    Looks like I *might have* bottomed out at 16 this morning about 15 minutes after sunrise but I am still hanging around the upper teens and am currently at 17. However the dp is now "torching" and has "shot up to" 3F.

    GFS is hoochie mama's sugar daddy for sure. Still honking on that. As of 4:30 this morning, I was down to 18 with a dp of 0. It sucked the water out of my humidifiers overnight real quick so had to get them refilled again when I got up this morning.

    Thanks Paul! Glad to be back on the "green end" of a decade vs the "red end" of one.

    Well now that was your mistake right there. I bottomed out at 27 this morning, and it's currently partly cloudy, bopping between 29/30, with a dp of 14, and sporting an active breeze. Also registered 0.30" in the bucket yesterday although I know some was probably a bit of snow melt.

    Temps and dps have slowly dropped overnight and I finally went below 32 not along after 4 am. Ended up with a final high of 40 after 8:15 last night). About 95% of the snowpack is gone save for a few patches here and there (particularly in the north-facing areas) and from some depleted mounds of plowed snow. Currently clear and 31 with dp down to 16.

    Thank you - I have read your historical background posts and appreciated your check-ins. And yeah, just getting started with the creaks.

    When you are sledding on an ice-rutted street with potholes, the rails are the best way to do it because they won't get shredded like a tube. Tubes would be good on steep grassy slopes that are packed with snow or are useful going down piles of steps (they do that down at the Art Museum on those front entrance "Rocky steps"). Still there's nothing like an old-fashioned wooden sled with a rope to hang onto and (try to) steer the thing with.

    Ahh yes... And those times were very rare. We were a couple doors down from a lightly trafficked residential 1-way intersecting street that was on a hill and was perfect for the Radio Flyers when there were those rare times the street had a glacial ice base under some newly fallen snow. The only drawback was if there were huge plowed mounds at the bottom from the plow trucks that you slammed into if you didn't leap off in time.

    I just looked out and my 4.5" is all but disintegrated except for some shoveled mounds and patches here and there in open grassy areas. Temp is STILL going up and I am now at 40 (low was at midnight @25). Still getting some light rain although the back edge of that is getting close.

    Thank you. Do know that you are most appreciated here. I am always supportive of your office. I was a fed for 32 years before retiring almost 5 years ago and know first hand, about the abuse that feds often get thrown at them. We were, are, and always will be "regular folk" who have a mission of public service. Thank you. Starting to get more and more creaky nowadays. I know this is RedSky's fave -->

    Thank you. And that stuff has some kick.

    Thank you. I should get me some of that PA Dutch Eggnog that I have left in the fridge.

    Thank you. As my BIL always quips - glad to be "upright".

    My temps have continued to creep up and am currently at 39 with some windswept light rain here and there, and dp 38. About 3/4 of the snowpack is gone, but then since it was such a dry snow, that was to be expected.
  15. Hurricane Agnes
    I will 3rd that!
  16. Hurricane Agnes
    Thanks much!
  17. Hurricane Agnes
    Thank you. Thank you guys too! Best birthday present. A troll be in timeout.

    Today is my 60th birthday. I could be your mother but am thankfully not. You need to be on a time out.

    Apparently an Accuweather met tweeted out a 0.25" accretion out their way near State College.
  20. Hurricane Agnes
    That possibility was there but apparently didn't happen on this side of the state. I was concerned that even with above freezing temps, the ground was so cold that rain would freeze on contact but at least where I am, the precip held off until the past couple hours or so.

    When that arctic front comes through, everything wet is going to flash freeze!
  22. Hurricane Agnes
    And to echo the above, the sun finally popped out a bit (albeit briefly and obscured when it does appear since we are in a dry slot), although there is still a thick cloud deck and what looks to be more precip out in central PA. Temp crept up to 36 with dp 32 and got 0.03" in the bucket (so far).

    Updated Mt. Holly WWA map with mPING locations - When I had checked RadarScope earlier, there was one report in then NW 'burbs reporting IP too. Still at 35 with drizzle but dp now up to 30.
  24. Hurricane Agnes
    Just saw the ice storm warning - Currently 35 with dp 29 and now getting some drizzle and light rain.

    Here was the updated WWA map issued earlier this morning from Mt. Holly -
