Hurricane Agnes

Made it up to 48 yesterday after a low of 24. Currently 29 and not seeing any fog around here yet... although most of the snow cover is pretty much gone outside of shaded patches, and with the higher dps/humidity, whatever moisture is airborne is probably freezing on contact.

I think I may have finally bottomed out at 10 with the fresh snow cover and calm winds. Currently 12 and partly cloudy.

And Punxsutawney Phil says - Winter of azzzz....

Looks like it's all done here and will call it 1". Cloud deck is still there but starting to break up a bit. Temp is 17 and dp crept up to 8.

Just came back in - this powdery stuff is so very sweep-able. Got just under 1" on the board so far so calling it 0.9". But it is still coming down so I may round it up to 1" later on tonight, especially since it is probably starting to compact. It's almost twice as much as I got from the squall but has been going on since at least 9 am, so like 8 hours now to get there. lol At least the winds are light so it's not blowing around. Temp is 17 with dp 6.

The pixie dust is back but have a solid 1/2" that is heading for 3/4". Ground has been so cold that it has even started to coat some of the previously treated asphalt and cement walks. Currently 17 with very light snow.

The flake size has actually increased here and am having something on the order of SN- to SN rates now. Have about 1/4" so far due to the earlier fine flakes but if whatever is falling now continues at this rate a bit longer, it might really start accumulating. Temp is up to 16 with dp of 3.

This stuff is so fine and powdery but it has given me about a 0.1" coating so far (on the car, untreated pavement, and large grassy areas). Temp is 13 with dp 0. Has some interesting northern extent of coverage -

I had already started singing the jingle before I clicked the video!

Getting some fine powder coming down with temp at 13 and dp at -1. Of course it is dusting everything. Ended up bottoming out at 8 this morning, 5 degrees warmer than yesterday morning.

Bottomed out at 3 (2.8) this morning. Last time I had that low of a temp was last January (1/7/18). Then 5 days later on 1/12/18, it hit 64. lol

Currently 3 and saw KPHL had a record low for 1/30/19 of 7 (previous record was 8). Will probably have a record low max today too (record for the date is 21)!

3F (3.2) here in NW Philly w/dp -10. Just read that KPHL had a record low yesterday of 7 (previous record for the date was 8).

Currently holding around 21 here and very windy. Squall line should be on RedSky's doorstep!

Nahhh... That sucker means business. You are gonna get some of that! Just about done here except for some flurries and blowing snow. Sun trying to peep out. Temp is down to 22 and rapidly falling. Going with 0.5" since it is starting to blow around now.

The main precip portion is past me now but expect that you mean the NW winds will come a-howling! I also heard the alert from Mt. Holly expanding the Warning further east now.

At ~ 0.5" (more than what I got yesterday) and the winds have subsided a bit. Currently SN. Temp down to 29 and falling.

White out. Vis < 1/8 mile. Temp down to 31.

Light snow has started here. Temp down to 32 but getting windy. Edit now SN+.

HAZARD...Whiteout conditions. Zero visibility in snow and blowing snow. Wind gusts greater than 30 mph. SOURCE...Radar indicated. IMPACT...Dangerous life-threatening travel. This will impact portions of Interstate 76, 476, 676, 78, 95, 295 and U.S. routes 22 and 30 and state routes 422, 700 Locations impacted include... Philadelphia, Allentown, Trenton, Camden, Wilmington, Newark, Easton, West Chester, Somerville, Gloucester City, Bethlehem, Bensalem, Bridgewater, Ewing, Norristown, Chester, Deptford, Pottstown, West Deptford and Glassboro. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Reduce your speed and turn on headlights! During snow squalls, the visibility may suddenly drop to near zero in whiteout conditions. There is no safe place on a highway when a snow squall hits. Visibility and traction are immediately lost in whiteout conditions, making it difficult or impossible to slow down and avoid stopped vehicles. Delay travel or safely exit the highway before the snow squall arrives. Wet roadways will quickly freeze after passage of the snow squall. Black ice will cause untreated roads, bridges and overpasses to become slick and dangerous. Slow down and be prepared for sudden loss of traction.

Temp crept up to 33 here but very overcast. You can feel it coming.

Ha! Warning coming through on my radio.

Only other issue is whether what is coming through meets the criteria (was trying to quickly look that up - had read about it awhile ago).

Wasn't sure what the CWA cutoff is regarding where Reading falls but CCX was on the original list for roll-out of it last January. Don't know what their phase-in schedule is for the rest of the stations but I thought this year was supposedly for all... Edit - Eskimo Joe confirmed my thoughts!

I've had stormy-looking clouds rolling in here for the past 15 minutes although it's still not that close to being here (but is apparently moving pretty quickly now). Temp just hit freezing so it is warming it up in advance!

Starting to show up more now -
