Hurricane Agnes Posted Monday at 03:34 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:34 PM Just came back in and measured 1" on the board. Have SN- of fine stuff with some bigger flakes mixing in every once in awhile. Some of the radar "heavier" returns over me aren't really producing at this point. Temp is 25 and dp has ticked up to 23. 2 minutes ago, Violentweatherfan said: I’ll have to look at the actual super 8 film roll and see if it was ‘77 or ‘76. I know ‘78 had a nice Nor’Easter. That 1977 was just a cold cold winter. That's why '78 was welcomed because we finally had some snow to go with the cold! There was some snow in '79 too although I remember my senior class trip up to the Poconos resulted in 40F and rain that weekend (at the old Tamiment ski resort), so the slopes were literally a sheet of ice with water on top. We ended up inside the Lodge most of time watching TV, playing cards, board games, and pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the winter of late 1974 right after my dad died and my uncle wanted to take me and my sisters to go to Burlholme Park in NE Philly to toboggan - https://myphillypark.org/explore/parks/burholme-park-3/ It was literally in the 50s temp-wise at the time and not a drop of snow anywhere to be seen. He took us there anyway just to see what it looked like... all snowless and bare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted Monday at 03:46 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:46 PM That last band gave us 0.8" of snow in 30 minutes between 10am and 1030am - now up to 2.3" for the day. Still snowing steadily....but it appears the end is near. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Physicsteve Posted Monday at 03:50 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:50 PM Fat flakes falling with this band (radar grabbed about 15 min. ago). Should get me to, maybe over, 1". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you get to at least 3" down there. When I was a kid it always seemed like south and east of Philly - us - did much worse than north and west of Philly (usually due to mixing/changeover), but this could be your chance, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in TWP in the 80s and 90s and always heard "more North and West" on KYW snow forecasts. Looks like we both made it North but not West. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWS discussion said they're sticking with their forecast amounts, but I have my doubts for most of CNJ, especially the northern half towards 78, getting to 1" and for Philly getting to 3", looking at the radar, although it can always fill in more. It is covering all surfaces, which is no surprise at 26F, so paved surfaces are slick already. It is a very pretty snow - light and fluffy consisting of small dendrites. Edit: Well, all of a sudden, the 12Z NAM/RGEM/ICON came out, all upping totals to 1-1.5" (and 2" in spots) for areas N of 276/195 up to 78, i.e., CNJ, plus the 13Z and 14Z HRRR are showing 1"+ for CNJ from 9 am to 2 pm, so maybe I spoke too soon, especially as the radar in eastern PA from Philly to Allentown has blossomed and is heading our way - depends if it holds together or dries up/falls apart. In a bit of a lull now with very light, fine, pixie dust flakes falling, but radar looks nice approaching us from the SW, so should pick up soon. We're up to 0.4" as of 10:50 am (2 hrs) and it's still 26F. And brining works by the way for light snows like this: the street we live on, which was brined, is just wet, but the street that feeds into it is 100% snow covered.

LVblizzard Posted Monday at 04:32 PM Author Share Posted Monday at 04:32 PM Interesting how the snow went more north than expected (seeing reports of flakes north of Danbury, CT) but the heavy snow just did not want to reach SE PA at all. I can’t find a single report of over 2 inches in the entire Philly metro area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurricane Agnes Posted Monday at 04:46 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:46 PM Just measured 1.5" and the rates appear to be maybe a notch or two above just plain flurries at the moment. I see a dry slot to the west although perhaps it will back-build. Currently SN- and 26 with dp 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Agnes Posted Monday at 05:12 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:12 PM Now getting the biggest flakes of the day. Not pancake-sized but much more clumped then the fine stuff from throughout the morning. Temp still holding at 26 with dp 23 so must be some warming up in the atmosphere.

Still gorgeous, though, as per the pic, which also shows the two roads I mentioned above, one brined and one not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KamuSnow Posted Monday at 05:43 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:43 PM Just measured 1.50" on the dot. Not as much as forecast but it sure looks great outside! A few leftover flakes falling, started a snow pile...might add to it later. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of about 1:05 pm, we're up to 1.1" and down to very light snow, with not much more on the radar to our west, so this might be it, unless we get a rogue band over the next hour or two. Not too far off my 1.5" prediction yesterday and more than I thought we were going to get around 9 am this morning when we got off to a slow start. Just enough snow for a few kids to sled on, although they left just before I got the latest pic below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
