Somewhere around 5 inches here, hard to tell with all the blowing. Some areas around the corners of the barn and shed can see grass since it's been whipping around so much. Still have snow falling at the moment but is small flakes. It's pretty windy outside.

Freezing rain and 31.8°. Deck is coated. My wife just came back from a neighbor’s up the road and said the roads are starting to get a little icy. 

Front porch and driveway had a coating here as well. Light snow has just begun and it is 29.

Been barely flurrying here on and off since the quick rain earlier

Just looked that up, very interesting. I do work with the Army and have dealt with the Army Corps of Engineers on some facility projects down south.

It's a pretty cool place, I enjoy working there. I actually work for the facilities maintenance there, I don't do the actual research projects.

Do you work in an ice cream factory?

Haha no but that was funny and got me laughing. I'm a federal employee, work at the cold regions research lab in Hanover, NH. It's run by the Army Corps of Engineers, lots of research experiments relating to the earth's cold climates.

Yeah my wife just sent a photo that looks like over an inch at least, ha.  At least it’s white.

I agree, looks much better with the blanket of white. I work at a place where there is snow and ice year round indoors, temperatures down to -60F or even lower. But there is something different about seeing it outside.

Not home but got a picture of my kids playing outside in snow, grass just about covered

Nothing here overnight, saw some flurries around 10 but that was it.  Nothing on the ground here 

32 or 33 and just flipped to snow

Had some graupel and then light snow, stuck in the shady spots where the sun doesn't hit

17 out there right now

Snowing here but nothing sticking.

Brrr that’s a hard freeze!

Yes it was, but bright sunshine now and the roof is melting off already.

22 at 7 when I headed outside, was a clear night here.

I went outside at 5:45, beautiful morning with the bright moon and stars, also some clouds here and there lit up by the moon. Was 25 at that time. 

Went back out at 7 and was 24. 

Was a pretty good day to start moving the wood into the barn until showers moved in. Got to help a tourist from Arizona with some directions so that was good, was glad to be outside. Leaf drop is becoming more noticeable.

Current foliage

Just wanted to report frost on the windshield at 3 am. Thermometer is behind the house and my vehicle doesn't have one so I'm not sure what the temperature was.

A couple full moon shots from the other evening in Stowe.  The last three days have been phenomenal for viewing the huge full moon...tonight's stratus layer at 3,000ft, not so much.

Great pictures. Love how bright the night sky is around here. Have actually been thinking of buying some books about constellations, planets, stuff like that which can be visible. I look up there and have no idea what I'm even looking at sometimes.

Was there any talk of possible frost chances last night? Had a couple plants that looked and felt like they had frost on them. Maybe they were right on the verge of frost or a light frost, if that is a term.

Was cooler this morning than I expected it was gonna be. Headed out to try and get rid of a wasp nest around 5:30 and it was 39, that coupled with wet sneakers from the dew felt a little chilly.

I enjoy it. Stick your bum in a nice, cool stream. 

That does help a lot. Just being near some flowing water is cooler.

Down to 39 this morning.

Everyone gets sick of excessive heat and humidity as they get older; I see them talking about it all the time in our main subforum threads.  With age, it just gets harder to handle extremes like that.

I can understand that as well. It can be draining at times, especially when the sun is so strong like it is around here in the summer.

Crisp there!  54F here now and 0.39” in the stratus gauge from today’s two rounds.  Slider doors shut, that time of year.

It is crispy out, can see my breath lol.  Love it.  I am becoming less and less of a summer person. I bet that'll change as I get older though.
