Rain to Snow obs for January 20th winter event
Hurricane Agnes replied to ChescoWx's topic in Philadelphia Region
Looks like I'm done here. Had a dusting on the grass that has mostly melted away. Total precip of rain + snowmelt was 0.45". Currently overcast and 32 with dp dropping now and down to 29. -

Currently sitting at 32 with dp the same and the back edge seems to be getting close. Have SN-- (a bit more than flurries but not by much). Just have a dusting on the grassy areas so far. -

Temp has crept down to 34 here (dp 33) and the snow has commenced. Am getting SN- and whatever is falling is obviously melting on the street/walks although some is hanging on a little longer on colder surfaces before melting. Ended up with 0.42" in the bucket before the switchover. -

Forgot there would probably be an event obs thread. Here is what I posted in the regular obs thread - Actually had a "low" of 37 just before 6 am so will see how this little temp roller coaster goes before the main front comes through. -

Yup... Got to come up with "50 ways to leave your models" (yeah that is corny and deserves a weenie tag ). My temp has dropped below freezing now and am at 30 with dp 20. -

Considering that many of us have nothing on the ground, the long range models have been showing systems slip sliding away, and then there is this part in the tweet (with an exclamation point) - I'd say that is a booster for the folks in this subforum. -

Mt. Holly is bullish on the "sneaky system" for Thursday! -

Actually made it up to 38 today and it was definitely a breezy and "unsettled" day for sure. Currently 36 and mostly cloudy with breaks of sunhere and there and a dp of 20. -

There are streamers (am guess some Lake effect) that have been blasting across PA all day so far. I haven't actually gone out to look for any mini squalls but I know there have been periods where the sky has darkened enough to turn on the lights that operate on sensors. It's currently 38 here with dp down to 21. There is also a water main break in my area that they are repairing (I guess with the frigid temps it was expected), so I have no water at the moment. -

Well it certainly moves up further north. But the precursor storm might suck the living daylights out of the atmosphere too. -

Someone in "SE Nazareth" reported 0.60". Those streamers probably operate like plumes of smoke where there will be breaks in the flow dependent on the strength of the wind and then when the wind shifts direction slightly, obviously the streamer shifts with it. It always cracks me up when some of those streamers manage to make it all the way down here to Philly, sometimes creating a brief flizzard. I'll look on the radar at amazement that it made it all the way diagonally across the state like that. Edit to add KCCX's view of it. -

Yeah - there is apparently a broad lake-effect batch of precip in the middle of the state too. The below is the streamer that has been sitting over you! -

Models all over the map wrt to what is going on over the MW. The Canadian seems to be similar to the GFS except it forms the low off the coast of the Carolinas and then sends it OTS (but brushes the southern part of up here).
