penndotguy Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 You know this will verify it’s not Snow, as saturated as the ground is there will likely be some uprooted trees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief83 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I read it as - Looks like NWS PHL has gone with a high wind warning for Sunday PM and Monday most of the day for western Chester, Montgomery and Bucks on n and w. Eastern zones of the same counties remain in a high wind watch. Based on the afternoon discussion it appears they will evaluate those areas for a possible change later today.

ChasingFlakes Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Of course it rains for the Flyer's stadium series game in February, must be miserable sitting for two and a half hours in 40 degree rain. I guess we'll have to see how iceman says it went. Would have been sweet if it were snow. Edit: actually I'm jealous, that was an awesome game.

Hurricane Agnes Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I think most of the rain is pretty much done and it's the lull before the winds. Ended up with 0.44" today and 0.04" yesterday, for a 2-day total just under 1/2" (0.48"). ETA - it was progged to get "warm" today (50s & higher) but it is still 42 here.
