Hurricane Agnes

Something should be sitting over your now!

Heads up! Something may be headed your way!

Now finally getting some flakes. Also seeing frozen drips on some of the bare tree branches. I can add a T for snow now.

Well now down to 30 and sitting under a snow blob but am not seeing any flakage. Finished up with 1.07" for the day (1.50" 2 day).

Now down to 31 and sitting under ZR. But it would take awhile to have any buildup since the surfaces should still be relatively warmish but anything wet will definitely be freezing over. Am up to 1.07" rain for the day.

Now sitting at 32 and am a couple minutes from sunset (although obviously can't see any sun )...

Western Chesco getting ZR'd. I'm sitting at 32.9 and am up to 1.05" of rain for the day so far.

Mt. Holly tweeted out some pics from Sussex County NJ with the ice accretion in NW NJ -

Could be elevation. It's still raining lightly too. I put the cover on my car windshield Wednesday before the rain hit yesterday and flipped up the wipers. ZR line moving in...

Now at the precipice - currently 33 with dp 33, and still some intermittent light rain (0.99" today so far).

Temp continues to drop here as the cold air oozes in. Am now down to 37 with continued light rain (0.79" so far today).

Currently down to 41 and leveling there (a 15 degree drop from today's earlier high), with dp 40 and 0.57" in the bucket, with light rain still ongoing, that appears to be breaking up soon. I wouldn't be surprised if the rain is steadying the temps and once it's done, another drop will happen.

Have leveled off at 42 and still getting light rain. Now up to 0.50" for today...

Some recent Mt. Holly tweets as the front was moving -

Pulled out view and you can see where things stand at the moment. There's a report (public) of 0.7" of sleet in Port Matilda Centre County PA. A spotter has 0.2" freezing rain up in Montoursville (Lycoming county), PA

Down to 42 with some steady light rain and now at 0.39" (0.82" for the 2 days) and a fascinating doppler. You can definitely see where the freezing line is and there is that band now cutting through Jersey with the cold air behind it.

Now down to 43 and lol'ing. Up to 0.35" in the bucket at post time (total 0.78").

And just like that - BOOM - the passage of the precip line heralded an 8 degree temp drop. Now down to 47 with dp 46. Am up to 0.32" of rain so far (0.75" for the 2 days). EDIT - now down to 46 (9 degree drop) and winds have picked up.

Am under that little line of heavier precip (1/3rd in/hr so far) and am up to 0.29" with steady rain. Temp holding at 55.

There are still some Kamu-sized plowed mounds around that are about to become glaciers, but just looked and yeah, almost all (except for some patches here and there in shady/north-facing areas) is gone.

WPC's outlook -

Last briefing issued by Mt. Holly - Currently holding at 54 (EDIT - just ticked up to 55) here in NW Philly with dp 54. Got a couple hundreds more of rain and am up to 0.24" for the day (total 0.67" for the 2-day event). Looks like there is a heavier band pushing down this way from the NW.

Ended up with 0.43" of rain yesterday with a non-diurnal high of 51 around 11:30 pm last night. Have 0.20" additional rain this morning (total 0.63 for the 2-day event) with current temp 54 and dp the same. Am in a brief precipitation lull at the moment with scattered returns nearby on radar.

February IS the shortest month! I was just looking at what the Great Lakes ice coverage has been considering the recent arctic intrusions and some significant double digit below 0 lows in the upper MW this morning and found that it looks like Lake Erie is mostly frozen over (but not so much the bigger lakes), so at least for PA, that would pretty much shut off the lake effect machine. Am currently still holding at 46 with dp 46 and periodic light rain (now up to 0.35").

The old threads are still around in this forum. For example, one in early January (my birthday..lol) where an Advisory was lofted for the CWA - Another featuring a sleet-fest - VD storm with 2 rounds including sleet - If you go back to pgs 18 and 19 all the glory of that is there. My temp shot up to 46 and now the fog is back and getting worse. Am also getting some occasional light rain. When I was clearing the snow off my car from the last storm, I saw some robins running along my walk and hopping over a few shoveled show chunks in their way. I know some have started staying year round but growing up, they used to pretty much migrate and when you saw them again, they were "the harbinger of spring".
