My current just dropped to 5 (dp -7). That is some serious cold this early in the season! I had pooh-poohed some of the models showing single digits here in the city (due to it being December and not January or February) but right now PHL is at 8.
-
Well my station "officially" registered a 50 degree temp drop in under 22 hours. So far I am currently at 6 with dp -5 (my deep freezer that cycles on and off and has a sensor in it so I can track it, is currently at -6 (it cycles down to about -14 or so).
-
Now down to 8 with dp -4. Last time I hit single digits was back on February 1, 2019 (definitely nothing like that in December), with the same temp.
-
My high early this morning (~2:40 am) was 57 and I am at 10 right now, a 47 degree drop!
-
Humidity in my house went from ~38% (with humidifiers or with the rains yesterday/today) down to 25% (with them off and the end of the rain). Literally just filled my big one and turned it on. Am now down to 10 and the dp is -2.
-
Even with this wind, am at 11, a temp you'd expect with good radiational cooling! DP is currently -1.
-
Can't make french toast then! Well my temp hit the mid-teens well before the 7 pm estimate as it's currently 15 with dp 4. I had turned off the humidifiers during the rain but time to fire them up because I expect the dp may end up in the negative single digits and I'm not partial to zapping myself walking through the house.
-
Yikes! I know there are a bunch of dead and half-dead trees in the woods near my house (you could tell during the summer when their tops were leafless and some of the branches had leaves and others didn't). I wouldn't be surprised if any of those snapped (although as long as they fall within the woods line, then the impact is minimal to none). Currently partly sunny with changeable skies, breezy, and now down to 21 with dp 9.
-
Down to 23 with dp 13 as the arctic air mass means some business. Have changeable skies and lots of wind. It has dried off the walks.
-
Sun out. Final rain total was 0.90" for today (2-day 1.91"). Got a light dusting on grassy surfaces, house roofs, and car tops - much of it disintegrating now. Currently partly sunny and temp is 26 with dp down to 20. I know I'll lose about 10 more degrees off of that by tonight.
-
Back edge is coming through and the sky is brightening. Temp now 26 with dp 25.
-
Temp now down to 27 (dp 26) with an increase of snow back to SN here and finally getting some stickage on the grass and cars. Still a dusting but it's definitely there.
-
Down to SN- and the only places that have a sign of frozen is a little dusting in random parts of the mulch outside my door (so far). Nothing on grassy areas or cars. Temp down below freezing at 31 with dp 30.
-
So far it's been too wet to stick here at the moment but temp is down to 32 and I did run out to bring in the Stratus so I can do a rain measurement up to that point. Not planning on any water equivalents at this point if anything did accumulate as it's supposed to come and go quickly. Now hearing some strong wind gusts as the cold air comes pouring in...
-
Getting SN with no mixing but larger flakes (not quite fatties but close). Temp down to 34 with dp 33.
-
My lightning detector picked up both strikes although only the first was audible with an extended thunder clap. Am now down to 38 with dp 37 and 0.86" in the bucket. May try to bring in my Stratus to do a measurement before it freezes solid and maybe take out the inner tube and just leave the big tube out.
-
Currently very breezy here and temp down to 39 with dp 38 with light rain. Am up to 0.85" rain for the day. When I popped out briefly, am not seeing any frozen yet.
-
Temp dropping. Down to 41 now (dp 40) and another convective strike nearby about 7 minutes ago (didn't hear any thunder with it). Have light rain now and up to 0.79" for the day.
-
Pouring and just had some lightning/thunder about 10:26 am. Getting 0.43"/hr rate (ETA now at 0.54"/hr) and am up to 0.75". Temp 44 with dp 44.

That WWA Newman posted for N/W, also got lofted all the way to about the first set of counties into NJ and down into parts of DE and MD.

SAT word for the day!

I wanted to text my sis to tell her that it was "blizzarding" out there but I know there's a "technical" definition for what would be considered "a blizzard". Still getting on and off rain and am up to 0.52" with more apparently incoming. Temp is 44 with dp 44 and light rain.
-
One of my BIL's is from Dayton, OH and some years he and my sis would drive out there for Christmas (they were there at Thanksgiving this year) and I just checked and it's -9! Many of the times they did go out there this time of year, they always ended up getting caught in some kind of snow/frozen either while there or on the way there this time of year. Currently 44 with dp 44 and some light rain has started up again here, with 0.50" in the bucket sofar.
