Major East Coast Storm?

[Mike M]

TWC and the NWS are both saying 1-3 inches for my area, and we're now under a Winter Storm Warning.

Winter storm warning for 1-3 inches?! They should of issued an advisory for that, but not a warning.

I'm right on the extreme western edge of the Warning. If you go further east into the county, the snow totals pick up to 4-8 inches.

I have been having thundersnow (mainly at the airport) for 2 hours now.

Well, it looks like we don't have to worry about if there's enough moisture for this storm based on the radar images over the past few hours.  It's all a matter of whether there will be enough cold air to force the precipitation to stay all snow for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast to support the winter storm warnings in effect.  I can tell that we're in for a really long night just by all the excitement on this forum today.

Oh yeah, its definitely gonna be a long night. We really haven't had a chance to get into winter storm mode yet this year! 

TWC's currently forecasting 6-12" for my area.

I see that the precipitation falling from VA to NJ is already snow, which eliminates the last issue that could have made this storm a bust.  The 18Z model runs are now confirming that a good band of snow is going to set up along I-95 tonight, and southern New England is now looking at the potential for a foot of snow.  We finally have a real winter storm for this season!

i look to record clips of this potent storm

The snow has begun falling heavily here!

  Y'all can have it.

So, it's like, gee, the radar says there's moderate precipitation falling, but I look out the window, and there's nothing falling.

It's still way too dry for anything to fall. The temperature is 37°F, but the dewpoint is 18°F.

Look at that big red L! You can see it in the sky!

Wind gust 49mph at my house up to 60 at other close stations. Coastal flooding that is covering the lower decks of our pier and the waves are hammering them so hard the planks are prying up.  Already had a brief power outage. Big branches coming down too.

This is just an estimate, but as of 8:30 this morning, I'd say we have about 3 or 4 inches of snow on the ground, and it's still falling. The snow is apparently very dry and fluffy, causing it to blow around a lot, making driving pretty bad.

according to my ruler my final total is 7.3 inches of snow with maybe one more inch coming. also 0.6 of an inch of sleet fell as of 9:37am est
