Hurricane Agnes

Thank you. Do know that you are most appreciated here. I am always supportive of your office. I was a fed for 32 years before retiring almost 5 years ago and know first hand, about the abuse that feds often get thrown at them. We were, are, and always will be "regular folk" who have a mission of public service. Thank you. Starting to get more and more creaky nowadays. I know this is RedSky's fave -->

Thank you. And that stuff has some kick.

Thank you. I should get me some of that PA Dutch Eggnog that I have left in the fridge.

Thank you. As my BIL always quips - glad to be "upright".

My temps have continued to creep up and am currently at 39 with some windswept light rain here and there, and dp 38. About 3/4 of the snowpack is gone, but then since it was such a dry snow, that was to be expected.

I will 3rd that!

Thanks much!

Thank you. Thank you guys too! Best birthday present. A troll be in timeout.

Today is my 60th birthday. I could be your mother but am thankfully not. You need to be on a time out.

Apparently an Accuweather met tweeted out a 0.25" accretion out their way near State College.

That possibility was there but apparently didn't happen on this side of the state. I was concerned that even with above freezing temps, the ground was so cold that rain would freeze on contact but at least where I am, the precip held off until the past couple hours or so.

When that arctic front comes through, everything wet is going to flash freeze!

And to echo the above, the sun finally popped out a bit (albeit briefly and obscured when it does appear since we are in a dry slot), although there is still a thick cloud deck and what looks to be more precip out in central PA. Temp crept up to 36 with dp 32 and got 0.03" in the bucket (so far).

Updated Mt. Holly WWA map with mPING locations - When I had checked RadarScope earlier, there was one report in then NW 'burbs reporting IP too. Still at 35 with drizzle but dp now up to 30.

Just saw the ice storm warning - Currently 35 with dp 29 and now getting some drizzle and light rain.

Here was the updated WWA map issued earlier this morning from Mt. Holly -

Temp here now up to 36 with dp 28 and overcast. Sun hasn't made an appearance here as yet through the cloud deck. My low so far this morning was actually at midnight at 25. Half the snowpack is gone and lots of melting going on.

WWA tweaked to remove Philly, New Castle, DE & Mercer/Middlesex, NJ - When I pulled up the radar about 90 minutes ago, I was a bit surprised to see that it was generally void of precip, so it's moving slower than progged and is hitting that subsidence from the dry air. However it has moistened up gradually here overnight. My current 24 dp is like day and night compared to the 9 that got down to yesterday. Temp here is now up to 30 and there is a distinct deck of clouds overhead.

Non-diurnal trend continued overnight IMBY and I am now up to 29 with dp 23, with a deck of clouds overhead.

Probably whoever is left posting in the Tropical forum.

He has to "manage" the elves who are making all the toys all year and then train all the up and coming "Rudolphs" so they can light the way for the next generation. As a quick obs - The high just tapped 30 here (low was 19) and then dropped down to ~23 late this afternoon but is now on the rise again and is currently 25. The dp had dropped down to as low as 9 but has actually gone up and is now 16. There have been a few puffs of breeze but otherwise, with a clear sky, fresh snowpack, and not much wind, will see how it responds overnight or continues the non-diurnal rise.

I'm trying to remember but I think way back, one of the mods here had Heat Miser (maybe Rib?).

I didn't even recognize you! Around these parts, you would be swamped by a pile of these guys -

It's like blizzarding for 24 hours. Classic juicy Miller A from the GOM and up the coast.
