13.8 Inches Overnight!

Desert Lily — Sat, 17 Feb 2024 14:24:25 GMT

Our area in E. PA was forecasted to get 4" of snow.

At 2AM there was a winter storm warning on my phone, but of course I was sleeping then.

I woke up to 13.8" of snow!!

On Wednesday, the snow removal service I use sent an email that they were taking a 3-day weekend this weekend. Thank goodness they changed their minds & will be here later today.

I don't understand how a forecast at 10PM can be 10 inches off the amount of snow that fell overnight.

What's your weather doing?

My son is in NYC. He texted that they have 10 inches and snow still falling.

I am in south central PA. We got about three inches of snow, but it melted when it hit the streets and even our driveway.

We only have snow in our grassy areas. We have no need to shovel any snow, but my car could use a quick brush off.

Right now it's cold, but sunny here.

Central Ohio forecast was 3 - 5 inches. My suburb has 8+ on the ground, with 12" just north (10 miles)

It's always hard when you get far more snow than predicted.

In MA, we were told to prepare for a foot of snow last weekend and we ended up with about four inches. Always better to get less than expected.

At least your snow removal service changed their plans and will take care of it.

Wow @Desert Lily , that's a good amount of snow! We have a very light snow falling this morning in RI. It's not supposed to add up to anything much, still pretty cold outside though. I'm staying in for the weekend cozy and warm.

All of you stay safe and well!

@Desert Lily Same here in central, coastal New Jersey. We were to get 1-3 inches of snow. This morning about 8 inches of snow on the ground and still snowing. Our county got hit particularly hard with some townships getting 12-13 inches of snow. I would say the 'weather guessers' as my friend calls them, were off by a lot!!

I can picture a beautiful snowfall. We've had two big storms so far this season, which is below average for Wisconsin. I'm glad it's on a weekend for those of you that got over a foot.

Northern Delaware got about 3” overnight. It’s now snowing again, but very lightly.

Here in WA state--just got a dusting in certain areas over Wednesday night. Nothing where I live. But a few higher locales got 7 inches and below. Been a wonky winter around here--warmer than whatever normal is/was. EL NINO is doing its weird stuff

I'm in the metro-DC area and we got less than an inch. It's already melted off my deck. We were forecasted for 2-4 inches by one weather guy, but 1-3 inches by another. I'm not complaining! So far, it's looking like Phil might have been right this time!!!! (Fingers crossed, since we've had some pretty big snows in March in years gone by.)

I think it depends where in the city. Central Park only got around 2 inches but Coney Island around 9. I am in Manhattan and we got a couple of inches. At the moment it is very pretty but accumulations have stopped.

Oh my goodness! You really got that system's energy pushing itself slightly one way!

I know it's beautiful though.

Do you make snow cream?

Please stay warm and safe!

Well, that's a little off. I usually follow AccuWeather's app. One of our Science teachers swore by it when I was working.

Here in southern Delaware, by the beaches, we got a dusting. It's melted already.

I wanted to take the ferry over to Cape May as there is a great crafts fair at the Convention Center. But with the "threat" of snow here and CM, I didn't know what to expect. Oh well, saved $$$.

Southern end of WV is at 25 degrees with barely enough snow to cover the grass.

Here in the St. Louis area we were suppose to get 1-2 inches of snow yesterday but it turned into anywhere from 3 to 6 inches with sleet and Thunder snow in some areas ( in case some don't know thunder snow is we heard thunder while it was snowing) we haven't heard that in a few years. 18 wheelers were backed up for miles on the highway. The TV station interupted programing several times to give updates on the snowfall since the prediction was off by several inches. Clear skys this morning, the sun is shining and it's suppose to be 51 tomorrow and 67 by Wednesday. this was the highest snowfall of the season so far. I do hope winter is about done !
