Hurricane Agnes Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Some of the heavier bands (in relative terms) are starting to move westward from the coast over Jersey- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome! I was wondering if there would be any reports of thundersnow. If so, I thought down along the beaches. Sounds like some strong dynamics have pushed west. Really starting to hear the winds now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Di Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Awesome. No complaints here in mushroom country. Best guess is just had a 35-40mph gust. Rattled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds~69 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Thunder/lightning wouldn't in the least bit surprise me. Howling winds, sideways snow, low clouds, blowing/drifting....you name it. 23.8F and just a guess 2.5 - 3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - I love the site and have had it open during some severe events and know it detects the bigger cloud to ground and cloud to cloud flashes but not the smaller flashes.

Ralph Wiggum Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 My sis in Delco just texted that she heard thundersnow. Something convective is happening down there!Several friends in delco reporting 5-9". Something tells me they are measuring drifts and not doing a melted liquid equivalent formula based on temperature and ratio calculations. Just a hunch.Around 2" here from last le melt. My accuracy with this method isnt 100% accurate. Prefer the snowboard in the middle of the open field outside except it is bare from the wind.

Newman Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I think I have around 2" right now. Pretty much a uniform 2 inches on top of the old snowpack in my yard but my snowboard is practically bare and the deck is too. Bad measuring snowstorm.

Hurricane Agnes Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Snow has lightened a bit and temp is down to 22F with fog. Winds have still been mostly out of the NNW with alot of blowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither you nor I are there so again, it's silly to argue it. She is a weather junkie (although not as much as me to the point of posting on forums) so it's nonsensical to dispute either way.

Bliz299 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 As of 10am have 8.3" on the ground. Made a nice drive around the Cape May area. Visibility from time to time well below 1/4 mile. Had to check on some senior "friends", better know as Wawa employees; they're doin' just fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it keeps moving ENE then am wondering if the band will make it over this far before it pulls away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
