Still 45F here, but the cold air means business - looking at obs in PA, most of the state is well into the 30's already. Wind is cranking here too.

Pretty sure I'm seeing hallucination flakes mixing in as I stare intensely. Heavier precip would turn it over...even if it was only for a short period.

KamuSnow Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Snow here as well, before midnight mostly rain with a few flakes mixed in, confirmed by the windshield splat test. Then over the last 20 minutes, rain snow mix would change over to mostly snow for a minute, then back to the mix. Woohoo and wow. Snow on May 9th! 37F here currently and pretty much ended, but well worth being up for. That's 7 months in a row now with snow, in the air at least. Congrats to every one who got to see it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling for 35 here for the low which would be fine, no frost with the wind and all. Eta - moon is out here now with partly cloudy skies. Not quite full but almost. Good for a January style nightwalk, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 Ended up with a high of 58 yesterday with 0.56" of rain before midnight and an additional 0.01" just after midnight as the line was clearing out. The heaviest band came through just after 9 pm last night with ~0.5"/hr rates. And just after 11 pm, the temp dropped about 7 degrees, from 45 to 38. Currently just barely 33 (32.5) and windy... and had that wind not been there, the temps probably would have hit hard freeze territory in the mid-20s. As a note, I remember at least one time awhile ago, when we had a hard freeze in the NW parts of the city and surrounding 'burbs in mid-May. I recall taking a trip to the old Hechinger's hardware chain in Jenkintown (originally a Wanamakers and now a Raymour and Flannagan & Trader Joe's), where they had all kinds of tender vegetable plants and herbs and other plants that were left out that night of the freeze, and every single one was completely dead. After that, many nurseries in the area put up signs for years to indicate that they would not be offering tender annuals until "after May 21st" (or similar later May date). They gradually lifted that restriction although I think there was a more recent late cold snap too and the notices went back up again... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
