January 28th/29th Event Obs - From KU to FU?
Hurricane Agnes replied to JTA66's topic in Philadelphia Region
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 ) - -

It runs every hour so if you don't like a run, wait for the next one. Currently 30 here with dp 29 and colder parts of the streets are starting to cave. Despite the marginal surface temps, the snow is actually fine and would be about SN level. It's interesting that the current band that goes back to about Lancaster County, has been basically sitting over the area from there to the coast for the past 5 hours or so. I do see a R/S line not far off the coast though so not sure what will happen with that. -

Currently getting some variable SN- to SN from a band that has been overhead and had a heavier return (attached in this post) that moved through briefly and added a coating back to the bare cars and colder/untreated surfaces where there was snow melt/evaporation. It is below freezing now at 31 with dp 28. -

I have been talking about the "dance of the lows" the past couple days. And the models were depicting the do si do and other dance moves up the coast. -

Ahh okay... missed that. As an obs, currently 32 with dp 28 and except for grassy/mulched areas, the 0.5" of snow that I got from round 1 (PRE) is gone. Am attaching the 18z 3k NAM. -

IMHO a 4" - 8" (W --> E) in the I-95 corridor might still be a good call although I think Mt. Holly gave it a wider range initially - 4 - 11". -

Just hitting 32 now with dp 29 and the higher dbz band just went poof as it moved to the NE of me. So the melting of what I got so far has commenced while the sky is getting brighter (although no sun at this point). -
