    Seeing dark clouds off to the west of me. It's on it's way! :

    If the band running through Montco keeps on its current track and stays together, I may get hit with it here in NW Philly. Current temp is 32 and it's partly sunny at the moment.

    I saw/heard Mt. Holly issuing the various Snow Squall Warnings. May end up getting more from that than this last event!

    GFS ensembles -- (also from what I have read, the PV is pretty strong at the moment which precludes it breaking apart).
  5. Hurricane Agnes
    Went out and measured and have 0.20" and am down to flurries. There's a coating on the cars (mostly those that weren't driven today) and just a light dusting on some open grassy areas but nothing on the larger plants or walks or streets. Temp still just above freezing at 33.

    The SN- is getting a bit closer to SN and what has fallen so far has finally chilled the ground and colder surfaces and am now starting to get a coating on the car and some grassy areas. Walks and streets are still wet and temp is now at 33.
  7. Hurricane Agnes
    Still getting some SN- but with finer flakes with nothing on the grass, streets or walks but a dusting trying to hang onto the car windshields. Temp is 34.
  8. Hurricane Agnes
    A relatively "heavier" band is coming over me but still have SN- with nothing sticking on the grass or colder surfaces yet. The ground was probably too warm the past couple days. Would need pretty heavy rates to chill the ground at this point. Temp is down to 34.
  9. Hurricane Agnes
    Temp now down to 35 and getting light snow and a little fog. Rate is still light so not seeing stickage yet.
  10. Hurricane Agnes
    Temp here is down to 39 and if I stare long enough, I am making out some flakes starting to mix in with the drizzle.

    Have been getting very light rain/drizzle the past half hour or so here in NW Philly. High IMBY was 44 today and it's currently down to 42 with the dews now moved from the mid-20s to the upper-20s. You can kindof see where a rain/snow line is...

    Looking at overnight radar, I may have had some light returns overnight although temps remained above freezing through the night. Currently getting some light flakeage with a temp of 34.

    Currently sitting at 50 here with vis. barely 1/10th of a mile. Was glad that Mt. Holly finally lofted something for this fog. Am up to 0.32" rain for the past 2 days so far (0.19" yesterday and 0.13" today).
  14. Hurricane Agnes
    Ended up with 1.31" rain Monday and 0.20" rain on Tuesday for 1.51" for the 2-day event. Had a high of 57 yesterday and am back down to a wintery 33 at the moment with some flurries.

    Why not just start an OP thread?

    Seems my accumulated snow started after 4 am this morning depositing 0.3", but with the temps above freezing the whole time (33 - 34). Currently finishing up the last band and it's 33 with light snow.
  17. Hurricane Agnes
    Bottomed out at 22 this morning, coldest since November 13th here. It will be interesting to see what happens next week with the rain and CFP timing.
  18. Hurricane Agnes
    This was like a slow-moving light snow squall and didn't give me as much as what I got a couple days ago. Ended up with more of a dusting... barely hitting 0.1" (as it was apparently doing some melting on contact). Currently overcast and 35.
  19. Hurricane Agnes
    I watched this coming in on the radar and have a coating of snow starting to build up from some big flakes on the cars and grassy surfaces. Temp is 34.
  20. Hurricane Agnes
    Ended up with another coating of 0.25" with the wrap-around for a total of 0.50" wet slushy stuff. The temp stayed above freezing here the entire event.
  21. Hurricane Agnes
    Looks like I made it under one of the pivoting bands and I now have some light snow (large flakes) and a renewed partial coating on the cold surfaces (mainly cars and grass). Current temp is 34.
  22. Hurricane Agnes
    There is stuff pivoting around but it will probably mostly stay over Jersey (although there are some bands by you).
  23. Hurricane Agnes
    Just popped out to get a package that was delivered and the flakes are flying - basically pancake flurries. Temp still at 36.
  24. Hurricane Agnes
    The precip had pretty much ended here although something is looping around. I did see where the WWA was dropped here in Philly too. Currently overcast and 36.

    I think the problem is figuring out the meso scale probabilities where they overdo the convection that could draw in and self-generate cold air that would up the chances for a switch to all-frozen. What often kills that scenario is warm air that filters in well above the surface due to the (relatively) "warmer" ocean temps and unless there's a big arctic high to the north, it just can't get the cold air down through the whole column.
