rygar Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 26 here with moderate freezing rain. This is on top of several inches of snow/sleet. Sleet began earlier than expected, i think that is generally true across the area too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RU848789 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Wow, looks like that sleet line is advancing quickly. Still snowing here, with maybe 1.25" of new snow on the ground. Pretty outside. Waiting for the pings, lol. 25F. It's mainly sleet with some freezing rain mixed in here in New Brunswick so it must be IP/ZR in Metuchen as well. Just after this post, as I was going to bed around 2:20 am I started hearing the pings of sleet. Since I didn't measure again, I'll go with the 1.25" of snow I measured earlier - from what I heard it changed to freezing rain pretty quickly after the change to sleet. Woke up to a nice 0.2" or so of glaze on top of everything. Made for a fun drive from Metuchen to Rahway. Temp in Metuchen was 31F as of about 8 am and was 30F when I arrived in Rahway. Surprisingly, looked like they had barely touched Route 1, which was still slushy and slow. 92 - we are about 6 miles NE of NB, so it's not a given we're going to have the same weather at the same time (usually the case, but not always).

ChescoWx Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 This latest batch of heavy ZR certainly hurt my evergreens in the back...drooping badly now under weight of ice Should be above freezing by 1030 per Wxsim then above freezing till around 3pm then black ice....looks like another bad rush hour Current ZR Temp 31.1 Wind N at 3mph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVblizzard Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Looks like the last band to come through should stay all frozen as it's currently 27F here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterwarlock Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Just back in from plowing...32 and raining here. I think around 7-7:30 I could start telling the difference that it was going over to just plain rain. Looks like overall the storm will bust in storm amounts, not as much rain coming on the radar. It was not nice having to shovel snow with 1/4 to 1/3 inch ice glazed on top of it. Im done with winter.

Hurricane Agnes Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The temp finally went to 32F here in the hills of the city around 8:30. Had to go out in it about an hour ago to drop off the car and return, and there was moderate rain at that time. Current OBS: Temp 32.7 F Light Rain and fog Winds light to variable (with occasional gusts) out of the NE Because the surfaces were so cold, there is still some accretion happening on the colder surfaces (trees, shrubs, metal fences, etc) but water is running off these as well from the rain. Some of the shrubs and evergreens have been bent down from the ice accretion. There are big puddles on the streets next to plowed mounds and the streets were wet with granular slush (seemed to have been sleet from overnight).

JTA66 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Rain continues to fall, temp 32.8. I don't mind clearing off the car if it's snowing, but I'm having a hard time finding motivation with the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceman56 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Just left home in NW Chester County, 30.8 degrees and ZR. Picked up 1.7" of snow overnight. Icy, slushy mess for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChescoWx Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 sure does appear that way...temps should dip back below freezing toward sunset = black ice and then some lite ZR overnight toward morning.

Quakertown needs snow Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Drove to work from Qtown to Lansdale, lots of slush, ton of water with flooding in spots, nasty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shades Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I have a question guys. I'm sending this over from the NYC obs thread where we've noticed Wildwood's (KWWD) temperature reach 61 degrees so far this morning. Since no observing location in its proximity is nearly as high, thinking this is erroneous. A glance at the nearby buoys offshore doesn't show temps above the mid 40's over the water, adding to making this suspect. Furthermore, if recorded as official, it would go down as a record high for the site (previously 57 in 2006). I'm not familiar with the site, but it is purportedly from an airport in Cape May. What is the track of its accuracy this winter? Can one verify this location or is it unreliable? THanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quakertown needs snow Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Band arriving here in Palmer Twp. 26.1. ZR, obviously. How much snow did you end up with?

ChescoWx Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 With that last heavier period of ZR my anemometer froze over at around 915am....we are finally getting close to freezing here in NW Philly burbs so should see a little bit of melting soon. Plows have been by a couple times this AM and roads appear just wet....now my driveway...well that's another story Current Lite ZR Temp 31.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isotherm Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Still 30F with light ZR in Villanova. Trees are encased in ice, looks beautiful out there. Our elevation of almost 500ft probably helping us stay sub freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Di Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Raining. This will wash the salt and brine off the roadways no? The commute home could be worse than the commute in if the temps drop. Hope they hold above freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
