Hurricane Agnes

Ditto - just got under a heavier band and am at least SN and rising.

Exactly! There were days when they would take almost the whole 30 minutes on KYW reading off school numbers, county by county, in 3 states (including those who were closed or had delayed openings). Now it seems the suburban schools do robocalls/texts/email blasts and some of the local stations will have a list on their websites. Philly public and Archdiocesan schools do get the KYW closure mention that takes like 5 seconds. Currently 28 w/dp 27, somewhere between SN- and SN with some fog.

Mt. Holly giving a nod to the "earlier risers" (IOW the too excited to go to bedders ) - That far western part of the CWA and their cash-in didn't seemed to be progged but I did see where they got a WSW upgrade.

Woke up around 2 am to look out and saw SN+. Looks to be almost 2" now and SN, with temp 28 with dp 27.

La Nina winter, although we didn't do too badly last year with one (but this year's is a bit stronger). Once the pattern flips, we'll be like Denver (typically) with "spring snow".

I think as long as you have an Eagles avatar (Nick Foles I think), you know where you must go!

I defaulted to that being on and those are mPINGS - https://mping.nssl.noaa.gov/ Am guessing that Radarscope just grabs that data to include in their radar datasets.

Ahhh.... I figured there were some folks from out that way around lurking. This must be you -->

Mt. Holly is throwing some nods to the snowmisers -

I do have radarscope which is great on mobile but have also been using GR2Analyst to get the finer rez dopplers (in addition to the GRLevel3). I see a blob of something that has to be reaching the ground coming out of Lancaster and moving into Chesco.

Actually made it up to 39 today after a low of 33. It was variable with periods of overcast and sun during the daylight in any case. Am down to 34 but that dp depression is pretty significant from earlier today and is down to 18.

Okay. It looks to be thumping down in central/southwestern WV and eastern KY.

Maybe because there are some returns streaming up this way from the SW. I don't know if any of it is reaching the ground but Mike would be the best judge of that since a blob is sitting over that area. is it virga or the real thing yet?

WSW for Jersey - And WWA for PA & DE -

They all seem to be reflecting some variation of the hole which seems to suggest some kind of Miller B (or hybrid Miller B ) and we all know how that goes - 2 rounds where everything "stops" after round 1 and then it jumps to the coast and transfers to a new low and ramps up for round 2. And where it reforms will establish the screw zone before the wrap-around bands finally come into play as it pulls away.

CMC seems to show the same initial "snow hole" before speeding the thing along to give what appears to be some back end thumping as the storm bombs out on its way to NE.

The latest from Mt. Holly -

WWA's issued - Hit a high of 45 today after a low of 25. Currently 43 and overcast but clearing to the west, with dp 39.

Mt. Holly's call from earlier this morning - Am currently overcast and 34, with dp 32, so whatever was frozen is slowly melting (although those coldest surfaces were pretty cold, but the precip was light). People were scraping the car windows this morning. I saw the alert that the Passyunk Ave. bridge was closed due to icy conditions/accidents.

Have had on and off ZL but it also looks like there may have been some IP at some point earlier (hard to tell on my car since it's white but other cars that are dark-colored appear to almost have a light coating of snow or IP on the roof and hood). Temp is currently 31 with dp 27 so it will be close to melt point soon.

I just found this that illustrated the ENSO state of 2009 - from what would be "the strongest warming event for an El Nino in 30 years" (although it would result in a "moderate" El Nino) - I never thought a season/calendar year would ever break the 1996 winter in my lifetime but here we were. And then 2013/2014 did it again (although not as much as 2009/2010 but still more than 1996). Of course this is the 2nd season in a row with a La Nina so the same sort of dynamics technically shouldn't apply and it is expected to start to fade to neutral this spring and possibly evolve back to an El Nino during the summer.

Mt. Holly's thoughts just tweeted for tomorrow morning (sounds dicey) and Thursday/Friday -

Well a bunch of WWAs just got lofted - Temp here currently 33 with dp 21 after a high of 35.

I was trying to see if there may have been some initial mixing and then a backend thump. The sheer quantity of the first one for some locations was significant nonetheless and unless you had a rapid warmup and near flooding rain (like what happened in 1996 and even that didn't take it all away), then there would have been snowpack still there for the next storm. There is a cool site that had some snow maps of those 2 events (and some other area HECS/SECS over the years) - https://www.weathernj.com/major-new-jersey-snow-storms/

Probably in 2009/2010 - the banner season where I measured something like 70" IMBY (and almost 58" for the 2010 calendar year alone). And snow on snow for South Jersey/Delaware would have happened with a 2/5 - 2/6/10 storm followed a few days later by a 2/9 - 2/10/10 storm (with Delaware's totals coming in worse in some cases, than Jersey with the 2nd storm) - Winter Storm Feb 5-6, 2010 https://www.weather.gov/phi/02052010 Winter Storm Snowfall Totals Feb 9-10, 2010 https://www.weather.gov/phi/20102010 That first hit left 15" - 24" at the shore and wouldn't have disappeared 3 days later before the next round came in with an additional range of 3" - 12" (depending on location).
