We had a moderate to heavy burst of rain about a half hour ago.

Raining moderately now.

[Category 5]

We had a steady rain all night. Then the wind picked up at about 5:20. We've had gusts from 30-40mph. About an inch and a half of rain so far. Should be ending soon.

Still a steady rain now, wind is about 10-20mph.

[PhillyWX]

We had about an inch of rain here. I'm enjoying the mid 50's that we have though LOL.

[angelwing]

Just got in, took the Burlington Bristol Bridge, the Delaware is high but I've seen it higher. The creek behind my apartment is out of its banks though, probaly will leave early to see what's what later.

Around 3AM this constant knocking nosie woke me up, it was the rain hitting the patio doors, and man it was windy!

[Category 5]

I saw some minor "Ponding" in low spots, small creeks were running high.

Even saw a large tree down.

[Stephanie]

You should've seen the Atlantic Ocean off of Atlantic City. The waves were breaking way out to sea! You could tell that the sand was stirred up in the water as well. I've seen during the winter where there have been surfers in their wet suits catching a good wave after a storm has hit, but it would've been way to dangerous Friday. I didn't see one out there.

High tide also brought the water up to the sand dunes. I'm at the Showboat. I don't think that it usually reaches that far up.

The back bays were high and choppy as well. We were extremely lucky that this wasn't a snow storm.

[angelwing]

[marq=right]And I heard that we might get 1-3 inches of snow Wednesday!!! [/marq]

an arctic cold front is forecast to move through the area by this
afternoon. more scattered snow showers along with localized

changing road conditions and keep plenty of distance between
yourself and the vehicles around you. behind this front another
unseasonably and bitterly cold air mass will invade the region on
gusty west to northwest winds.

wind gusts will average between 25 and 30 mph with gusts
frequently to around 40 mph this afternoon into tuesday morning.
please make sure to secure loose outdoor items and drive
cautiously over bridges and overpasses.

low temperatures on tuesday morning will be mainly in the teens.
coupled with the strong winds this should produce wind chill
factors reaching around zero late tonight and early tuesday
morning.

if you will be outdoors during this time use common sense and dress
warmly...making sure that all exposed skin is covered. if
possible...avoid prolonged exposure to the cold to prevent frostbite
and hypothermia. if you are traveling, make sure you have extra

...UNSEASONABLY COLD WEATHER WILL CONTINUE WITH THE STRONG LIKELIHOOD
FOR A WIDESPREAD ACCUMULATING SNOW ON WEDNESDAY...

AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT HAS MOVED THROUGH THE REGION. THE
UNSEASONABLY COLD AIR MASS WILL CONTINUE TO GENERATE SOME
SCATTERED FLURRIES AND ISOLATED SNOW SHOWERS INTO THIS EVENING.

WIND SPEEDS TONIGHT AND TUESDAY WILL AVERAGE 15 TO 25 MPH WITH
HIGHER GUSTS. LOW TEMPERATURES TUESDAY MORNING WILL BE MAINLY IN
THE TEENS. COUPLED WITH THE STRONG WINDS, THIS SHOULD PRODUCE WIND
CHILL FACTORS REACHING AROUND ZERO COME TUESDAY MORNING.

IF YOU WILL BE OUTDOORS DURING THIS TIME USE COMMON SENSE AND DRESS
WARMLY, MAKING SURE THAT ALL EXPOSED SKIN IS COVERED. IF
POSSIBLE, AVOID PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THE COLD TO PREVENT
FROSTBITE AND HYPOTHERMIA. IF YOU ARE TRAVELING, MAKE SURE YOU
HAVE EXTRA GLOVES, WATER, SOME LIGHT FOOD AND A MEANS OF
COMMUNICATIONS IN THE EVENT YOUR GET STUCK. MAKE SURE THAT YOUR
PETS ARE ALSO PROTECTED FROM THE EXTREME COLD.

WINDS WILL DIMINISH TUESDAY NIGHT, JUST IN TIME FOR AN ALBERTA
CLIPPER TO MOVE THROUGH. THIS LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL START
SPREADING SNOW INTO THE REGION LATE WEDNESDAY MORNING AND SHOULD
END DURING WEDNESDAY EVENING. INITIAL ACCUMULATION ESTIMATES ARE
FOR 2 TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW. WHILE THE SNOW WILL BE ON THE FLUFFY
SIDE, THE RENEWED COLD WEATHER WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR IT TO STICK
ON MOST ROAD SURFACES. THE GREATEST IMPACT BASED ON THE CURRENT
TIMING IS FOR THE SNOW TO AFFECT THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING COMMUTE
ON WEDNESDAY.

ANOTHER ARCTIC SHOT WILL FOLLOW IN THE WAKE OF THIS CLIPPER, BUT
MODERATING TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED IN TIME FOR THE WEEKEND.

...unseasonably cold weather continues with snow expected on
wednesday...

unseasonably cold air remains over the region. temperatures are
only expected to rise into the middle and upper 20s today in extreme
southeastern pennsylvania, the upper delmarva and southern new
jersey.

with a northwest wind at 15 to 25 mph today gusting to 35 mph, it
will feel 15 to 20 degrees colder than the actual air temperature.
as a result, you should limit your time out of doors today, if at
all possible. when venturing outside be sure to dress in layers and
wear a warm hat and gloves.

an area of low pressure is forecast to develop over the middle of
the country tonight. the low is forecast to race to the east and it
should pass off the virginia coast on wednesday afternoon. with the
cold air in place, the system should bring snow to southeastern
pennsylvania, southern new jersey and the upper delmarva on
wednesday.

the snow is expected to begin on wednesday morning and it should
come to an end during the evening commute. snow accumulations of 2
to 4 inches are possible.

1.25" here.

[Stephanie]

I'd say about 1.5" in my neighborhood. Just enough to make things look pretty and thankfully, the roads are fine!
