Hurricane Agnes

I actually bottomed out a degree lower this morning than yesterday morning with a low of 25. But in this case, it was due to radiational cooling when the winds went calm overnight vs yesterday when there was apparently all kinds of CAA going on with the winds whipping most of the night. It's currently mostly sunny and 36 with dp 19.

My 41 high for today came at midnight, so definitely winter doing its last hurrah.. Currently 34 with dp 14.

Well made it up to 54 yesterday after a low of 40 and 0.02" of rain but after the front came through overnight, it's a whole different story this morning. The bottom fell out and I am currently partly sunny and finally ticked up to 27 from a low of 26 with dp 7 (where it had gone as low as 5). One of my late-blooming lilacs ("Miss Kim") had sprouted some leaves all up and down the branches and am hoping that those leaves survive despite the temp being under the "hard freeze" temp of 28. That lilac is 25 years old so it has seen it all, but still.

Well the overcast hung on all morning and the sun struggled mightily but has now finally come out, with the cloud deck clearing. Bottomed out at 34 and am currently at 51 with a dp that has finally trudged back into the 20s at 23, after going as low as 5 sometime just after midnight, and slowly recovering the rest of the morning.

It's like what I always would hear midwesterners talk about - the endless "cloudy gray winters".

I went to the Flower Show this past Saturday and never saw it here in Philly! Today is the first time it is fully out since last week!

My high yesterday ended up being 39 after most of the precip ended after 2:30 pm (with nothing really measurable than maybe the 0.1" brief dusting). The low was 33 this morning and it's currently not much warmer at 35 with dp 22. The frontal passage definitely hit on the dps. The winds have been fierce as well. When I had to step out front yesterday to grab a delivery that had just been dropped off, I had to struggle with the door just to get out there.

I have continued with the pixie dust and pity flakes the past hour or so and whatever managed to briefly "dust" the car is long gone. Meanwhile the sun keeps trying to shine through the cloud deck and the temp is up to 37 with dp 28.

Getting some almost pancake-sized flakes at near a SN rate and the persistence has chilled the normally-colder surfaces, so there is some stickage on light-colored cars and on the grass, but it's struggling. Currently 33 with dp 31.

Have pixie dust flakes here with nothing sticking yet but it has taken the temp down a bit. Currently 34 with dp 31.

Yeah and unless there is some arctic outbreak that oozes down that week, the ssts certainly won't help (except maybe helping it bomb out).

And the flakes have moved in. SN- and also breezy.

You mean the next GFS "10-day snowzapalooza"?

The sun has been trying to come out here with a fast flow of various types of clouds out of the NW. But I know I'm between bands of "something" that is incoming. Currently mostly cloudy with breaks in the cloud deck, and 35 with dp 29.

I know.... (was just adding the update for the thread) As an obs, ended up with the 44 as a high and 0.19" of rain yesterday. This morning it's currently damp and 35 with dp 29.

Last tweet with the summary graphic caps it at 12" up north at the higher elevations -

Made it up to 45 as a high yesterday and after a 37 low, am at my high for the day so far, of 44, with dp 42. Have gotten 0.05" of precipitation through the day and it's currently misty and still 44.

The 6zs mix it up a bit (GFS wetter and NAM drier)...

Across the 0zs, they all throw some down into the metro area -

12z GFS (comparison with previous and then another day out)...

I think Ray worked a deal with the models to throw some lollipops at his parents' house in Ewing.

Now getting all light rain here with temp up to 36 and dp 35. Have 0.09" for the day so far at post time (0.39" for the 2-day event).

6z EC to go with the earlier maps. All of the guidance is showing the effect of that bombing nor'easter in downstate & eastern NY state.

Now getting all flakes. Initially there was about a 0.1" slushy wet dusting on the cars but there is continual melting going on. Currently wet SN- and 35 with dp 34.

Am near and just under a blob and getting a rain/snow mix. Temp is 34 with dp 34.
