Hurricane Agnes replied to The Iceman's topic in Philadelphia Region
Bottomed out at my current 13 (dp 7) as a low for the day so far, the coldest since a temp of 12 recorded IMBY back on Feb. 4, 2023. Looks like my anemometer froze over at some point during the storm yesterday. The 6z 12k vs 3k NAMs have interesting variations of a solution for Thurs - Fri. -

18z GFS seems a bit out to lunch with the near OTS system but still showing precip (although maybe it's hinting at a fropa). I know it's not really good at mid-short term. -

They have a mobile version but for "Windows phone" only (I don't even know if M$ makes a phone anymore although I think they still have the Surface tablet). http://www.grlevelx.com/mrlevel3/ RadarScope is probably the best bet for mobile (also recommended by users of the GRLevelX products). -

Looks like I finished up with 2.35" of snow/sleet (including the initial measurement and the remaining snow/sleet mix before the rain set in). At least this go-around, the sleet was never prominent - it was mostly snow and then ZR. My "high" ended up being 28. Currently 26 with dp 22. -

Still have ZR with a temp of 27 and dp of 26. The back edge seems to be near but don't want to touch the blanket of snow on the car. Makes me want to do like those old grandmas in South Philly would do - boil a pot of water, open the door and dump it out on the front stoop, and then come back inside and call it a day. -

Going to try to avoid removing any of the snow from the car until this thing is done due to the ZR that will inevitably encase everything (as noted from folks above). Might be time for a Currently 27 with moderate ZR and dp 26. -

Looks like D.C. metro cashed in with 4 - 5" or more snow. Federal offices are "closed" (i.e., the buildings are as most down there have a WAH policy for inclement weather). Currently oscillating between ZR and ip and between 26 & 27 for the temp, with dp 26. -

And the light ZR has moved in. Temp is 26 with dp 24 and rain. Didn't get much accumulation before the switchover after the last measurement. Looks like PHL ASOS reporting 3.3". -

Did a what-the-heck measure on the board and have 1/2" of very fine powder. Currently 25 with light snow and fog, and dp 24. The winds have dropped off considerably and are light to calm. -

Have been getting light flurries with some stickage but generally it has blown around, so not yet accumulating. Temp has dropped and it's down to 26 (high ended up being 28 today), and dp has risen up to 18 so it's moistening up a bit. -

It's actually an app that was purchased - GR2Analyst - http://grlevelx.com/gr2analyst_2/ You can pull Level 2 data from a whole list of airports and it lets you save each updated image. I've been generally saving the "radar only" but the full window would look like the below - -

That's what it was although I could certainly feel it too. I have one of those "Polar Shield" cover things that I put across my windshield and it's black so could see individual flakes actually land on it and not melt right away! ETA looks like this - -

Flakes are flying here, albeit flurries. But the radar isn't even impressive or has anything really showing over me but the fine flakes are out there and it smells/feels like snow. Currently 28 with dp 10. -

Bottomed out at 24 this morning with a dp as low as 5 but have recovered. Am currently overcast and 28 with dp 10. As always, a new HRRR is running but the last hour's HRRR has bullseyed the I-95 corridor. -

WWA up for the CWA - KYW traffic report earlier this morning had noted several times that it had been snowing down in Baltimore and that was causing some road issues there. Currently 24 here in NW Philly with dp a desert-like 6.

Harbaugh is talking to the Chargers so.... Am now down to 27 with dp 10. Still breezy though so don't know how that will translate in terms of radiational cooling potential.
