My station says we got up to 3.7°.  Must have been when the sun made it around to that side of the house.  Down to -1.6° now

Got home at 4 and my thermometer is saying -5, not sure what the exact high or low was here. Just glad to get some winter temperatures.

Not sure what my final low was but had -8 at 2am

Looks like 2" total from yesterday. I didn't expect the temperatures to get so low last night, -9 at 7:30am

Snow just picked up a little bit here, at 1.5" right now. Feels and looks like one of those days it could snow all day

Lol.  I was just kidding about the UHI. It would actually be a granite jungle more than a concrete one with all the grout piles. 

Lol no I know you were, funny stuff. I don't know if the contract is still in place or not, but when I worked for the National Cemetery Administration all our granite headstones came from Barre, pretty amazing volume wise for such a small town.

A cool 0.0° here. Must be the UHI effect of Lower Graniteville. 

Haha yea that's the concrete jungle over there, but in actuality it's just a blip on the map to 99% of New England. It was -8 at 7 when I went outside, not sure if that was the low or not but somewhere around there.

-2 out at the wood pile at 10pm. Was +2 around 8pm and breezy, calm now.

Just a dusting today of new snow. Look like about 5 inches on the ground.

26 at 7:30am, looks like a dusting of snow overnight. Had a little bit during the day yesterday as well.

-2 at 10pm out at the wood pile

My short (23 years) record shows 17.6° for 12/20 and 24.1° for the 24th.  Takes until the 30th before the average drops below the 20th average.  Even with my 15-day smoothing there's a pre-Christmas bump.  With the short POR, days like last Christmas (54/43 and 29° AN) and 12/29/17 (-1/-31 and 35° BN) have huge impact.

Interesting, thank you for that information!

It is snowing pretty good right now, up to 1/2" I would guess. 26° at 4pm and a little windy.

I don't know if any of you guys follow the weather ("eye on the sky") out of the Fairbanks Museum in Saint Johnsbury, but they give little notes about weather every day. I found this one interesting this morning, as this seems to be a hot topic around Christmas: 

Pre-Christmas thaws are not uncommon, as average temperatures on the Fairbanks Museum weather records, extending back 125 years, climb about 2 degrees from the 22nd to the 26th.

Ended with a little over 6”. Snowblowed the driveway and didn’t shoot any windows out with gravel so it was a success. 

Same here

Started here about 12:45. Small flakes.

33 at 7pm

The warmest I saw here was 44 at 3 o'clock, not sure if it's gone up since then or not.  Cloudy and foggy almost the whole day.

Burst of snow and wind last night put a quick layer down, don't know when turned to rain but the road is a sheet of ice. 

Just about all gone here too. 36 degrees

Around 1.5 here at 8 o'clock, still some snow coming down.

3° at the wood pile at 7 am 

At 6 am was 22° with lots of wind and light snow showers. Have transitioned to flurries and blowing snow. Around 3" on the ground with crunchy ice on top.

Light snow right now plus the little light snow and flurries we've been getting over the past days has been keeping it looking nice and wintery

5° at 6 am, snow is sparkly and a little squeaky
