10 inches of snow on the way.....
- Thread starter 46er
- Start date
igfly:And some computer models, NAM, GFS, GGEM, etc have a whole lot more than that (highest models are near 20" in a few spots). The pines could really get a jackpot event, with a strong possibility of thundersnow forming too. We'll see what happens.
Nice sleet event here around 1:30AM, with some brief whitening of the ground. The radar has shown even heavier radar returns (50+ dbz) over Wharton forest where it must really be coming down. Especially on the sand roads.
Not much happening here so far, light rain with a slight white frosting. National Weather Service is forecasting the possibility of 5 to 9 inches tonight with as much as 3 to 5 additional inches Monday. I have to work in Philadelphia today but should make it back home before things get bad.
See, I thought we had made it through this season with nothing, but I guess I need to see if I can still start the snowblower after nearly three years sitting idle.

Holy COW, REALLY?! I guess I have not been paying attention. Weather.com for my area says that we should get 4-6" tonight and a couple more tomorrow. Joy.
Light dusting of wet snow this morning up here. Would be nice if those forecasts are accurate for a change.
Snowshoeing in the pines, priceless

Snowthrower is up and running - thank God for starting fluid! Cut and split another load of firewood; I am ready for anything. That pretty much guarantees we won't get any snow
Man I am jealous....there is no place like the pine borings in the snow. Seriously thinking about playing hooky from work for a few days.
Right. Those cedars will be even more boring in the snow. And the ruins! And the Skit-with-snow-islands. Just missed it . . . Sigh.

I put some fresh gas in the tank, shook the equipment a wee bit, pumped the primer about nine times and the snowblower fired right up on the first push of the start button—just like I had started it yesterday instead of last year. I was absolutely amazed!

Grendel:
Where abouts are you in Stafford? I am currently working on two archaeological investigations in Stafford County: a Phase I at Leeland Station and a Phase II at Brooke Station. There is some fascinating history down there!

I'm thinking this will be a pretty major storm for our area. The fear I have it that it's going to be the heavy/wet snow that causing issues due to its weight.
Yup guys, the National Weather service went for a mixture of the models overnight and issued Winter Storm warnings for the entire area... He're a quick breakdown across the Mt Holly forecast area, using data from their warning text:
8-14" Atlantic, Cumberland, and Salem in NJ. Kent and Cecil in MD, and New Castle in DE.
6-12" Cape May in NJ. Queen Anne, Talbot, and Caroline in MD, and Kent in DE.
5-8 in Sussex DE.
Slightly less at the immediate coastline.
It should be an interesting one as models still hint that some areas could still make it above those numbers. Especially when aided by an thundersnow, which is a real possibility once the storm gets rolling. Neighborhood "point" forecasts have up to 18" falling across the Pine Barrens north of the Expressway... Its a great time to be in the pines!

Heres a high-res model forecast for the area, just to give an idea directly from computer output: (Live map- and a bit oversized)
A general 15-18" with a nice 18"+ spot right over Coyle field and the Pygmy pines.
