Eight inches and more on the way!in Delaware!

Some of us didn't miss out.......from New Castle to Middletown the difference was astonishing!4 inches in New Castle,eight down here....

It varied some down here also from 5.6 inches at my house in Essex, Maryland to 6-8 inches in Annapolis and the central and northern Eastern Shore of Maryland. However the northwest suburbs saw 4-7 inches of snow. It varied depending where the heaviest snow bands set up. Harrisburg ended up with 8 inches of snow. Overall a nice snowstorm, perhaps a warmup to Monday and Tuesday if the track becomes more favorable for the megalopolis.

Have no fear.The models are all saying so,especially the EURO model with 2 foot plus in Philly.

what about northcentral new jersey.

I love the euro prediction. Hopefully it verfies and gives us the big daddy grand finale to this winter season. The megalopolis as a whole could use it. With wind on top of that, that makes it alot worse both inland and at the coast with the prospect for high seas and at least moderate tidal flooding.

As for north central Jersey, looks more like a heavy wet snow is more likely given they are away from the coast and in colder air anyway. Amounts and precip type remain in question though. The exact track and intensity will greatly determine that. Hopefully by the weekend we'll have a scenario in place that can be agreed on. Right now models are differing on the track of this storm.

accuweather's do not seem reasonable, most models show an offshore track, only the nam and gfs show an inland track, most of the forecasts including what accuweather says use the gfs predictions which is why temperatures are so high on Monday, and why accuweather is showing such a prediction

[WXBUFFJIM]

I'm buying more into the offshore tracks right now, which brings hope even for the major cities and the maximum snowfall to north central Jersey of a foot or more. This assumes we don't see the GFS and NAM tracks on Monday into Tuesday. Wind is also gonna be a major player with this storm, which heightens coastal flooding and high seas along the coastal waters.
