And there it is...32.3 now here at home.

-8.3.

Now that you mention it...I did see a kid down the road with his Red Rider in hand...

MU is in on the cold train for tonight, calling for a low of 2 in Lanco.

In the past 15 minutes I've risen 2 more degrees to 31 now. Also, just had what appeared to be at least half of the snow on my south-facing roof slide off. Startled me.

29 here currently. I say yes for me. Maybe.

20 in Maytown. As Phil Collins said years ago when naming one of his biggest albums of all time... No Jacket Required.

Snow covered areas facing south/southwest are taking a beating down here today. Just drove by the park in Washington Boro and the hill along the parking lot up to the pavilion and ball field is green. 29 at home currently. Edit: From the picture you shared the other day of you and the laundry baskets I'm sure your front yard received minimal melting damage today. You look like you're in a good spot to minimize melting on sunny days that stay below freezing.

Harrisburg/Middletown area has been running much colder this week for whatever reason. I do not ever remember MDT consistently being colder than I am. Shoot, I'm up to 24 now.

GFS isn't alone with that evolution, correct?

Sunny and 20 in Maytown. Melting has commenced on south-facing exposed areas.

Each morning this week has been unique in terms of temp distribution - on Tuesday it was warmer at home than anywhere on my drive to work. Yesterday the temp was bouncing around wildly the entire drive and this morning my temp was colder than anywhere else on my drive. All 3 mornings were plenty cold though.

Yeah but I'm meh-ing the heck out of this threat until I see a Banana high.

Currently it's 0.0 which is the lowest of the day here.

6 here in Maytown at 9:30pm.

Another crazy snowfall oddity - the big story in CA has been the unfortunate and devastating wildfires recently. It's been incredibly dry which has aided the formation of those fires. One other note pertaining to the dry weather is the lack of Sierra snowfall. In fact, it appears as if much of the Sierra will likely make it until the 2nd week of February before the next chance of anything more than a inch or so if that. With that said... When January ends, this appears to be the final monthly snowfall totals: Pensacola Florida: 8.9" Mammoth Lakes, California: 3.7" (Mammoth is at 108" for the season with almost all of that falling between October and December. That is only 39% of where they should be to date.)

18 degree rise in temp at home so far, up to 13 from -5. Now running a little ahead (warmer) than yesterday.

Just saw that. And yeah...that would definitely qualify as a setback. LOL

Looks like Cape Hatteras, which is out there a ways in the Atlantic picked up 9" of snow last night. Picture is from Hatteras Village. This is much farther south than a lot of tourists go who vacation on OBX.

@Bubbler86 - per the SE Obs thread, parts of Florida received between 8-10" of snow yesterday. Just jaw-dropping to think that parts of Florida have a deeper snow cover than here as of the moment. I'm sure they'll lose it quicker than we're losing ours.

I think that the Carlisle area was around -23 or so in January 1994. (just as a reference since you weren't living around here at the time)

Funny you mention this, the morning back in 2010 that I referenced above your post - I started the morning at -10 and got up to 36 that afternoon. Also, it was -10 at 6:45am. By 10am my temp was 27.

I can't but I don't recall MDT being this low since 1994. At my house, my -5 reading this morning comes in 6th place since 1994. There were mornings over the past 20 years when with deep snow cover and calm winds I radiated out a little more than last night. I didn't join the radiational cooling party until 9pm, so I lost a few hours. My coldest reading since 1994 was a -10 back in 2010.

I'm honestly really glad that you said this. Not sure why, but I was almost afraid to share how I honestly felt. When I walked out this morning, my driveway is faces south. Even on windy mornings it's often "calm" in my driveway because my house shelters the wind. Regardless, with the sun rising and the complete lack of a breeze, if I didn't know what the actual temp was and what the temp was forecast to be, I would have assumed it was much warmer...maybe around 20 or so? It just did not feel that cold. If it was dark and the wind was blowing that would have changed the conversation completely.

Ha! It was -5 when I went out this morning to start the car. No jacket. Sun was coming up and it honestly didn't feel bad at all. "Dry cold" - very much Alaska-like. With no wind and as dry as it is it doesn't feel that cold to me.
