    Spotter in Reading reported 1". So far no stickage here with SN-, temp 34, and dp 31. Walks and streets are wet.

    I ended up hitting 40 for a high yesterday with on and off flakes that didn't stick. Bottomed out at 30 this morning and currently have more flakes with a temp of 32 and dp 26.

    My sis in Upper Darby texted that she is getting some down there. I see it on radar although haven't seen any reach the ground here yet (unless I missed an earlier round). Made it up to 44 yesterday and so far bottomed out at 36 this morning. Currently overcast and 37 with dp 30.

    I think there are at least 4 over-60s posting regularly here so join the club! At this point due to the persistent temp rises in the oceans, the past analog years are going to be more and more "out of date" to use for predicting the current/future environment. If anything, you'd probably do better to shift the seasons by a couple months where "winter" is fall-like and "spring" is winter-like (we have been walloped in March for example - ocean temps slowly coming off mins and plenty of moisture). Since you mention 1993, so far to date, the last time KPHL went below 0F was in 1994. We had a dusting of snow down here on 11/28. As some catch-up OBS, Sun/Mon. highs were both 51 with a Monday low of 37, and a low this morning of 33. It's currently a partly sunny 39 through a deck of cirrus, with a dp of 34.

    Bottomed out at 48 this morning, with the temps pretty much staying in that range overnight. Measurable rain started around midnight and have 0.75" in the bucket as the rain has tapered off. It's currently overcast and misty with temp 51 and dp 51.

    Well the critters supposedly become lethargic when the temps go below 60... But if they have a nest underground or in an attic or wall, then they are... well... busy as bees! Watching the incoming precip... Will probably take time to get here though. Fog is denser here now, less than 100 yards and closing in, and that is with some occasional breezes. Temp still hanging at 49 with dp 49.
  7. Hurricane Agnes
    Socked in here now. Vis. < 1/10th of a mile. Temp is 49 with dp 48.
  8. Hurricane Agnes
    Fog had finally lifted later this morning and the sun popped out by noon. Temp is up to 57 with some high clouds rolling in now and dp 53.

    Many of them manage to nest inside structures (homes, buildings, etc). Possibly due to this (MJO in phase 3 w/blue GFS and green GEFS progs) -

    The last day of November started with a low of 26 and finished with a high of 51. Made up some of the rain deficit from October with 4.33" for the month of November. Yesterday didn't get as warm as I expected, only reaching a high of 46 after a low of 32, with 0.46" of rain. This morning the fog/low stratus is thick, with vis. < 1/4 mile where I am (although the city was left out of the dense fog advisory). Temp is 45 with dp 45.

    Well I bottomed out at 24 for a low this morning and only made it up to 37 for a high. Since a breeze kept up overnight, it probably didn't make for good radiational cooling. The arctic air did send my dews down as low as 14 earlier but the dp has ticked up and I'm currently 32 with dp 18.
  12. Hurricane Agnes
    I think some of the pink passed over your area. That arctic air means business. Currently 36 but the dewpoint is down to 17 and has been continuing to slowly fall. The humidifier is starting to struggle.
  13. Hurricane Agnes
    Well that round is done and sun is back out. Got a trace/dusting (0.1") of what appeared to be rimed flakes and possibly graupel. Temp is 31 with dp 28.
  14. Hurricane Agnes
    Getting a flizzard. So far a car/roof/grass-topper. The walks are still relatively warm so it's melting on them. Temp down to 31 and pancakes are starting to mix in.
  15. Hurricane Agnes
    And flakes were flying while the sun was out! Getting SN- now.
  16. Hurricane Agnes
    Looks like a band of some sort headed this way! I bottomed out at 32 and it's currently overcast and 34.
  17. Hurricane Agnes
    Unless you are Jake Elliott, David Akers, or Tom Dempsey! There is an arctic air mass coming in by tomorrow. When there is a SSWE event, you do get some PV lobes that can sometimes ooze down. But of late, it has been the needle thread to get conditions between cold/dry/suppressed and warm/wet/overrunning. I do think some of the problems now with forecasting is that models are not tweaked to deal with the warming and the odd effects that can come out of that in terms of extremes (cold, warm, wind). Temp here has eased up to 43 with dp 40.
  18. Hurricane Agnes
    Finished up with a surprising 1.31" yesterday. The last 2 events have at least made up some of the deficit from October and much of this month. It's currently overcast but clearing, sun trying to peak out behind the clouds and 37, with dp 37.
  19. Hurricane Agnes
    Wow. I eventually hit 50 just before 8 pm and I think a cold front is coming through now. Temp dropped back down to 44 and I still have light - moderate rain with 1.07" in the bucket and dp 44.
  20. Hurricane Agnes
    Stressful one! Didn't expect this heavier rain although the forecasts changed for the low to crawl closer to the coast as it moved up. They did play through that... Now have 0.86" in the bucket IMBY.

    That Feb. 2021 storm happened with an initial La Nina transitioning to ENSO neutral. Same happened in 2018. Right now, we are in a strong El Nino (which was the case in late 2015, and then that transitioned as it moved into 2016). Seems that when the ENSOs are "weak" or in transition, that opens the opportunities for phasing and whatnot.
  22. Hurricane Agnes
    Think I spoke to soon earlier. Temp has been steadily rising since my last post, even with the rain, and my "high" so far today is now 49 (as of post time), which is the current temp. Had a heavier band come through and now have 0.75" in the bucket. Currently moderate rain with dp 48.
  23. Hurricane Agnes
    Got up to 47 for a high just before 1 pm. Now getting some drizzle and light rain and so far have picked up 0.01". Temp is 44 with dp up some more at 42.
  24. Hurricane Agnes
    I dug up the Obs thread for that storm - That was probably the most drama-inducing Miller B this forum has had since I started posting here (16 years ago now)! I had to dig through that thread but eventually found I finished up with 10.34" from that after experiencing every p-type possible including ZR, various IP, and snow over the 4-days it hung around. In the middle of it was 14 hours of a sleet fest. In any case, I ended up with a high of 40 yesterday and bottomed out at 29 this morning. It's currently overcast and 43 with dp rising quite a bit from the low 20s earlier and now at 35.

    That week of December sometime between Dec. 5 - 10) seems to almost always have some sort of precip event annually, most often wintry, with a few times when it was just rain, and some rare instances of nothing. My Wed. high ended up at 54, with the Thurs./Fri. splits 51/40 & 51/32. Thanksgiving day was notable due to the high overhead resulting in a perfectly blue sky for the parade. This morning was "brutal" in terms of my first "hard freeze" (temp at or below 28F), bottoming out at 26. Anything marginally tender that thought it was still gonna stay green (or crawling) and alive (and not in a protected location), should be toast. It's currently 33 with dp 22. And as a sidenote - I initially thought that it was maybe a "temporary" thing for the holiday but finally did a little search and confirmed that KYW has now done a complete circle and will be using Accuweather again for their weather reports from now on. The past couple days, I was like "Why is this Accuweather guy on?". Well now I know! As another sidenote - the USDA has officially moved all of metro Philly and rim areas a few miles out from the border, into USDA Hardiness Zone 7b. Was previously 7a (where Delco had the 7b at the last update back in 2012 and that remains). So for the gardeners here (and you know who you are ), here is the link to the new map (can zoom by zipcode) - https://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/
