I can't report event total precip because I can't get the rain gauge unfrozen from it's rack to bring it in by the fire to thaw out. And I can't use the old hair dryer heat gun on it because power's been out for 6 hours.
Not a big deal, but kinda felt like complaining.
Temp 11, DP - 3
(I think we'll struggle to get single digits here tonight)
Visibility in Annapolis has improved to 1/3 mile, in fog, mist, rain.
I'm placing my obs in the obs thread instead of the icy event thread because I don't think we've had one drop of ice here today. Miserable, cold, rain.
I seem to recall that @WxUSAF faced the same issue when looking for his first freeze last month. Might be worth looking into, but I don't like to question other observers' siting. Y'know, throwing the first stone and all that.
