The Iceman Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Post your observations for the upcoming storm in this thread. We'll keep the other thread for discussion Currently 27F/ Dew Point at -2. High clouds have begun to roll in already after the morning started out clear. That's a good thing as Ralph pointed out earlier that it could prevent temps from getting too high today. Projected high is 40. Will be interesting to see how close we get to it. Dew points being so low also means we'll probably have some virga before the column saturates but also means temps should fall fast as well when precip begins.

Hurricane Agnes Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Finally made it just over 32F and am getting some melting. Has been mostly cirrus clouds today but now seeing some cirrocumulus. Dews are single digits and low double digits around the area (depending on elevation in these hills) so very arctic, although that sun is still warm. Winds are calm.

JCT777 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 The sun is still out. How am I going to get a foot or more of snow??? ;-) But seriously...had a low this AM of 14 degrees in Spring Mount, PA. Awaiting the arrival of the biggest March snow event since 1993. If things come together right, I could surpass that event's snow total IMBY (14 inches).

bluehens Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 You would never guess snow was 8 or so hours out here in Wilmington. Bright sunshine with just high thin clouds. But it was only 35 degrees at 1:30pm which for March 13th is pretty impressive. Dews are pretty low. If we can just fight off the pingers then I think we are in a good spot....but it will ping for a while here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 36 here down from a high of 37. projected high was 40 so airmass a bit cooler than projected. definitely a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTA66 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Radar has started to blossom over SEPA in the last hour or so. Don't know if that means the storm is a little ahead of schedule or we might pick up a little front end bonus. I remember something like that happened with a storm in 2011 -- we pick up a couple of bonus inches before the real storm got cranking. I know, I know ... radar hallucinations!!
