January 28th/29th Event Obs - From KU to FU?
Hurricane Agnes replied to JTA66's topic in Philadelphia Region
Here is something cool - you can see the snow cover on the ground in central PA from the satellite where the sky is clear view (area marked). -

Did a 10:00 am measurement and got 4.0" (that will be added to the 0.5" from yesterday's PRE that disappeared before this came in). Temp has still been falling and is now down to 16 with dp 14. Still have very fine flaked SN with blowing but the intensity is up a notch. -

I'm probably going to try to do a SWE later where I am as I expect the ratio might be higher here since I am further away from that big ocean than you are. Temp keeps on falling here and I'm now down to 17 with dp 15. The "high" was 29 at midnight. -

Looks just as powdery there too since it appears to have blown right off the boat and there isn't much on the car! -

Temp still dropping and now down to 18 with dp 16. Still SN but with more blowing around off the roofs. -

Temp still dropping and am down to 19 with dp 17. And some kind of low rolled off the Carolinas. (sorry don't mind my silliness this morning... am operating on fumes) -

As it continues to move NE eventually that main band is going to start to pivot and come east. The far edge of it has literally been way back across Lancaster for the past 12 hours (regardless of how little might actually be making it to the ground out there), although I noticed it is now moving away to the east from there and is getting closer to the border of far western Chester County. -

Temp continues to drop as the arctic air pours in and am now down to 20 with dp 18 and SN that is some really fine stuff. Getting more wind now so it is starting to blow around. -

I think it is still there and strung out with what might be showing up as the "dominant" one being west. Might be that irregular blob of convection on the below. (edit - I annotated it as a WAG) - And I just edited my earlier post - meant WAY EAST (am still sucking down coffee this morning ) -

Yeah I was thinking the pushing thing would be a bear although at least it wouldn't have a chute that gets clogged. WPC did a surface map about 2 1/2 hours ago and that thing is way west MEANT EAST - sortof where GFS had said it would be awhile ago. -

That Wovel looks pretty cool. Probably does great on the powdery stuff when there is too much to sweep away with a broom... although I'm not sure how well it would do with the wet heavy cement type snow. But then snowblowers don't work that well with the cement snow either. Looks like the heavier band moved just off the coast. -

Went out to hand-measure and that is some snow-cone powdery snow. Measured 3.25" so far (total of whatever may have been left from the PRE through to now. Although there is some light breeze, there hasn't been enough where the board is, to start blowing and drifting yet. I expect as the storm gets closer, the winds will increase. -

Some in S. Jersey not far from AC reporting 11" and so far a Forked River 12.5" spotter report is the highest showing up over there. -

Mid-level WV really shows the kicker trough and what looks like some convection on the possible front-right quadrant of where the low is. -

Currently looks to be at least 3" here on my board (based on one of those marked snow rulers) and will go out later with the ruler to confirm. Big note is that the temp that hung around 29/30 through yesterday did a gradual drop to the current 23 at post time with dp 22. Still have SN with very fine flakes. The heavier band appears to be sitting right along the river. -

The storm is still all strung-out near the Carolinas. WPC issued a surface map about 15 minutes ago (timed at 4:47 am UTC/11:47 pm ET) -

Currently fine-flaked SN and 29 with dp 28. Have about 1.5" out there (ballparked). ETA - treated streets and walks have now caved. -

WPC retweeted NWS Boston's radar animation of what looks like a water vapor/cloud image showing the intensification happening (and I saw of some "low" because the "lows" have been plentiful with this thing ) -
