Recorded 0.3 inches in early afternoon squall. How did the rest of the HV do?

I had various periods of flurries and snow showers during the day. The squall that came through around lunch time dropped visibility to 1/4 mile and left .2 on the board.

Official first flakes flying at various times today. Low was only 29, forecasted to be 25, 34/22 currently. 

Official first measurable earlier as a heavy squall moved through dropping temps and visibility under 1/4 mile briefly left .2 on the board which has all since melted, 36/25 now.

Many accidents in Sussex County, including my 18 yr old on the way to school. Thankfully, she’s okay. Trooper got 6 more calls while writing up the report. He noted the icy conditions as he himself slid while pulling up to the scene.

Glad she’s ok. Christmas Eve 2013 my 21 year old son slid off the road with his two younger brothers in the snow squalls that moved through that evening. They were also ok but it’s nerve wracking for sure.

Monitor whats going on in the Delmarva -I95 corridor... VERY sharp trough developing eastern USA.

WPC D1 from this afternoon mirrored the SPC HREF D1... looks too low in my NOWcast mode as I look at the radar and multiple models. Am looking for 1/4-3/4" for much of the subforum by Noon tomorrow between 7P tonight and Noon Monday.  This past Fri-through Noon Monday should see 0.3-1.25" for the 4 day period by the time we look at CoCoRaHs range of dates. 

.40" overnight brings me to .75" since Friday.

Why would I want to take the time to do that? Why can’t we just simply load a picture like other sites ?

But does the link even work ?

Agreed, the photos issue is also triggering now that it's almost 2026. The links work, didn't realize your lawn looked so bad, good luck with that. 
 

I kid, I kid, looking good.

I just moved up here from central NC. Had been there my whole life aside from a year and a half in DC. And boy I’ve had my share of disappointment. Hope I’m not too late on the climate change scale to experience a snowy NYC winter. Excited to learn some of the fundamentals of this climo!

Welcome! If you're a football fan, how do you like Bill? My guess is that since you were not up here for the very snowy period that some here grew up with and thought was the new normal, you won't be disappointed especially when you compare a winter here with those further south.

Only .21 here. Lol at all the out of towners chirping in. Built it they will come.

In my case I was born and lived in New Hampshire as a young child, love keeping tabs on New England weather, especially northern New England. When I retire there's a decent chance I'll become a local again.

Anyone getting some weather this morning?

Down here just under 200 miles to your SW, .33 overnight and clearing rapidly moving in to shed sunlight on the bare trees and cleaned up yard, yesterday was final cleanup for me, 44/43 now. 

.33

To me a freeze is upper 20’s for a few hours

Traditionally 32° was a light freeze, 28° moderate, and 24° hard.

I kind of agree but officially I guess 32.0 does it? 

Interesting, I don't recall the moderate freeze. FWIW the NWS defines a hard freeze at 28 according to this link. A freeze is still 32 degrees believe it or not...https://forecast.weather.gov/glossary.php?word=freeze

29f.  First freeze of the season.  And so it begins

Just posted in the other thread, heavy frost this morning, low of 26, 27 now. 

Heavy frost out there this morning. Went below freezing just before 9pm and got down to 26 this morning, 27 currently.

Had a few dead ash drop; they needed to come down anyway, so a net positive here. 

So many more need to come down. My brother had a dead up up root last week due to the rotten roots, the tree itself stayed intact.

Yeah the wind woke me up, it was ripping pretty good but thankfully appeared to be just above treetop level here.

Gotcha, thanks. We had a High Wind Watch issued up here yesterday that went to a Wind Advisory.

No.   Just a watch

Ah, so there was no downgrade.

Downgraded to wind advisory

Was a High Wind Warning ever issued?

If you want to trust the Euro snow map a week out (one can't), those of us in Orange County will have some shoveling to do.

I had the same with the vantage vue. When the sun hit it directly it would read about 2 degrees higher than when totally in the shade.

With the Vue I also noticed that issue common with home weather stations where it downpours the rain totals were a bit high. Did you notice that at all? Both those issues were annoying to me so I saved up and got the Davis Vantage Pro2 and haven looked back since both those issues went away. As a result, there’s a period of 6 or so years in my records where I have to take the high temps I recorded with a grain of salt, it’s evident in my records. 32 for the low here earlier, 34 now under gray skies.
