Hurricane Agnes

KYW's Tim Jimenez has been in Doylestown (including along 202) and noting the streets were all snow-covered with a couple inches that have fallen already.  It's also apparently snowing heavily downtown Philly.

Whoever is in the path of this....good 1"+ stuff.

I'm at the eastern fringe of that but the rates have picked up here with vis < 1/4 mile with snow and fog.

Had to see where the lows were.  Already 993s.

Am closing in on an inch now.  Still 32 with dp 32.

My Upper Darby sis says she's under a heavier band.  Still have SN and probably close to 1/2" here.

So much for it having trouble sticking. Was sleeting pretty hard when i just got up at 0615, flipped to snow and immediately sticking to all surfaces. Think the quick layer of sleet helped that. Mod snow now in NE Philly. Roads look like they may suck, ill find out soon enough lol.

That's exactly what happened!  The temp was already dropping near but still above freezing so surfaces had cooled and that thin sleet layer took it the rest of the way.

Temp now at 32 IMBY with dp 32 and SN & fog.

KaPOW!  Went from white rain/mix to SN, near SN+ here in NW Philly.  Ended up with 0.48" in the bucket (0.53" 2-day total) and the accumulation is building quickly everywhere. Already have 1/4" coating on surfaces warm and cold!  Temp still 33 with dp 32.

Getting white rain here in NW Philly now.  There was enough pingers in the earlier rain to actually "dust" the cars with a layer of sleet.   Temp is still holding at 33 with dp 32.

One of my employees just measured 7” in east stroudsburg, pa.


.

A spotter up that way reported 7".

ETA and a closeby report from East Stroudsburg proper had 6".

My Upper Darby sis texted to say it is transitioning there and they closed the schools (was a delay but they decided to call it a day).  She said they are getting sleet/ZR.

The light rain had restarted here with a couple more hundredths and I can now barely hear the sound of some pingers mixed in.  Now up to 0.47" (0.52" 2-day).

Bucket-tippable precip has ceased here in NW Philly at the moment.  Last reaading was 0.44" (0.49" 2-day total so far).  Am not seeing any flakes or getting any ip yet but the winds have picked up and are pretty persistent.   Temp is 33 with dp 33.

Well at post time, I have 0.05" rain yesterday and 0.41" (total 0.46) this morning so far with light rain continuing but the R/S line getting close.   Temp has fallen to 33.

As a note that KYW has Tim Jimenz on the road who earlier reported a coating up in Quakertown and he has been working his way south and is near Souderton and seeing the snow.

Finally tipped the bucket with 0.01".  Temp is 43 and dp 40 with light rain.

3k NAM still has the higher totals in the city.

0z runs so far are not good for the Philly burbs. 3-6” now compared to the 6-12” solutions from earlier today.

But the 12k NAM verbatim is at (10:1 which won't be happening) or almost (Kuchera) getting to WSW criteria for the city.

0z 12k NAM is still NAMing south.

0z NAM is running.  Guess we are just about at go-time.

Still 46°F here in Reading. Seeing some blobs here and there on the radar though.

It's "junk and stuff".

Have been getting very light rain the past hour or so - enough to wet the walks but not enough to tip the bucket.  Temp is 45 with dp 38.  Had made it up to 49 for a high with a 36 low.   Am concerned with icing over tomorrow night if it drops just below freezing here.

WWA just got extended down to the next tier of counties to including Philly & Delco.

19z NBM (sort of dismisses the globals possibly overdoing it).  An issue here is that we don't have that antecedent cold air and are relying on something to churn into oblivion to manufacture and/or pull cold air down from the north.

Family member said they heard one inch maybe two and it's so warm it will be melted away in a couple hours they have their mind made up thanks to their accu weather/weather bug lol

 

Exactly what my Wydmoor sis said to me about an hour ago when I gave her a warning...   It's 48 here right now with dp 36 so it would be hard to justify a paste job.

Put this in the other thread.  Seems all the models have shifted the low a touch east over the past day or so.
