Hurricane Agnes Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 Sun out. Final rain total was 0.90" for today (2-day 1.91"). Got a light dusting on grassy surfaces, house roofs, and car tops - much of it disintegrating now. Currently partly sunny and temp is 26 with dp down to 20. I know I'll lose about 10 more degrees off of that by tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold chasing precip rarely works out, so I’m glad there’s white on the ground just before Christmas. 24F/DP 19F Expand I always count on half what they predict. I have a small layer on the grass/rooftop/car top but at least it's windy and cold the next few days so that's good... 24F...you can just hear the cold air rolling in. Forecast low tonight 7F. w/winds. Nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Not me. The snow was coming just after temp drops and ended when it was 29 here. Never was going to be an issue on the roads. Flash freeze WAY overblown, as usual 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure why the local stations were pumping it up as a big issue. Mt Holly didn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Reilly Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Media 24 Sunny dewpoint 18 I did see a dead tree fall through wires causing a big blue power flash then fall onto a driving car below shattering the windshield on Baltimore Pike and Ridley Creek Road.

It will only be a problem at intersections where the snow melted and created a puddle then froze. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda hard for a short period of snow to stick to roads at that temp and soaking wet from rain Expand We had 60s the day before storms and it stuck the next day. I agree it's tough but it didn't even try to stick, back roads, parking lots. It was coming done hard also. I was expecting a little something...not right way but something.

KamuSnow Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 22F here, DP 8. The snow frosting dried up or melted, but this cold means business. Lost a tree around noon that we knew was on the way out, had planned on cutting off one large mostly dead branch, but now the whole tree is down. It was about 7 feet from the NW corner of the barn, but it fell due north, thankfully. I mean thank goodness! It did empty the rainwater out of the green wagon, lol. Gives me something to do in my spare time, haha. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or clearer skies? Was thinking it could be a decent sunrise, might shoot to the shore to take some pics, with the well-groomed swell and strong offshore winds it should look nice.

Gives me something to do in my spare time, haha. Expand Yikes! I know there are a bunch of dead and half-dead trees in the woods near my house (you could tell during the summer when their tops were leafless and some of the branches had leaves and others didn't). I wouldn't be surprised if any of those snapped (although as long as they fall within the woods line, then the impact is minimal to none). Currently partly sunny with changeable skies, breezy, and now down to 21 with dp 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 We ended up with 1.27" of liquid equivalent and 0.5" of snow.
