  1. Current temp of 5 is the low. This has to go down as one of the colder Super Bowl Sundays in history. Just frigid. Although I agree with what @Itstrainingtime said yesterday, that I didn’t really notice the winds being bad here all day. The house never made the sounds it typically does in high winds, perhaps the slight change in direction was enough to mitigate but it just didn’t seem that serious here.
  2. Temps didn’t plummet until well after midnight. I brought this up the other day, how the ‘ol midnight high was really going to be a doozy yesterday. Stinks because it doesn’t at all tell the story of the day we had but that’s how the cookie crumbles sometimes.
  3. Big news over here as my .3” of snow melted down to .02” liquid. Carry on.
  4. Current temp of 12 is the low, down from 28 sometime after midnight. Melting down my .3” of snow.
  5. Wow that’s crazy, everything white here. As @anotherman mentioned looks like we have another batch moving our way. Perhaps a squall from the front in the cards.
  6. .3” here with neighborhood roads all completely covered. I love these events where the snow falls very lightly for hours upon hours in a cold airmass and eventually overtakes everything. All to add a few tenths to the books ha. Love it.
  7. Officially a coating here as certain surfaces are covering. A beautiful scene.
  8. A very light steady snow has broken out here. Mood flakes, always nice.
  9. I've been having similar thoughts all week, that the timing and temps could make that half inch problematic this evening. I'm just not sure there's enough juice with this system, seems pretty dry. We'll have to get some semblance of rates at some point to make it happen but if we do, yeah, I think things could turn dicey quickly with no pre-treatment on the roads.
  10. Low of 14. A rough average of all the models this morning has us getting about .6" of snow down this way this evening. It's a shame that arctic front isn't moving through a few hours earlier tonight because, as it stands, we're looking at one heck of a midnight high for tomorrow. Happy Friday, all.
  11. Low of 9 here as it looks like a pretty substantial inversion setup last night, with a wide variety of lows around the area. @Itstrainingtime at one point earlier this morning I was scanning WU and the Maytown airport station near you was at 15 while some station like a mile or two to its west was at 3.
  12. Huge bust in the low forecast here as my temp never went below 27. Clouds were supposed to clear out during the predawn hours and just never did.
  13. Yep. It's hard to find a spot that works perfectly year around but it sounds like you've done as well as possible. From my experience, virtually all home stations run a bit high when compared to the official NWS stations and are particularly prone to spiking when in direct sun, no matter what claims they make. It's why I don't fully trust most home stations. It's also why I don't report my own daily highs (except for very cloudy days), because unfortunately the only spot I have for it leads to full sun exposure most of the midday and typically leads to readings a good 3-5 degrees too high during the hours of like 10:30-2:30. LNS and MDT both on the verge of officially going above 32 for the first time in eons. Exciting times ha.
  14. Low of 21 since midnight but pretty sure it was colder than that earlier in the evening. Clouds rolled in and did their thing.
