Hurricane Agnes Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Currently overcast and still 31 but the dp continues to drop and is down to 24. Will see if that heavier band holds together as it moves west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolHandMike Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Snow picking back up here! Just shoveled all the slop off the driveway so it doesn't freeze into an ice rink overnight. We have about 3" of compacted snow and slush, so I'll leave it to the spotters with proper equipment to determine how much actually fell. Starting to get a little gusty here, too.

Hurricane Agnes Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Here is a recent WPC surface analysis showing that "other" low (circled) that is apparently feeding that incoming band. You can see the main low off the coast of LI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard-on-GFS Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Do you think that band in eastern PA holds together into NJ? Looks like it would drop 1-2”. I’ve not even had a trace in Bordentown, NJ, hoping I don’t get skunked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Wife measured 3" with round 1 - I can see on cams it is snowing moderately there again. I have had a travel day from hell. I am still on the plane now and in flight to Tampa. This is my 2nd flight from PHL today. Flight #1 left at 7am and made it about 150 miles south before the pilot got on and said due to a smell (later found to be hydraulic fluid ) was causing him to return to PHL. We landed back in Philly at 8am. We then did not leave on another plane until 130 pm with another 20 min in the deicing line. I should be arriving in Tampa only 7 hours behind schedule...fun times!

Ack. It's hard to travel in the winter. Supposed to have a low of 37 down in Clearwater tonight but should warm up tomorrow (perhaps to Philly area "warm" in 60s vs Florida "warm") and even warmer the rest of the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolHandMike Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Our usually rock-solid power just flickered hard. Hard enough to reboot my PC (but not the little RasPi next to it).
