I have sleet

I think there's room for improvement there, then. Decades ago when I worked on a naval air station, a severe thunderstorm warning was treated very differently from an extreme wind event. While the two may share some similarities, they were not equal in terms of protocol. These days I'm just some Joe Schmoe behind a keyboard with a worried wife from SoCal and a mom who wants to know if she needs to put the horses in because of lightning. When something doesn't make sense to me, I complain about it on the internet. We do this for fun and I don't envy the job our mets actually have to perform. I guess I'll just take everything I learned here tonight and apply that going forward. Thanks for your service and your replies. Down to 37°F and I'm hearing pingers on the windows. An interesting day and night all around, regardless.

Power flickering. Seeing temperatures down 20-25 degrees in some parts of SEPA. Impressive front.

Synoptic stuff is done here. Most things blacktop stayed wet for the most part, but about 2.5” on pretty much everything else. Add some thunder snow and some gusty winds to that and guess I can’t complain about an event like that.

Snowing at State college, 27F, WWA, 2-4". We'll see some flakes...

Winds are roaring right now. This is my 2nd favorite weather

The wind from that front was pretty crazy. It's full on snowing over here with car tops covered.

Next winter you will be begging for mercy.

C'mon man...just enjoy the little stuff too. Winter really got to ya, didn't it? (Now with the missed blizzard I definitely understand the Eeyoring for that, lol Took me a day and a half to shake the bad mood from that one!)

Squall line approaching. Severe warned over western nj

Cool radar shot from Channel 7

Plenty of downed trees in the area - we had the power go out 5 times with the generator on and off. Temp down to 39.3 and the rain has changed to snow just to my west in NE Lancaster County

I thought it was supposed to rain and be windy?

2.09 going to really put stress on already high rivers here and not all snow had melted

Had a period of steady sleet with a temp of 37 and now it appears I’m transitioning to snow as the temp has dropped to 35. Glorious. I need to go to bed but…..snow.

42 here, down 18 in the past 20 or so minutes. My PWS which is not in an optimal position for northerly wind reported a 28mph gust, but the guy up the street who has one in a better position reported a 58.2mph gust on wunderground.

Quite the CAD in the lee of the Whites. 41˚ at KMWN, warmer than anything in basically an Ossipee-Bridgton-Crawfords triangle. Although anyone over about 1000' AMSL is warmer. Meanwhile KHIE is 58˚.

Pingers here...can't remember the last time we had two T-storm to frozen events in one winter, lol

Lucking into a semi-respectable March snow total from one overperforming event in what has otherwise been a torchy, April-like month is really something. That puts the official seasonal total over 50”.

Here’s a tally as of 10:55PM EDT today: only 2 tornadoes and 1 large hail event! But there still were 258 high wind reports! So, it wasn’t exactly quiet:

Electrical fires seem to be the hot ticket...

No one at TSA-just walk on through lol

This is how these types of events have been treated for decades. Also, not every spot in a warning experiences wind damage.
