Hurricane Agnes

Looks like that is all done and temp is down to 34 and mostly cloudy.

Have gone from flurries to SN. LOL It's trying to stick and is slowly dropping the temp (still 35 but instead of 35.2, it's 34.9).

I was over at my sister's house yesterday and got ladybugged to death yesterday as I was wrapping her fig. It had hit a high of 63 in this area yesterday so it was a good day to do it. But that is all a memory as I got flakes flying here with the temp down to 35 after a high earlier this morning of 54. Looks like a heavier band is incoming.

I saw that a few RERs were issued this morning - ILG (tied record low of 24), MPO (record low of 11, previous 13), & TTN (smashed record low with a 19, previous 24). It did manage to make it up to 40 here today and is currently 35 & partly cloudy.

Bottomed out at 22 (21.7) here this morning. Currently 35, partly sunny (with quite a bit of cirrus) and dps in the teens, so it's pretty chilly for this time of year... although with little or no wind, it's not too bad.

Ended up with 0.15" rain yesterday with a high of 59 & low of 38. And this morning I bottomed out at 32 (31.8) and haven't moved much since as it's currently 38 and partly cloudy with a bunch of puffy cumulus.

Wow. Tom Lamaine is a blast from the past. I remember being glued to TWC during it (that was probably their "peak" period of existence). Earlier in the week, the storm was being pooh-poohed as maybe a couple inches. Then as we got closer to the weekend it became 2-4", then 3-5", then like Saturday morning, it was up to 6-10", then 10-12", and on and on as it hit that Sunday and just kept up all day Monday. It was wild watching TWC having to keep adding new colors to their precip map to designate snow depths. LOL - just found this. Lee's recording of footage of some of TWC's Blizzard Warning and local forecast from back then - Some other clips here (from "TWC Classics") - https://twcclassics.com/watch.php?file=960107-a-new-day-blizzard-of-96-coverage https://twcclassics.com/watch.php?file=960107-blizzard-of-96-coverage-1-pm https://twcclassics.com/watch.php?file=winter-storm-lf-3pm-010796 https://twcclassics.com/watch.php?file=winter-storm-lf-530pm-010696

Had a high of 52 yesterday and bottomed out at 32 (31.5) this morning. The frost was heavy on the cars to boot. Currently recovering pretty quickly though, up to 39 (apparently a return flow starting as others around the area are in that range), and mostly sunny.

Bottomed out at 33 here this morning and yup, with a dp low of 28 and calm conditions between 4 am & 7 am, there was frost on the cars. Currently 40 and clear.

Here are the LSRs for Delaware County and for Bucks County -

I was thinking that was near where you are (or at least north of you). I am really shocked that it was an EF2, which is rare around this area during the severe season, let alone when we are well into fall.

Rebekah was post-tropical as of the 5 am update -

Wow. I saw that the NWS confirmed an EF2 in Delco - I guess what was originally considered a "meh" line decided to prove that it had other plans. My sister who lives in Wyndmoor has had her power out since last night and and most of her township (Springfield in Montco) had outages including the schools (which were closed today due to that).

Both my sisters (one in Delco and one in Montco) have power out. Heard the EAS around 11:30 pm and heard the wind roar, although I was expecting some lightning/thunder but didn't see/hear any, so this was mostly a gust front. Temp was 71 around 11 pm and once the front came through, fell off a cliff. Finished up with 0.65" or rain total yesterday and have 0.19" so far this morning. Currently down to 44 and clear but windy.

Looks like Norman swooped in and put up a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for the Philly metro area - Meanwhile I'm up to 0.32" of rain for the day so far (spread throughout) and currently 70.

5 pm update (expected to go post-tropical overnight) -

Ended up with 0.17" of rain yesterday spread over much of the day, with a low of 59 and high of 64. It's currently overcast and misty and a juicy 66 with 0.09" of rain so far that happened early this a.m.

5 am update (still expected to be post-tropical in a day or so) -

Here's the cone -

11 am update (now post-tropical and last advisory being issued) - Almost November, way up in the N. Atlantic, and shorter days, means cold!

5 am update (like a nova releasing all its energy and collapsing) -

11 pm update (hiccuped down to a TS) -

5 pm discussion (at some point it will be impacted by that huge hurricane-looking low to its west) -

Pretty sharp precip cutoff with the front and the sun had popped out about 30 minutes ago although there are some debris clouds around at the moment. Ended up with 1.43" of rain, with the heaviest rates between 11 am and noon (around 1"/hr). Low was 54 this morning and it hit 70 around an hour ago although currently it's down to 69 and mostly cloudy, with breaks in the ceiling where you can see the blue sky.
