What happened

The episode as NWS PHI wrote it up.

A developing wave of low pressure brought a period of snow to the eastern mid-Atlantic during the overnight of January 6 into the morning of January 7. The developing low was fast-moving, with steady precipitation lasting only 6 to 8 hours in many areas. However, the storm brought a widespread swath of 3 to 6 inches of snow to most of the eastern mid-Atlantic. Some portions of eastern New Jersey saw some slightly higher amounts of 6 to 7 inches, but in general it was a fairly uniform snowfall for most areas. With most of the accumulation occurring near or before dawn, roadway conditions were rendered poor for the Friday morning commute on the 7th, causing many businesses and schools to close or shift to virtual operations for the day. One notable aspect of this event was its higher than usual snow to liquid ratios for the mid-Atlantic. Temperatures were cold enough for precipitation to fall as all snow. With plenty of cold air at the surface and aloft, snow tended to be light and fluffy, causing it to pile up quickly despite liquid equivalents being a rather paltry 0.20 to 0.50 inches in most of the region. The snowfall ratio , which often averages close to 10:1 or lower (i.e., 1 inch of liquid would equate to 10 inches of snow) was closer to 15:1 or even 20:1 in most reports containing both a snowfall and liquid equivalent measurement.

.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure over the Southeast will lift to the northeast
towards the Mid-Atlantic tonight, then intensifies east of New
Jersey on Friday before departing. High pressure builds in from
the west Friday night and moves offshore Saturday night. A front
approaches on Sunday and crosses the region Sunday night,
followed by an Arctic front Monday night. Arctic high pressure
builds into the region Tuesday, then departs on Wednesday.
Another front passes north of the region Thursday.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
A burst of light snow has passed through the western suburbs of
Philadelphia and Berks county, and is moving through the Lehigh
Valley. Will not make significant changes to the forecast with
this update, as a coating or so has fallen from this. But it
will bear watching. HRRR continues to indicate heaviest snow
across much of New Jersey.

Otherwise, the main focus for this period continues to be low
pressure system expected to bring snow tonight into early
Friday. The forecast guidance is now in good agreement tracking
low pressure over the SE US north and east off the N.C coast to
a position south of Cape Cod by 12z Friday.

Going through the overnight is when things get interesting.
Clouds thicken through this evening with precipitation
overspreading the area SW to NE late this evening into the
overnight (mainly after 10 PM or so) as the deepening low
pressure system tracks up the coast. This will be a mostly snow
event except over southern DE and south coastal NJ where we
still think there will be sleet and rain mixing in at times,
especially at the onset. This will keep amounts lower here. The
main change with this update is that we've issued a Winter Storm
Warning for most of central and southern NJ as confidence has
grown that there will be swath of higher snowfall amounts here,
with upwards of around 6 inches or so under a heavier band
setting up. Challenge is that these higher amounts probably
won't even include these entire counties as the axis of heaviest
snow will likely be just south of the Turnpike but away from
the coast extending roughly from Cumberland Counties NE through
Monmouth Counties. Strictly speaking, this will be a marginal
event in terms of reaching Winter Winter Storm Warning criteria
but given the timing leading up to and into the morning rush,
impacts could be high. Also, since it will be fast moving, most
of the snow will be falling within just a few hours with rates
potentially reaching 1-2 inches per hours. Farther north over
eastern PA and over most of Delmarva we are still forecasting a
general 2 to 4 inches of snow.

Heading into Friday the snow will quickly wind down from west to
east through the mid morning as the deepening low races NE with
sunshine even developing by afternoon. However in the system's wake
winds will strengthen out of the NW with gusts of 20 to 30+ mph
expected by afternoon. This may cause some issues with blowing snow
though it should be noted that the strongest winds will be near the
coast where it will be a wetter snow. Lows tonight will be in the
20s to low 30s and these temps won't increase too much for Friday
due to the NW winds / cold advection behind the low. Highs will be
mostly in the upper 20s to mid 30s...coldest north and mildest
south.

For Friday night, winds gradually diminish due to relaxing pressure
gradient as the low moves away and high pressure starts to build
towards the region. It will be a very cold night though with lows
mostly in the teens. Saturday will then be dry and cold as the high
crests over the area.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
High pressure centered over West Virginia and Virginia on
Saturday will gradually slide east through the day, and will be
off the Virginia/North Carolina coast by Saturday evening. High
pressure continues to track offshore Saturday night, and return
flow sets up behind the departing high.

Sunny and cold on Saturday with highs in the upper 20s to low
30s. These highs are around 10 degrees below normal.

A cold front approaches Saturday night. Clouds increase after
midnight. Prior to midnight, however, with clear skies and light
southerly winds, expecting strong radiational cooling
conditions. Low temperatures will drop into the teens and 20s in
the evening, and then temperatures will hold steady and slowly
rise through the night as those clouds spread east. Based on
latest models trends, precip should hold off until after
daybreak Sunday.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Warm air advection aloft will be underway on Sunday as southerly
flow increases between an approaching cold front and high
pressure offshore. Light precip develops in the morning over the
far western zones. Surface temperatures will remain below
freezing through the morning, but temperatures above 950 mb will
warm to +5C. As a result, there is a chance for a prolonged
period of freezing rain Friday morning for areas west of the
Delaware River, generally in the southern Poconos, Lehigh
Valley, and down into the Delaware Valley. Temperatures in
Philadelphia proper and areas east should be above freezing by
the time rain arrives, and then temperatures warm to above
freezing for all but the southern Poconos by Sunday afternoon.
Based on forecast QPF, generally expecting up to 1/10 inch of
ice accretion. Highs on Sunday will range from the low 30s in
the southern Poconos to the mid and upper 30s otherwise north
and west of the Fall Line, and in the low to mid 40s south and
east of the Fall Line. Southern Delmarva will get into the mid
and upper 40s.

Cold front works its way through the region Sunday night and
precip tapers off from northwest to southeast. A bit more wintry
weather is possible as it winds down.

A stronger Arctic cold front then passes through the region
Monday afternoon. Models indicating strong Lake Effect Snow well
north and west of the local forecast area, but if the trajectory
is good enough, it is possible for some streamers to make it to
the far northern zones.

Behind that front, the coldest air of the season will spread
into the region. Lows Monday night will drop into the single
digits and teens, and then highs on Tuesday will be in the teens
and low 20s. Will undercut NBM max Temps on Tuesday by several
degrees as it looks to be quite cold.

This cold snap will be brief, as the Arctic high slides offshore
Tuesday night and Wednesday, and return flow ushers a milder air
mass into the region. Temps rebound by 10-15 degrees on
Wednesday, and then closer to normal levels on Thursday.
