Coating achieved! Very thin but cars are covered and a few tracks on the road. :) -

You got wayyy more (very relative, I realize )than I did. Nothing is covered here other. Just a trace on car window trim. -

Seeing reports of 4"+ with heavy snow still falling in central VA. What a great surprise for them today. -

MU ain't playing around with the wind threat: NW winds of 20-40 mph with gusts up to 60 mph will buffet the region on Sat. In addition, temps will plunge into the teens Sat morning with wind chills as low as -15°F throughout the day and -20 to -25°F at night. Exposed skin could develop frostbite in just 10-15 minutes. Roadways may be littered with debris from the high winds, as well. Uninsulated/unprotected pipes may freeze or burst, and widespread power outages are also likely. Stock up on extra water, food, blankets, coats, flashlights and other supplies late this week. Make sure you have a backup generator too. In the event of a power outage, the internal temp of your house may drop to unsafe levels in just 12-24 hours. Finally, fill your vehicle's gas tank to prevent fuel lines from freezing. -

Yeah my wind gusts were updated to 50 from 43mph earlier. Sigh. -

GFS now gives us wintry precip on Wednesday and has lost the VD weekend storm threat. -

@canderson - you mentioned yesterday how little CTP was talking about wind potential on Saturday. I see in my forecast this morning that they're mentioning gusts "only" to the low to mid 40s now. Did something happen that in reality will reduce the wind threat? -

Middle of the uprights scenario right there. Overnight Canadians were friendly to us - certainly looked like it was going to be a flush hit. Euro as depicted was very concerning to me. It drove temps into the 40s clear up to Montreal while I basked in the mid 50s during a driving rain storm. That would spell significant concerns along the Susky for ice jam issues... -

I met my son at the Nook this morning for some early hoop action. Driving across Prospect Road from 283 to Washington Boro my car fluctuated between 4 and 21. I was surprised to see how low I got last night. -

7.3 for my low. 8.2 as I head to work. -

Fair enough, though my station isn't running hot. There are many wunderground stations between Elizabethtown and here at work that are between 35 and 40 right now. I'm sitting at 33.7. -

Respectfully, if it isn't a big deal to you, then why did you question the accuracy of my station? -

Absolutely correct! I'm often as much as 5 or so degrees different than MDT. -

My station is consistent with all of them around me. I believe it's just about 100% accurate. When I made my post, the Airpark down the road was 31. MDT has been consistently running lower than me for a couple of months now. Edit: Every station to my east is in the low to mid 30s. Every station between me and MDT is in the 28-31 range. Interesting. Still say my station is accurate. -

Yep, my low was a solid 15 degrees above forecast. My forecast high for today was 28, currently it's 32 at 9:25am.
