Fair amount of hyperbole going on. Even if the anomalies are positive, in the dead of winter, the temps are still cold. We have a crap pattern. Hopefully that changes. 

Over 1" here. Cold, windy rain. 38. 

I'm just looking for a storm. A good old fashioned coastal wind up. Maybe it will be powerful enough to kink the flow for future events. 

15/9. I didn't expect it to get this cold with last nights cirrus layer. 

That's a cold look....for Anchorage. 

No worries for me, I love snow/cold as much as the rest, but if I can save some money on heating oil, so be it. 

It looks like winter outside in my area. 32 degrees wit snow cover.

Just shoveled a 1/2" of snow/sleet that accumulated in the last 2 hours. 

Mostly sleet now. Still 22

2" here with this last push. Still coming down. 

21/20 here

Moderate snow band now. Had a decent lull. Eyeballing 0.5"

Moderate snow. Began at 11:40

21/3

16/-2

1" in Chester. Fat flakes falling.

Denial is strongly linked to a tribal identity with a particular segment peculiar to the United States. There is no point in arguing with these folks. It is like trying to convince someone to convert to another religion.

With all due respect, that statement is dripping in irony. 

It's rather a microcosm of how divided this nation is rapidly becoming. All sides are to blame. 

Debate and discourse is healthy in my opinion. Its unfortunate that both sides cannot have a dialog on a sensitive issue without devolving to ad hominem. 

Anyway, Merry Christmas and back to weather...

It is 29 degrees here. I guess it's mild when compared to my high temp of 16 on Wednesday. 

Haven't gotten to single digits yet this winter. 10 spot yesterday morning; 14 currently.

Trees are still covered in ice from Monday/Tuesdays storm.

Pretty soon, the salt encrusted sycamore in front of my row house. As always ..... 

Ha. Typical sycamore and London plane are incredibly hardy. They do suffer from early spring anthracnose on foliage. 

Makes sense. Randolph at .33" or so; I'm 5 miles west and have at least .25" maybe more. A decent amount of snapped limbs, old diseases trees are down. 

I have about 1/2" ice on all surfaces now. Hearing limbs starting to crack in the woods now. Still stuck at 31. 

31 with continued light freezing mist. Everything is covered in ice. Looks like an 1/8 to 1/4. Thankfully nothing has come down yet.

Driveway is an ice rink though. 

30/22 back home in Chester.

Freezing rain is not fun when your area is primarily serviced by overhead power lines, which in turn enable well pumps and oil furnaces to operate. 

16 this morning. Wood stove getting cranked up. 

15/12 at the homestead. Cold morning. 

15/12 currently. Cold morning 

Down to 19. Chilly.
