2.76" here for January. Of that, 1.55" (56%) was from the snow event last weekend. The rest of the month was nickle and dime stuff. Unless things change in February and March we're going to be heading into Spring with a pretty large precipitation deficit. Not a problem now but it could well be by April and May unless we get some solid widespread precipitation over the next 2-3 months.

The early February sun doing its thing to the lighter fringes of snow cover over GA and SC today. https://www.meteo.psu.edu/ewall/PSUGOES_SE/loop60v.html

Pattern looks to become much more progressive with less amplification and reverting back to more northern stream dominated. Cold up in Canada is far less frigid and less widespread over western Canada than it was. Lowest temperature at this hour up in the Yukon Province is -1, most of the NWT is in the single digits above and below zero. Still cold and solid and deep snow cover up stream so we should get some benefit from that from that for a while. After next weekends cold shot the worst of the worst in terms of cold is likely over for the winter. I wouldn't bet against below normal precipitation for the first two weeks of February.

Overnight low of 0.3. Corrected. Long story. January precipitation: 2.76". Another month on the drier side of the ledger. January snowfall: 21.7". Snowfall season to date: 34.8".

Widespread snow cover. Most of that snow mid and upstate SC/NC and GA the result of the upper low bellying under them. Classic. The snows over the eastern Carolina's more a result of the coastal low moving e.n.e. out to sea that never got captured by the upper low. Deep storm for sure but hauling ass out to sea.

I think snow in south facing locations with a temperature of 32 and sun will help get things moving. Especially out this way where it is not quite as much of a glacier as places further east and south that had hours of sleet last weekend. Still just a slow melt though. At least streets that are struggling to get down to pavement in spots will get a boost. Haven't seen a large snow event with temperatures this cold lingering for a week plus in a long time.

That 22.1 in January is incomprehensible these days. Was in grade school and remember the walks to and from school that month!
-
A high of 32 in the shade will feel great standing out in the sun. Should get some slow melting as well at least early and mid this coming week.

3 degrees here with a very gusty breeze. WC -7.

Only dropped to 1 here. Zero at my location still remains elusive. Very surprising with the snow pack. In this mornings case high clouds started to roll in pre-dawn based on satellite loop and killed the chances of a zero. Was 2 degrees at 3am but only dropped 1 degree from that point. https://www.meteo.psu.edu/ewall/PSUGOES_MESO1/loop180.html List of coldest NJ mins:

It absolutely does, especially in south and southwest facing rooms. Once the sun sets though that "free heat" goes away fast.
-
I'm not there yet but suspect I will be within 2 weeks.
-
My bill is due to arrive any day. Was just thinking about what it might be. Last month was $367. This coming one has to beat that.
-
Endless cold without any decent snow is going to get old fast for some I suspect.

High here today was 14. The cold spot in NJ today was High Point with a high temperature of 8. Lowest temp of the season here to date is 1. It is currently 11. Clear skies and light winds should get me to at least 1 and perhaps the first zero or a touch below by tomorrow morning.
-
Low of 3 here for second morning in a row. Zero or below has been unusually elusive here during all this cold even with a solid snow pack. Seems there has always been a breezing kicking up or some high clouds.

With the 500MB pattern the way it is forecast to be and has been forecast to be for days this is not a surprise. Closing off upper low along the GA coast moving ENE, tilt of the trof which was not at all favorable, kicker feature and a sloppy surface evolution this was going to be a reach for anything decent up here, except for maybe a NJ coastal grazer and maybe central and eastern LI and even that is failing. Maybe someone, Don? can confirm when was the last time we had something major up here with a 500MB low digging to the GA coast? Certainly nothing I can remember from the recent big ones. Something that far south is going to peak and occlude way to soon and would be quite a feat to get a surface feature from off the GA coast to vicinity of the BM. It can happen but upper trof would have to be going negative rapidly, very rapidly. My friend in RDU is excited, been waiting a long time for something decent like this.

Low was 3 here this morning.

Whew, I remember the 1977, 78, 86 and 87 entries very well. Within a week to 10 days of the 1977 event the bitter cold season of Nov. and Dec. 1976 and January 77 came to a screeching halt and Winter abruptly ended. I remember waking home from school in February 77 and sweating on some days mid to late month. The great Ohio Valley cyclone in 1978 was of course followed 10 days later by the Blizzard of 78 along the east coast. The Ohio Valley cyclone had record low pressure readings that I believe still stand today. What a monster triple stream phaser event that was.

I’ll take the over on 45 by Saturday morning the way some keep trying to pull this event from the ashes.

Pretty expansive snow cover. Lake Erie is essentially almost all frozen over. Lake Huron is building some ice cover. Been a while since we've seen such expansive snow cover east of the Rockies. North and even South Carolina will pickup some solid snow depth over the weekend to fill in the map even more.
-
Low of 4 here. I was going to post about the -17 in Walpack and I agree they could sink lower than that before the worst of the cold peaks.

18z CMC and Euro got 9/50 dropscondes in their data set... 0z suite should have them all Lifted from NE forum.

In this cold I'm happy to stay home with the fireplace going and the tunes cranking. No desire to be out in this for any length of time. Took the garbage to the curb this morning and nearly broke my neck on a thin layer of frozen slush, probably should not have been wearing flip flops though. Roads around around here are still only one fully clear lane in spots. The snow / sleet combo and the absolutely frigid temps is highly unusual around here. Salt just has not been super effective. The snow mounds in the Shop Rite lot are huge and will likely be around well into March I'd say. Cars are in the garage here and even that is about as cold as it gets in there at 40 degrees.
