8PM (1978): Temperature dropped. Viz did too: METAR KISP 070056Z 00025G38KT 0SM +SN BLSN VV000 M04/M04 A2934 RMK SLP936

Been seeing more of a freezing drizzle mixing in. At least in the lighter bands.

Yea, that was progged over my area like 48 hours out.

So the remaining eggs of the mosquitos are only killed by brutal cold like this?

Squalls look pretty robust and in several waves. Models I saw had more like one thin squall line originally

You sound like you have about what I do...Kev about what your parents have.

Asian lady beetles

Had a few ladybugs in the house this week

Picked up 3” at home this morning. Now at 3.6” for the month and 70.2” for the season. The official South Bend site saw 4.8”(!) bringing the seasonal total to 81.1”.

I just reported 0.3" to the NWS with our 12th winter "event" of the season.

Can’t even buy a flurry here

I swear man as soon as I left y'all get are getting snow left and right. Albeit, it's not 6"+ storms but seems as if as soon as @migratingwxand I left RVA was cured of the snow drought. I've been down here in Tampa for about 90 days now and MAYBE 4 or 5 of them have been cloudy/rainy and that's for ONLY the first or last half of the day. I think I'm going crazy with the amount of sun and lack of actual weather aside from the cold snap that reached down here the last few weeks.

As a vector disease ecologist I could not agree more. However, the snow cover will insulate the little bastards. Would be nice to have cold like this in November to really decrease the numbers. But this cold should also kill off some of our invasive mosquito species somewhat.

Since we're on the subject: 1995-1996 - A+. 75". Snowstorm after snowstorm, with 31" from the Jan7-8 storm; heck, even the rainstorm 11 days after "the big one" was interesting. Started with a bang with an accumulating "cold" snow in late November. 1972-1973 - F. It never even looked like winter. Zero measurable snow, along with most anyone else south of a line from around Staten Island to Trenton. Was cold enough at times, but the temperature would always rise before the precipitation. Boy Scout Klondike Derby at Camp Sakawawin at Stokes State Forest was a muddy mess. 2025-2026 to-date. B.

The key to intelligence and being successful is to change our opinions when new data warrants it. Being stubborn and sticking to an idea "just because" is never the right way.

This winter has been damn good for skiing. Sure we need more snow but for once we aren’t getting snow followed by warm temps turning the slopes icy. I know many are obsessed with having more falling but I personally like the cumulative snow cover and this is impressive. Sure I want more snow but I’d be even happier if we just stay cold with the occasional refresher. But I won’t turn more down either.

The preliminary CLI did not include this afternoon's snowfall, but the final will be sent around 1:30am. AKQbot has been periodically sending snow reports, so there is a chance we could see it before then. The 7 pm snow depth at RIC was 2", but at least 1" of that was already on the ground as of this morning from the past snow event. My guess is it will be around 10 or 11".

Wow, these radars are highly complex, based on the trouble shooting data i just found. https://training.weather.gov/nwstc/NEXRAD/modifications/183Troubleshooting_SPIP.pdf#:~:text=RCP AZ Control Unresponsive (357) RCP EL,Power Supply Fail (335) Perform SPIP Power. https://training.weather.gov/nwstc/NEXRAD/webinars/20201105b Hardware Change on SPIP and Pedestal.pdf

RT 49 east into RI type of event

To my surprise I saw 10 snowflakes.

I am not complaining about this winter. Sustained cold. Two 6”+ events plus some minor 1” events. Extended snow cover. Sure beats the 5” years. I’ll take it. It’s not often on Long Island we have almost a month of snow cover

WB 18Z AI EPS was basically a hold.

Use Freeimage . Download pic to it then cooy and paste addy from pic to your browser and copy addy and paste in post box on here.. it'll post the Image. That's how you get around them cutting your allowed file size. I can't post anything without a host as they only allow me 123 kbs .

0.5 inches in the northern Neck subtropics.

Yes and thank you.
