    DT's First Guess Map.  3 inches area wide with inexplicable 3" lollipops in the DC and Philly metro areas.  :huh:

    IMG_1035.jpeg

    ETA - The map is weird but I think that it is 2" area-wide with the 3" lollipops.

    There are parts of NW DC Metro, e.g., Montgomery County, MD, and NW Philly (like where I am), as well as Montgomery County, PA, that have rolling hills with elevations of 300 ft - 400 ft. 

    Ever since I was a kid (and even today), I was always fascinated on car trips to Willow Grove traveling north along Easton Rd. - especially going down the hill from Edge Hill Rd to Susquehanna Rd where the Roslyn train station is (which has an at-grade RR crossing, one of the few in the area).

    Similarly, I had many work trips down to D.C. metro and specifically the Rockville/Bethesda/Gaithersburg area, where the hills abound (as well as the propensity for severe storms, not unlike Willow Grove).

    So far I may have bottomed out at 29 this morning (but will see what happens in the next hour or so) and am currently at 30 with dp 23.  Will be on the lookout for flizzards and whatnot.

    Not at all. They are a mess. I'm trying to convince myself but they are too far gone and not on the same page.

    Betting? 6 point tease is where I'd go.

    I just saw where the Bills/Steelers game was moved to Monday at 4:30 pm due to an incoming blizzard.

  5. Just when I though things were done earlier this morning when the sun came out, it clouded over again and I got an additional 0.06" of rain from a band that came through the past couple hours.  That brings the total to 0.59" for the day (0.96" 2-day total).

    My high ended up being 58 just after 6 this morning and it's down to 48 and clearing, with some sun, and dp 40.

  6. Have some leftover light rain moving through but so far picked up 0.37" last night and 0.53" this morning for a 2-day event total of 0.90".  My "low" in this non-diurnal temp regime, was 49 at midnight, and so far my "high" has been my current 57, with dp 57.

    So far this storm is overhyped it is very underwhelming just some light steady rain and the wind is a complete dud maybe I had a gust to like 25 mph at best so far.  This whole dam thing sucks.  Something has to give I mean it's below zero out west now. 

    PHL hasn't gone below 0F in 30 years (since 1994). :P

    Couple of wasps spotted today in the NYC thread. Winter's coming ya little bastards, yes winter's coming.

     

    My snow drops have been spotted coming up so there's that. :lol:

    Bottomed out at 29 this morning and made itu p to 49 for a high.  There was an active breeze today as well.

    Cloud deck has moved in and some junk-n-stuff off to the west.  Currently 45 with dp 35.

  8. Due to the non-diurnal temps post-storm, my "high" happened at 12:30 am and my "low" is my current temp of 45 (so far), with dp 32.  It was good to see the sun dry things out a bit but the ground is saturated and thanks to the winds today, there were lots of branches around, although not as bad as it probably could have been.  Was glad the power held!  Looks like Chester County had the biggest impact for power outages.

  9. Heard this morning the Delaware hit a record peak at 10.66 ft for the day (at Washington Ave in South Philly).  I know one small section further north on Columbus Blvd near the Ben Franklin Bridge is like 5 ft below sea level, so that will periodically have some very minor flooding with the tides.

  10. Finished up with 3.39" of rain from the event and a small line came through here the past hour but didn't produce anything measurable here.

    Currently 52 with dp 48.  Wissahickon still rising (7.34 ft)  and Schuylkill at PHI is flooding (11.62 ft) and still going.

    Winds are so strong out of the south at PHL is using runway 17 for all arrivals and departures vs the 27/9 R/L. A few of the 789s to Europe appear to be sitting on the sidelines hoping for the crosswinds to die down enough to take off on 27/9 

    Yeah they are going to have to wait that out.

    The rope appears to be dissipating, maybe because a new one seems to have formed just to the east. The rain is getting heavier though. Let me show you the ropes:

    Screenshot_20240109_210549_Chrome.thumb.jpg.c05521d42eb87d3b6f9cf9bcb2682c23.jpg

    I'm finally "hearing" the howling winds here (from my front which is rare - I usually hear the winds in the back that faces NE).

    Wissahickon Creek (at the mouth to the Schuylkill) pretty much out of its banks now as of 8 pm so probably worse with the 9 pm update).
