Interesting snippet from CTP's forecast discussion this morning: ( @canderson) The biggest story on Friday will be the potential for strong to damaging wind gusts. Building high pressure in the southeast US will interact with the potent and deepening cyclone crossing the Great Lakes to produce wind gusts exceeding 40mph Friday afternoon in the wake of the cold front. Anomalously strong wind fields could result in fairly widespread gusts of 40-50mph across the northeast US Friday afternoon. Wind Advisories may be needed for at least a portion of the area.

Measured .6" of snow yesterday evening. Season total is 5.4". Low this morning was 9.1. One of winter's greatest treats is early morning sun after freshly fallen snow. We've been treated to some spectacular scenes the past 3 mornings.

Smiling very broadly seeing you here. Very happy that you are feeling okay. Many of us have been thinking of you since last winter.

I had a burst of big dendrites that added up quickly. I was watching the band diminish as it moved east and was fortunate to maximize it.

Yes indeed! It's tapering off here now, I just measured exactly .5".

It's beautiful out...although it could not have come at a worst time for rush hour traffic.

Wow, didn't expect this. Snow is falling and quickly accumulating on all surfaces. 22 degrees.

I REALLY miss you posting more. I also totally get it why you don't. I think about you every time I don't see/hear from you after several days. You're really good people, Jon.

I'll be completely honest - I've learned to recognize that a lot of my issues with people in the past were self-inflicted. I've done a whole of soul-searching over the past year or two and admittedly have been working with a counselor to help me understand some things a little better. I think it's human nature at times to instinctively point in other directions when problems arise but after I learned how to think about myself and what affect I have on others, it can be honestly very humbling. I'd like to think that my posts have improved in 2025. I recognize that I have my own issues and I've been working through and addressing them. It also has to do with understanding that we're all different and that translates into every aspect of life, including posting "styles". And just because yours might be different...that's more than okay.

15 this morning. Still a lot of ice on open roadways exposed to the winds yesterday, I had to detour around a weather-related accident in Maytown on my way to work.

I don't have any social media outside of LinkedIn. Nothing else. I don't watch or follow any news outlets. The last person who is influenced by social media is muwah. Having said all of that I fail to see your point. What I did see (read) was a random, uncalled for attack on one of our posters. At the end of the day - we are all different. We're all shaped from our various backgrounds, beliefs, values, etc. Are there people here (and in real life) that make me wince? Absolutely. I'm sure I have that affect on others as well. I talk about this stuff for a living. And one thing I always stress is the fact that once we speak or act out of line, we're now part of the problem. And I think if you have a beef with someone there's a better way to address it than a verbal attack. I'm sure not everyone buys into my thought process but I'd argue that one look at society today proves my point. We are collectively a society that has turned it's back on respecting others.

Yeah...back to 4 hour games...

I absolutely love Canderson. Other than his baseball team.

Today is one of those rare days that gets me jacked as a weather guy- my temp was 26 at 10am and 4 hours later it's 19. Love it!

Temp - I didn't make it below freezing even here until well after midnight. As I posted above I had very little on my sidewalk and driveway.

It came through here as well.

3 measurements yielded an average of 4.5" here in Maytown. Everything was encased in white and made for a true Hallmark scene. Only had about 1" on the driveway so no shoveling was required. That was my only disappointment.

Since congratulations on 2 months of sobriety. I was in a bad place back in 1994. I was 29 but making good decisions in life. I needed to make a change. After a lot of counseling and a ton of support I walked away from alcohol on 7/17/1994. There are times when it's not easy but I have so many blessings in my life and I don't want to lose it for a bottle. Wishing you the best each and every day. My road has caved but I'm still at 32.4

Agree 100%. I still firmly believe I will do well. The perfectionist in me is frustrated that I'm losing precip to warm temps. I still have completely wet roads and just a slushy coating on the grass.

What was your high today? I got up to 41.

I had rain at the onset but just snow and sleet for the past hour.

This was my concern this morning. Despite having snow and sleet falling for the past 90 minutes it is just now starting to accumulate. Temp is still above freezing at 33.

Oh absolutely! I just had to laugh at that particular depiction.

Lanco screw zone. Gotta be right.

MU says it's here between 6-8pm.
