Sure more cold around, but not much to show for it on last nights model runs. Either OTS underneath or keeps SNE right on the R/S edge. Not the greatest

No chance

Edibles? Check EPS

I created a Winter 25/26 general obs thread in case anyone sees some snow this AM @Knoxtron and @John1122 I'm staring at y'all with jealousy.

Yep about the same here. We need the rain though

Overcast and 27/22 after a low of 19 here. We had a brief flurry around 7am but the real stuff is probably a couple hours away. My location will be uncomfortably close to the mixing line by late this afternoon but most guidance seems to keep it just a hair to my south. I'm just off exit 3 on I-93.

Is it snowing in the 'burg? If it is and its laying. Haven't heard any reports yet, unless I missed 'em.

About 1 inch of snow so far near Linglestown, but watching the warm nose push toward the Harrisburg metro.

Beer?

When’s it gonna start. Patiently waiting

Scooter knows and knew all along

Thought I would create a general obs thread for winter in case anyone sees some snow this AM and of course for the rest of the winter. @Knoxtron looks like some temps are between 34 and 36 down your way. Some radar returns down in. NE Alabama look snow-like: Wouldn't be surprised if you, or John, or one of our Cumberland county folks get a quick dusting.

(David Ludlum) 1925 - A late season hurricane caused extensive damage across the Florida peninsula, then moved off the Georgia coast crossing Cape Hatteras as a tropical storm.

NOAA Boston Weather Events) 1950 - A late season tornado killed four persons in Madison County and Bond County, east of St Louis MO. Three tornadoes touched down in Illinois that afternoon, compared to just half a dozen tornadoes in the month of December in 115 years of records up until that time. Thunderstorms also produced hail which caused more than four million dollars damage in the St Louis area, it was the most damaging hailstorm of record for Missouri.

One person was killed and 3 more were injured in a car that was carried 200 yards near Mt. Olive. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1964: The first major snowstorm of the season covered parts of northwest Oklahoma with as much as 9 inches of snow through the 3rd. Most roads became snow packed and hazardous, which caused schools across the area to close for one to two days. Just south of the heavy snow area, freezing rain and sleet iced highways and bridges along a belt 100 miles wide, from southwest to northeast Oklahoma. Temperatures in the teens and 20s helped to maintain the snow cover for a week. (Ref. Wilson Wx. History) 1968: The "Sacramento," a 250-foot fishing barge and former ferry between San Francisco and Oakland, succumb to a winter storm off Redondo Beach. 1970 - A tornado, 400 yards in width, touched down about one mile below the summit of Timpanogos Divide.

31 when degrees here and the warm nose has entered the conversation, as I’ve transitioned fully to sleet after a very brief period of snow. CC radar shows the line perfectly. Maybe .2” but happy for those that are making out. Hopefully not a harbinger of what’s to come down this way this winter ha.

Yup 22.3F and a dusting of steady SN-

We arch.

The jack should be where the WAA portion of the storm is maximized, and the banding this afternoon overlaps the most. I think the deformation is gonna come in a bit NW of modeling, seems like the atmosphere has it’s preferred deform location across Central NH based off prior events (aka congrats Dendrite)

Sure enough, got 3”. Three day total of 13.9”. 10” snow depth.

Mid month torch to wipe it out before reset.

Snow is serious business, man.

Sardonic this am I see because no snow for you. Man up it sucks but its OK. Go to your safe space.

33.8, rain, 0.1, hopefully can get >.75" from the storm

1/18/15: the last warm storm of the season. Started as ZR in NH (was was XC skiing in Jackson and it had been around 0 overnight, ZR started around 15, I came down a hill coated in ice; can't imagine it was much of a day at the downhill areas either), valley didn't scour out until mid-afternoon (I went skiing in the zr because it seemed preferable to driving in it) and eventually left once the temperature had gone above 32. The carnage on Route 16 was impressive, I saw the first spinout within the first mile, asked the trooper there if the roads were safe and he said "well, they're safe now." That was the last time it was above freezing up there for two months.

A number of the models were showing precipitation arching over the MA line into NH and Maine. Based on reports (not radar), that might be what's happening.

I am getting reports from both kids. The one in DC is not happy with her cold rain. Meanwhile the one up in Carlisle PA just found out her campus is closed today. And here in Frederick Co I just checked and FCPS MD is closed. My weather app says light freezing rain here. But I am sure up in the mountains it is more than that. ETA with no kids in FCPS anymore just found out the reason for no 2 hr delay was today is an early dismissal day. So would not have made sense to do a delay only to send the kids back home.
