Hurricane Agnes

Now have a dusting on cars, ground, and other colder surfaces. Light snow showers continue... I may end up in a donut hole between 2 heavier blobs.

It was like a downsloping warming and as the front hit with the winds, the temp has been dropping. Temp now down to 30 w/dp 24. Edit - now down to 29 and continuing to fall.

Getting a snow shower and flakes are sticking to cold surfaces (cars). Temp is now rapidly dropping and is down to 31 and falling, with dp 25.

Front is here and now getting a few flakes but also the winds. Temp has increased up to 35 ahead of it.

Currently virga and not a solid cloud deck yet. Temp 34, dp 23.

Looks to be over you and on my doorstep!

It looks to be a fast mover so will be through rather quickly.

Am guessing that is riding along the arctic front. I was surprised that it was still at or above freezing here but then there are clouds that kept the radiational cooling down. KYW Traffic report already reporting the snow up around I-78 (Justin Drabick). Temp here is 33 with dp 24.

Yeah am now back to overcast with that, with an occasional break as a reminder that the sun is still up. Currently at my high (so far) for the day - 39, with dp 19. That might be the warmest it gets through the first part of the weekend.

That's better than the GFS this winter with those long-range storms that didn't verify. Almost not a cloud in the sky* save for some contrails here and there. (*although looks like there may be a fuzzy deck of very high cirrus that has still allowed a "blue" cast to shine through for a faux blue sky ) Currently 37 and mostly sunny with dp 16.

Phil came through! Mt. Holly had some historic data on him - I dropped down to 25 as a low this morning and it's currently partly sunny and 27 with dp 16.

Well all gone - and before it hit 32. And it is currently 32 here with dp 24 and the clouds have returned! <Jim Nabors voice> Surprise surprise surprise.

And LOL -

As I had somewhat expected (but wasn't definitive about), I apparently didn't even have to wait to go above freezing... the snow on the east side of my car's windshield has already started to disappear, and fairly quickly at that (about 1/3rd gone)!

Sun out, clearing rapidly, and now partly cloudy. Temp is up to 30 with dp 24. As soon as the temp goes above freezing, whatever is out there will go poof.

PHL finally reported measurable - 0.3".

Went out with the ruler and got 0.2" - and was actually examining what fell and it looked like quite a bit of small graupel mixed in because the surface coating had piles of tiny foam-bead-looking stuff mixed in that was definitely not sleet (was softer). Am currently at my low of 29 (so far) this morning and it's overcast and somewhat misty, with dp 24.

That's all you'll have absent the squirrel snow pile. I suppose some of it could be scraped and gathered into one place to make a mound.

Car topper 1/4" here. Not much on the grass but just some of the coldest surfaces. Currently SN-- and 30 with dp 24. Below was when some of the heavier stuff came through...

Getting more flakes flying but not sticking because the ground and other surfaces are wet and too warm. Temp is 37 with dp 31.

Flakes had been briefly flying here when I got the mail so get to add a "trace" to the tally. Otherwise picked up 0.04" of rain earlier this morning and had a low of 34. Currently drizzling and 36 with dp 31.

Well after being overcast all day, the sun finally came out about 10 minutes ago. Low this morning was 37 and am currently at my high of 52 with dp 42. 18z NAM showing no accumulation mood flakes for Feb 1...

I had seen a -25 current temp for International Falls, MN early this morning and their HWO is calling for possible Wind Chill Advisories/Warnings every day through to next Saturday. They even have one of these on their 7-day forecast page - Don't recall ever seeing that one here. Had a 33 low this morning and it's currently overcast and 49 with dp 36.

Good discussion about this - https://www.severe-weather.eu/global-weather/winter-season-coldest-air-january-2023-deep-freeze-snow-canada-united-states-mk/ Ralph-style anomaly map for next week's (probably transient) cold intrusion (from above linked discussion) - This seems to be what is triggering suppression and the slider storms. What is shocking is that only about 5% of the Great Lakes have ice coverage meaning any arctic intrusion is going to generate another massive lake-effect snow event. But even with that, the handwriting on the wall with the MJO - And the NAO -
