25.7°/21.3° Will be interesting to see how well ice accretes here at 900ft vs. 1400ft just up the road. Thankfully, it doesn't look like it'll accrete too well on branches for the most part. Either way, I'm expecting the ground to resemble a glacier by tomorrow afternoon. Might need to bust out the damn ice skates to navigate the yard.

I remember seeing ice flowing under the Verrazano and in that bay many times as I grew up in Brooklyn and that happened often in the 70's and 80's,,,,,

Wait, is DE part of the forum?

No freezing rain ever. There's nothing worse. Whoever wishes for it. Never actually lived through an ice storm.

FROPA

Drove from Nashua to Weymouth today. My god is there enough chemicals on the roads? Was driving through a cloud of salt.

MKX mentioned a potential upgrade to Blizzard warnings for the northern CWA if some of the higher end winds come to fruition in their afternoon AFD. Even without that, wind gusts up to 60 mentioned which iirc would be our strongest synoptic wind event since 12/15/21. So that's fun I guess.

Way to put the rain snow line on my house Sent from my Pixel 9 Pro XL using Tapatalk

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm not seeing much snow potential until the following weekend storm period...about Jan. 9 forward.

Seems like just plain rain.. no glazing yet

As I was told, ORD did not stay that close to -6 F above normal but they didn't get into the real core of that crazy warmth that is now about to get the boot east ... it has played havoc with my ATL and IAH estimates and DEN has stayed well above +10 just turning cold yesterday. Think the final values now look like being around -5.0 _ -5.0 _ -5.5 __ -4.0 _ +1.0 _ +4.0 ___ +10.0 _ +6.0 _ +3.5 will present some preliminary scoring on that basis, going to need to figure out max-60 mercy rule scoring for the western locations.

29 and rain has started here...

28° freezing rain. I always like a little ice topping on my snow cover as long as I don't have to drive in it.

I'm just trying to just take it as it comes--and also that everything will be fine if it doesn't work out for whatever reason. We've been through enough fails that we know we'll complain for a couple days then be fine. But what we can't do is let our brains start "Yayyyy this is real now!!!" when it isn't yet...it just makes the swings it worse when if/they happen, lol Alright that's my 2 cents on the psyche side--no more of that

Embarrassing really.

Yeah, we tend to max out cold at 1500-3000ft around here. Though I’m not sure I remember one as shallow as this. 3,000ft can be the coldest on east slope but in this it’s much lower around 750-1,000ft.

I know, its easy to be pessimistic about snow in the area but here’s my HH preview of our radar in a few weeks

Listen...treat it as potential and nothing more. It's not real right now. Don't get too high on it--that's when the problems start on the emotional side of things.

Holding the cold here at 26 but qpf seems limited.

...yesterday we got a notice from our 3-man highway department. The town has 2 sanding trucks. One broke down yesterday so the notice said to expect major delays in road treatment. Our plow is fine but you know my location. Only one steep way up and down. Wish me luck. I hope we can get above freezing for a few hours before the wind and cold come roaring back. Looks like we will have a glacier type landscape for awhile. Speare hospital, get ready. Lots of incoming slips and slides this week.

Also wrong for Jay Peak, VT. They are at 238" for the season.

Topped out at 38. Now 27. Slowly decreasing. GYX saying we bottom out around 26 and end up at 38 at sunset tomorrow. Still calling for 0.4" of freezing rain.

Nice lil local chase. Tor warned cell northwest of Gilman, IL before getting wrapped in rain and touching down east of Clifton, IL Damage pics east of Clifton, IL

It was 48 today, supposed to be 63 tomorrow then the cold front.

Transformer arcing with power on/off here. More ice to the point sturdy bush limbs way lower to the ground. APX I sure hope we can lose the ice before this
