You'll need to set your snow lamp on bright initially to see those small flakes, lol.

Yeah, not exactly a bullish start, eh?!

31F/DP 12. Could see the moon little earlier this evening but it's since disappeared behind the clouds. Radar filling in overhead. Guess it's time to go squint at the porch light.

No, lol, but it does get better. Still hopeful for some moderate rates at some point. The dew point is still rising, up to 21 now (Temp. @ 28F).

[blackhound]

Flurries in Glen Mills. 31F.

[bluehens]

Legit light snow in northern DE. Coating everything including untreated roads. Virga returns were limited. Did not think it would start this early. 

I think SEPA sees a nice positive bust on totals for this one

Nice.  Just realized that Mt Holly upped us to 3-4.  I can see that considering some of the quick 1 inch numbers from central PA.  

[Hurricane Agnes]

Interesting but after a low of 20 this morning, the temp has been generally hanging around freezing +/- 1 once it hit the high.  Currently 32 (dp has been hanging around 15 much of the day) where the high was 33 ~3 pm.  Not "seeing" any flakage as the line is literally just starting to move overhead, but standing outside you can kind of feel something hitting your face.... like snizzle.

Yeah, that map isn't correct.

[bluehens]

Short range models keep upping the ante for this to come further north. 

[Birds~69]

DP up to 14F from 12F...no flakage yet.

[Hurricane Agnes]

Looks like a blob of something that might make it to the ground is incoming... When I animated it, it was moving due east.

 

[Newman]

Light pixie dust snow has begun here.

[Birdbean]

Very light snow, with dusting on the ground here In northern Lanc. Co.

[JoeSeNJ]

Nothing here in Mays Landing. Virga

[JTA66]

Starting to see the occasional tiny flake or two. (Note to self: Clean the windows.)

Same here but there are some darker echoes to my W so that should do it. If not, I'm screwed.

[hurricane1091]

Snow in GLOCO
