Hurricane Agnes

Getting a light shower with some flakes mixed in. Temp down to 42. Sun is trying to break through.

KPNE reported a 58 mph wind gust. Temp here is down to 43 and it's overcast with a strong active breeze.

My pressure bottomed out at 28.90 mb at storm onset. From what I posted in the obs thread - Cape May Harbor mesonet recorded a 73 mph wind gust.

Got 0.11" out of the quick gust front. Looks like the strongest winds have been reported in the southern part of the CWA with one 60 mph to the north in Mercer County, NJ. Cape May Harbor mesonet reported a 73 mph gust. Temp is down to 51 here now and the winds have picked up.

It's here. Gully washer. Winds kicking with the gust front. ETA - adding updated doppler.

You certainly did!

Incoming! Temp up up to 57 here. Was just saving the attached image when the Warning got lofted over me. Lotta stuff going on in the CWA.

You made me look at mine - downsloping in effect and temp has shot up to 55 here but still misty. Warnings lofted and getting closer to the I-95 corridor.

We may be in some severe weather now! Storm damage from winds down in MD and severe thunderstorm warnings up west of here.

There have been a couple TORRs down in northern MD this morning.

Well one thing to look out for today are the winds. With the ground so saturated, I wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot of trees down.

Possibly because it had started raining there. Am now getting the rain here and am up to 0.18" with improved visibility but not by much. Earlier I was almost completely socked in!

Ended up with 0.54" rain on Thursday and 0.13" so far today. Currently very foggy w/vis < 1/10th of a mile, so need a bit more than a SPS for this. Temp is currently 46 with dense fog and mist.

Had 0.06" rain yesterday and am 0.41" this morning (so far). Currently 37 and drizzly/misty.

Incoming? (watched Punxsutawney Phil this morning and they were getting light powdery snow out there at the time of Phil's cancelling of winter...)

The one thing I was gonna quote from a post upthread regarding 2001 - 2002, which is what you touched on in your post so I'll use that to jump off on, was that after 9/11, the spigot turned off that fall leading into the winter season (resulting in little snow), and then we went into a drought. That meant less and less surface and ground water, with dry begetting dry, leading to serious extended heatwaves, with ocassional triple digit temps and whatnot by that summer. So far I haven't seen that sort of BN precipitation this season, as we have generally been getting pretty close to normal - albeit in liquid form - at least so far. So as long as there is precip, it lessens the chance for the more extreme heatwaves.

I think this is showing the weakness in the models with using past climo because although there are climatological cycles of weather, the "floor" of that sine curve has shifted warmer over the past couple decades, which can sometimes mean the difference between snow/sleet/rain. Plus the increased urbanization, expansion of the density of the suburbs, and even suburbanization of the exburbs, has contributed to more marginal events save for those times when the ENSO state and teleconnections are optimum. On the plus side - at least Alaska is actually having a "winter". They have been above normal during winter the past bunch of years to the point where the state has been losing far too much of its much-needed permafrost.

I had looked back on the archive here and it only goes back to around January 2011. I don't know if Randy and crew ever archived the old EasternWx site or what.

How about some old old school (loved this song when it came out) -

I ended up with 1.87" of rain on Saturday and yesterday I discovered that my Snowdrops had emerged and are blooming, so there's that! Also had to swerve around groundhog roadkill yesterday, so they are apparently awake and moving above ground instead of sleeping. The Punxsutawney handlers may end up trying to pull Phil out of his burrow next weekend and discover he is long gone foraging elsewhere.

They are saying that the area was socked in with fog at the time and that it was so bad that the police had grounded their own copters. Just horrible!

I don't have the individual totals IMBY as I think it may have been on an older computer (plus I discarded the running totals each year when I updated my sigfile) - but I had almost 6ft of snow for the season that year - Snow/sleetfall 2009 - 2010 season = 70.38" [Calendar year 2010 = 57.50"] One of my younger nieces had a 4th birthday during February of 2010 and we were trudging through snow to get her to the facility for her party and her then-19 year old sis thankfully got there too since she was also in college out-of-state (Delaware) during that time!

Not all necessarily "rock" but mixed genres - And a recent one that I stumbled on that was popular a few years ago - And from the famous historical musical (where Alexander Hamilton did experience a devastating hurricane in his native West Indies island of Nevis/St. Kitts in 1772 as a teen and wrote about it) -

I know there's a slide of me when I was about 3 or 4 standing in front of the car (I think it was in the fall) with his "slide camera" case on a strap around my neck. In full living color. We had started converting some of those slides about 20 years ago and since the film itself was considered a "positive", they had to create negatives from those (at $1 a piece at the time) and then use the negatives to make prints. Now they have consumer units geared towards slides to illuminate/scan them and save the images digitally to the computer or a USB stick... One of my "projects" for one day.... one day.

I grew up in 2 different Ford station wagons (Country Squire and LTD Country Squire) and my mom used to dub the snow tires "the truck tires". We kept them in a basement closet. And yup, we were swapping them out all the way to the late '70s (right around the time of the blizzard of '78).
