Snow Is Falling In The Northeast

Desert Lily — Sat, 06 Jan 2024 19:54:35 GMT

I live in E. PA, a little NW of Philly. This is the 1st snow with accumulation since I moved from the West Coast desert 1.5 years ago. It started around noon.

The flakes are really coming down. I'll be heading out for my 1st shoveling in about an hour & plan to do a 2nd one around 7-8pm.

What's the weather doing in your area?

I'm in Bucks Co and yes it's been snowing since around noon. According to accuweather it wasn't supposed to start until 4pm.

Anyway I had plans to get together with my brother and we went to Doylestown for pizza then back to his house for coffee & dessert & for him to open his Christmas gifts since he had Covid over the holiday.

We had a nice time and I just got home half an hour ago.....it's still coming down and I wonder if it will turn to rain later.

It looks pretty right now but I hope the accumulation is not much more than what we have.

We had your storm in Albuquerque Thursday. After a day of mist and sleet, about dark it started snowing. We got 2-3", but our mountains were covered and beautiful. It was our second snowfall of the season with another expected tomorrow night.

@Desert Lily. If you want snow, you should've stayed in the desert. lol

You are looking forward to shoveling twice in one day? Looks like you will have to change your name to Snow Lily.

@Desert Lily In VA along the coast there's rain, it started about 9 as drizzle so I walked the dog a mile twice. There are large raindrops now and no snow is expected. It's 53 and should stop at 6.
Snow can be beautiful but I don't ski anymore. People here don't know how to drive in it and it's often icy. My roads are hilly and dangerous. So I stay home.
Take care in the freezing weather everyone. Keep warm and safe!
Virginia: 🌧️ 🌡️53 💦

@Desert Lily I'm in SE PA and enjoying the snow while it lasts. We're expecting it to change over to rain - UGH, I hope not! Just snapped a pic of our patio and noticed the cardinal and his entourage at the feeder.

I am in south central pa....Harrisburg-Hershey area.

We have about 5 inches and it's still coming down fast and furious.

My husband just went out to use the supersized snow blower to clear the drive way and a spot for the dogs in the yard.

It was predicted between only 1-3 inches.

"Brisk" in Phoenix (35° this a.m.) I have the plants covered (just in case we have an overnight freeze!)

Rain in New Jersey at 39 degrees! Stay safe in the snow, if you have to drive, or, shovel.

@Desertdi. Have you broken out your electric blanket? I know you must have one.

"Flurries" all day in downtown Chicago but no accumulation, thank goodness, at least not so far. So dismal though--it's depressing. Haven't seen the sun for more than a few hours all week.

@Kachina624 You have a good point in times like these! LOL.

@depglass a possibility - changing my name to Snow Lily. I'll see how much of that white stuff we have when I get up tomorrow LOL.

I figure it's easier to shovel a couple inches at a time than trying to battle deeper accumulation. I'm going to try some pet safe ice salt this evening, too.

very sad that this was a bust in the baltimore area.

i had my hopes up all week long and we are getting just rain/freezing rain rather than snow.

@kaydee50. We have so much bright sunshine in the winter, a dismal day is a rare treat. Today is bright and sunny but I have high hopes for tomorrow when the next storm starts to move in.

When we lived in Henderson, NV I LOVED cloudy days! Got so tired of the endless sunshine--LOL!!

@sunshine45. Don't give up hope. There are several storms out in the Pacific which will move onshore and across the country. The meteorologist say El Nino has kicked in.

we started with flurries around 10:30, increased to 'snow', very little accumulation by 3:00 or so. now all rain.

we in are Philadelphia suburb.

they are calling for rain all night.

it is beyond miserable.

we have had no sun for 7 days. (last week)

a day and a half with sun (Tuesday-Wednesday, this week) then back to gray clouds since thursday.

no sunny day in sight.

it going to be a L-O-N-G gray winter I predict

enjoy the sunshine if u have it! soak it in!!!

@Desertdi. You must be getting the leading edge of the next storm for us which is bringing very cold temperatures. Our prediction for Tuesday is high of 25° low of 9°.
