Hurricane Agnes

That's what it was although I could certainly feel it too. I have one of those "Polar Shield" cover things that I put across my windshield and it's black so could see individual flakes actually land on it and not melt right away! ETA looks like this -

Yup. I wasn't expecting anything to fire up until maybe between 3 - 5 pm, but here we are!

Flakes are flying here, albeit flurries. But the radar isn't even impressive or has anything really showing over me but the fine flakes are out there and it smells/feels like snow. Currently 28 with dp 10.

Because *I* have some flakes flying down here right now! Just came in from putting a cover over my windshield. (am about to post in the other thread)

Bottomed out at 24 this morning with a dp as low as 5 but have recovered. Am currently overcast and 28 with dp 10. As always, a new HRRR is running but the last hour's HRRR has bullseyed the I-95 corridor.

I went on and made an OBS thread here -

WWA up for the CWA - KYW traffic report earlier this morning had noted several times that it had been snowing down in Baltimore and that was causing some road issues there. Currently 24 here in NW Philly with dp a desert-like 6.

Harbaugh is talking to the Chargers so.... Am now down to 27 with dp 10. Still breezy though so don't know how that will translate in terms of radiational cooling potential.

That arctic front meant business! My high for the day was 42 but as expected, the dp tanked into the single digits and got as low as 7 (so far) today. Currently a breezy 32 with dp that is bopping between 8 & 9.

Getting a bit of a temp rebound and am back up to 36. Dp as dropped back down and is at 26. Currently overcast and breezy.

Temp down to 35 and dp 29. No flakes but overcast now (despite the radar appearance). No stickage.

Just went from barely visible fine flakes to a mini-flizzard with some bigger flakes. Temp down to 36, dp 30.

Getting warned here now. So far have some lazy flurries out there. Temp down to 37 with dp rising and now 29.

Now have some fine flakes blowing around out there (despite the green). Temp is down to 39 with dp 28 and with some gusts from the North (like a gust front).

Getting breezy here and temp is dropping (down to 41 with dp 28) so the cold air is filtering in.

Getting an alert here now (for Montco to my NW). See the dark clouds to north.

It's torching (in a relative sense) where I am with temp now 42 (am guessing as downsloping ahead of a front).

Am thinking RedSky is under this and is either outside naked dancing around it or is napping.

Junk and stuff incoming for some! ETA to note that temp here in NW Philly IMBY is 41 with dp 28 so not sure what would happen if that hung together and moved this way.

State College has a Snow Squall Warning up for the area E of town/airport - Currently have changeable skies (sun has popped out recently) and 36 with dp 26.

ETA - The map is weird but I think that it is 2" area-wide with the 3" lollipops. There are parts of NW DC Metro, e.g., Montgomery County, MD, and NW Philly (like where I am), as well as Montgomery County, PA, that have rolling hills with elevations of 300 ft - 400 ft. Ever since I was a kid (and even today), I was always fascinated on car trips to Willow Grove traveling north along Easton Rd. - especially going down the hill from Edge Hill Rd to Susquehanna Rd where the Roslyn train station is (which has an at-grade RR crossing, one of the few in the area). Similarly, I had many work trips down to D.C. metro and specifically the Rockville/Bethesda/Gaithersburg area, where the hills abound (as well as the propensity for severe storms, not unlike Willow Grove). So far I may have bottomed out at 29 this morning (but will see what happens in the next hour or so) and am currently at 30 with dp 23. Will be on the lookout for flizzards and whatnot.

I just saw where the Bills/Steelers game was moved to Monday at 4:30 pm due to an incoming blizzard. (*ducks as Birds yells WIMPS!!!!!! and hurls stuff* )

Well it did keep some shovelable for Tues/Wed.

Just when I though things were done earlier this morning when the sun came out, it clouded over again and I got an additional 0.06" of rain from a band that came through the past couple hours. That brings the total to 0.59" for the day (0.96" 2-day total). My high ended up being 58 just after 6 this morning and it's down to 48 and clearing, with some sun, and dp 40.
