cloudy and 36 now. Melting has begun in earnest and will pick up with the sun poking thru this afternoon. Sure looked amazing this morning.

Winter weather Advisory just posted 1-3″ of snow. NWS PHI prediction 2.9″.

Even the most recent NCEP SREF Plume viewer has a bit over 4″ in Philly.

Still no winter weather advisory/winter storm watch or warning for Philly and adjoining Delaware County. NWS Mount Holy office still going 1-2″ there and their “final” emergency briefing at 4 pm today. Weather channel forecast at 3-5″, Accu-wx at about 1″. Considering we are about 12 hours from the onset of the snow, WTH???? I saw your new map…Read More

A few days post Superstorm 1993 in State College PA. Corner of West Hamilton and Allen street. Allen street still mostly snow covered. 28″ if I recall correctly. Didn’t have student teaching in Altoona the whole week after (I remember it starting on a Friday Night). Still looking for other pictures from back then. For reference, that’s a…Read More

Henry Referenced the Philly area in winter 1978. I was 9 at the time and we used to play street hockey all the time. The roads couldn’t get plowed frequently enough so you basically had this 3-4″ packed snow on top of the street that lasted for at least a few weeks. Thankful back then for having a short driveway to shovel!!!

A little over 3″ in West Chester PA (still snowing lightly though). Had 2 snow days and 1 2-hour delay this week (I think that matches our total for the last 3 winters in just one week!!)

West Chester, PA:

solid 2″ of snow with glaze of ice on top, freezing drizzle and 26 degrees

Happy New Year 2024 to all on this site. When I moved in late 2016, I was concerned about snow removal where I lived. Since moving the most snow that has fallen (from a single storm) here about 15-20 miles W of downtown Philly has been 4″. And not much overall in any winter since I moved. No real complaints (my family did shovel out a 100’…Read More

Merry Christmas to one and all

Ah, Superstorm 1993. I was student teaching in Altoona, PA at the time. Science teacher of course. Anyway, I remember my supervisor teacher talking to another teacher who asked him how much he thought they’d get in Altoona and he said “1-2”. The other teacher said “inches” and my supervisor said “no feet”. I borrowed a meterstick on Friday…Read More
