The point of landfall has moved a bit further south this morning, now near
Philadelphia and as a border-line category 1 hurricane or a top-end tropical
storm.
The amount of moisture in this storm reminds me of the 1972 Agnes storm
that went straight up the Susquehanna River.
The NWS forecast for York, PA includes a mention of the possibility of
snow at higher elevations. The cold front that is going to collide with the TS
remnants is going to create some serious problems.
