Hurricane Agnes Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Had to run some pre-storm errands and got back about 30 minutes ago and it started flurrying as soon as I got out the car. Still light flurries with temp 34 and dp has crept up to 17.4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBasile Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Puking huge flakes. Accumulating quickly on grass and cars, not so much on the pavement, though. Temp is plummeting. Down to 32.2F now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhound Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Steady snow continuing. Sometimes light. Sometimes moderate. Sticking to cars and shady spots in the parking lot. West Chester. 33F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEwx Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Just under 1" of snow in Newark DE. That was quick. Roads partially covered in my protected area. 32.0 / 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Snow knocking on the doorstep but still nada in Trenton. Radar looks great for Wave 1 and I honestly did not expect it to look that good. Leaning towards over performer right now on round 1 even though it may end up as mostly sleet. Should provide a nice base for our snow later.

KamuSnow Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Pretty much heavy snow here for about the last 15 minutes - woohoo! Awesome! Temp. has dropped to 29.5F. Things are whitening up, snow blowing sideways and all. About 3/4" accumulation so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluehens Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Sidewalks, parking lots and some side streets giving up downtown in Wilmington. New meso discussion out talks about 1"/hr rates for most of us over the next few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Iceman Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 holy crap did not expect to see this today AT ALL Quote Areas affected...Northern Maryland into southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation Valid 201619Z - 202015Z SUMMARY...Areas of moderate to heavy snow will develop across the discussion area, with rates will approach 1 inch per hour. Freezing rain/sleet should also continue along the southern extent of the discussion area. DISCUSSION...Lift associated with a mid-level impulse centered over West Virginia has aided in areas of moderate to heavy snow over the past hour or so - especially along western and southern portions of the discussion area. This area of precipitation should continue to develop northeastward across the remainder of the region and persist through at least 20Z. Areas of dry low-level air were noted downstream of this precip shield (into southeastern Pennsylvania), although rapid moistening of the boundary layer and cooling surface temperatures (just below freezing) will encourage higher precipitation rates in that area shortly. Rates approaching 1 inch per hour are possible through mid-afternoon. Farther southeast along an axis from central Maryland into New Jersey, slightly warmer low-level thermodynamic profiles are supporting a mixing of rain, freezing rain, and sleet. This mixed precipitation should continue through 20Z and possibly beyond as a coastal low continues to organize southeast of the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Love to see those mesoscale discussions! Could hear the wind starting to make that roaring sound a bit in the trees out back when I took this pic about 15 minutes ago. Closing in in an inch of accumulation so far. 29.6F currently. eta: Note the March sun angle doing it's thing on the blacktop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Now up to SN with dime-sized flakes. Sticking on grassy surfaces, cars, other cold surfaces. Temp is now down to 32F so that stuff is gonna stick pretty good compared to what happened with nor'easter #2 where it took awhile to build up (and stayed above freezing the entire event here). DP jumped to 19 so it is moistening up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBasile Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Tough to keep up with the precip type and rates. Light/mod/heavy snow/sleet. Back and forth. Now it's sleeting pretty well and sticking to pavement. Gonna get messy out there. KDIX CC showing a sleet fest here in SNJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LVblizzard Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Cloudy and 32 in East Stroudsburg. Not really expecting anything from the first wave. Hopefully the cutoff stays north tomorrow so we can at least get 4-5" or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
