    Ended up hitting a high of 58 yesterday and had a low of 36 this morning. Still had some leftover patches of frozen stuff (sleet) in some of the protected areas. Currently sunny with some scattered cirrus and 46/dp 35.

    There are others of us who like "weather", no matter what type and certainly we do get severe and recently, an uptick of tornadoes, along with some kind of hurricane/TS remnant coming over the CWA. As an obs, had a low of 30 this morning and it's currently at 46 with dp 28. Since we had more sleet yesterday than other areas, there are still patches of frozen in the shaded grassy areas.

    Just getting virga. It did cloud over and get darkish. The air is so dry it might have a hard time wringing anything out though. Temp here is 32 with dp 15.

    Here's the updated PNS & LSRs from early this morning (KPHL ended up with 0.4") -

    My low for yesterday ended up being just before midnight at 21 and this morning's low was 20. My lowest dp this morning was 8 but I have recovered to 14 and my current temp of 29 is so far my high for the day, with it mostly sunny.
  6. Hurricane Agnes
    As a regular obs, I did get up to 47 today as a high and that was just before 6 am when the storm was just getting underway. Am currently at my low so far of 25, with dp now down to 14. My eventual low for the day is TBD 'cause I know the temps will continue to fall over night.

    5 pm PNS and LSRs (KPHL reported "T" for 1 pm, which didn't make the last version - will have to see if they got anything from the last rounds if/when an update comes out) -

    Was just getting ready to post that this is the first "clearing" I've had since yesterday (it didn't really clear or brighten much in between bands here). Sun is out and it's just over 30 minutes before sunset.
  9. Hurricane Agnes
    Glad you S. Jersey guys managed to cash in on something, and especially where you are not far from the ocean. I'm down to 25 here with dp continuing to drop and now at 17 so that arctic air is on the way there.

    Just did another measurement for what fell from the last time (including the last 2 bands) and got 0.5" additional (compacted). Hard to measure with the winds blowing stuff on the cleared part of the board but managed to find spots to average that small amount. Temp is now down to 25 with dp 18 and there's just some leftover flurries along with some blowing/drifting snow. I'll go on and call the final event total 1.61" (to include the initial 0.1" sleet prior to the onset of the snow).

    Steve Sosna (NBC10 on KYW) just mentioned that there was a 70-car pile up out in Harrisburg. Getting lots of blowing SN- to SN at the moment.
  12. Hurricane Agnes
    Snow has started up again and I am just getting the leading edge of it. There's a lot of blowing. Temp down to 26 with dp 20.
  13. Hurricane Agnes
    That 2nd band is getting close to me now. Will see how it manifests as the snow here through the event, has been generally light to moderate (haven't had any whiteout conditions yet). I'm also curious how far east that lake effect popcorn snow is going to get and if it reaches here.
  14. Hurricane Agnes
    I remember when they changed the tone (key) of the hour/half hour time beep and eventually got so much bad feedback that they changed it back. So maybe one day... one day. Dry air continues to ooze in and my dp is now down to 20 (temp still 27).
  15. Hurricane Agnes
    Currently in the lull between bands. Temp is 27 and dp continues to drop and is at 22.
  16. Hurricane Agnes
    Radio anchor at KYW was just reporting earlier that "visibility was poor" downtown where they are (the studio is up in one of the buildings at 24th and Market - I think the Aramark building).
  17. Hurricane Agnes
    Ack. It's hard to travel in the winter. Supposed to have a low of 37 down in Clearwater tonight but should warm up tomorrow (perhaps to Philly area "warm" in 60s vs Florida "warm") and even warmer the rest of the week.
  18. Hurricane Agnes
    Here comes the colder air. Getting some really gusty winds and finer SN with blowing. Temp down to 27 with dp down to 23.
  19. Hurricane Agnes
    Getting dark here again and now getting some light snow. Temp is 30 with dp 24.
  20. Hurricane Agnes
    Here is a recent WPC surface analysis showing that "other" low (circled) that is apparently feeding that incoming band. You can see the main low off the coast of LI.
  21. Hurricane Agnes
    This is just wild - the lake effect snow is not blowing over PA from Lake Erie but is coming all the way from Lake Michigan.
  22. Hurricane Agnes
    Currently overcast and still 31 but the dp continues to drop and is down to 24. Will see if that heavier band holds together as it moves west.
  23. Hurricane Agnes
    Was trying to point and click to it but finally got to the SPS that was issued for the area -
  24. Hurricane Agnes
    Currently overcast with temp still below freezing but creeping up (heat of the day). Temp is 31 with dp 25 (which has been creeping down). Will see if that band out west holds together. I expect a cold blast behind it regardless.
  25. Hurricane Agnes
    There was an initial PNS and LSR that issued around the 1 pm timeframe and KPHL didn't report for either of those. I expect they might for the next one. I saw where a spotter in Willow Grove report ZR.
