Wind/rain/thunder, then cold: Obs for Tuesday/Wednesday 4/15-16/2014

[RedSky]

Big flakes and ending soon

 

32F

[KamuSnow]

wet snow - 36F

Wet snow here too, big flakes, no accumulation on anything at this point, but impressive. 35F.  A couple of deer sitting out on the front lawn taking it in, lol. Pretty amazing, 6 months in a row now that some snow has fallen.

[JERSEYSNOWROB]

Back to all snow here in marlboro! Gigantic flakes.

[Rib]

Mixing with snow here! It's actually snowing! This is a poor man's 4/9/2000 but I will take it. 80s, then snow.

[KamuSnow]

The back edge went through here about 15 minutes ago, just cloudy now and the temp went up 1 degree to 36F.

The spring peepers didn't miss a beat.

[famartin]

After mixing with sleet for a while it finally switched to mainly snow in Ewing

[BBasile]

Rain/snow mix now.  34.9F / 0.73" rain

[dieselbug]

Mostly sleet now in Southern DE, with a few big flakes mixed in.  I'm cracking up listening to the loud pinging outside the bedroom window...

 

Temp is 37....keep in mind it was 67 at 5pm! 

[JERSEYSNOWROB]

Coating of snow on grassy areas and cars here in Marlboro,NJ. Still coming down.

[JERSEYSNOWROB]

Starting to stick to my street too!

[SmokeEater]

What the heck is this????

[Mitchell Gaines]

Thanks for the reports! 

[RU848789]

We got a good 3/8" of snow/sleet mixture in Metuchen in the past hour or so, with temps at 34F around midnight, dropping to 31F by about 12:45 am, allowing the snow to actually accumulate a bit on cars, grass and even some roads - I just drove home from work in Rahway and there were slick spots.  Very impressed for 4/15.

[Absolute Humidity]

1.5" snow sleet tonight, incredible.

[Voyager]

Wow...the snow regions got it again...lol. Up here, we got some snow, but it only stuck to cars, and even that was light (less than 1/4 inch). Nothing really in the grass at my house. I guess I'll find out if my work location in Carbon County saw a little bit more.

[famartin]

32 at PHL... latest freeze since 4/22/1988.

[Quakertown needs snow]

current: 25.7f

hope lowes brought all their flowers inside

[Pohopoco]

Ended up w/2" of Snow...As of now 18 dgs,feels so nice...

[chubbs]

30F low - 1.88"

28.6 in NW Chesco wtih scattered car top and grass coatings in the area.

[KamuSnow]

Made it down to 29F here an hour ago. 1.90" of rain, just (technically) a trace of snow last night due to melting on contact. Brisk out there, feels like March, invigorating. Keeping my fingers crossed for last night and tonight regarding freeze damage to all the flowering trees, etc.

[JERSEYSNOWROB]

Measured 1.0 of snow on my patio table at 9am this morning here in Marlboro, NJ Monmouth County. I'm guessing we probably had a bit more before then though. Regardless, still impressive!

[BucksCO_PA]

A couple of tenths this morning at the office in Dayton, NJ

Still a coating at almost 1:00pm on the shaded areas, impressive cold with full sun this time of year

Yes, I had the same thought, 1:30 pm and it's "only" 43F here. Was hoping for closer to 50 so that tonight wouldn't be quite as brutal as it appears to have the potential to be. Thinking about the vegetation and all.

[PAPPG]

43.4F/DP18

NNW@11mph

Clear skies and HP overhead

looks like it could get real cold tonite!

Clear skies and HP overhead

looks like it could get real cold tonite!

Temps will keep rising until about 5:00, but that DP should easily support mid 20s which will cause siginificant

freeze damage since that is several degrees colder than this morning.  The only thing that may lessen the impact

would be any wind we can hang on to.

would be any wind we can hang on to.

The wind likely resulted in greater damage this morning given many areas were marginally cold, which normally would've meant the plant tissues could stay a little warmer; however, the wind likely allowed tissues to cool to sub-freezing levels faster than they might have done without the wind.  Tonight the issue will be whether light winds will allow for ideal radiational cooling in the rural and suburban areas; urban areas should be safer.
