You think you were weird. In the old days I would wander around by streetlights holding a thermometer and a one foot ruler, taking numerous readings for hours and hours. I'd find a patch of ice and slide on it at high speed whooping it up like someone who's just won five billion dollars in the mega millions scratchoff. Man there is nothing, nothing at all, like the high high you can experience by seeing those big aggregates blowing by the streetlights, banshee northeasterly winds blowing snow along the ground, all while you walk slowly by while blasting your favorite track in your headphones!

Its something I heard from another poster here back in the Eastern US Weather Forum days. Every time we had sleet in the DMV, that poster would mention that having a lot of sleet in your backyard was like having a hot sister. Now I've taken it up. Later on, someone else will proclaim it. I am not sure what it means lol.

Getting a lot of big heavy sleet is just like having a hot sister.

I know that feelin! Many times in the old days when I was younger and living in N VA, I'd stay up all damn night and all the next day to watch the snow! I LOVED SNOW and I loved diggin it too! I'd blast the livin heck out of ELO as well! Especially in the Incredible winter of 2009-2010!! I got notes from those days!

Enjoy that snow!!

Thus far tonight, 23 degrees, sleet and ZR bands continue apace, with half inch sleet accumulations on every surface, with about three sixteenths of an inch of pure ZR ice on top of that. The friction coefficient is extremely low and I have already experienced several near-disastrous episodes tonight as I tried my best to get sleet and ice accumulation measurements. Damn shoes are so slick! Railings are ice covered and VERY slippery, really not much help at all and I am most assuredly not the young man I once was and I really have to be super careful. This ain't 1994 no more! It's the mid 2020s and I'm OLD!

That, was a true Vodka-cold Jebwalk.

How do you shovel heavy freezing rain? Well throw salt and sand at it. Try not to slip.

Wow man that's one of the best posts up in here about scifi that I have ever read!

Probably not THAT bad, but it is so damn COLD that every drop of supercooled rain WILL FREEZE, on contact.

Outright HEAVY sleet and heavy freezing rain at 23 degrees. This is BAD.

You betcha! And it will translate to your area, because you guys are much colder and farther north! No freezing rain for any of you!

HUGE SURPRISE in Central Texas at 10pm EST. 23 degrees is too cold for freezing rain. We are getting ALL sleet! ALL SLEET, NO ZR whatsoever!

Wow man super happy for you! You are gonna get annihilated! ENJOY IT TO THE FULL!

26 degrees, frz driz and N winds to 20mph. Makes it feel like 12 degrees. Hope you all are seeing snow already! We're sending lots moisture right your way!

Snowshoe cam just in case anyone cares lol https://www.snowshoemtn.com/media-room/skidder-slope-live-cam

Okay this is what took place last night into today. Last night the front hit at 730pm. Temps tumbled from 65 to 33 by 4am. We got an inch of plain rain by 230am. It's been damn COLD all day at 27/24. Winds are NNE at 20 gusting to 33. Trust me its cold enough down here. All standing water is frozen. Thus far we have been lucky with only a little frz dz. But I see a ton of Pac moisture comin for us later and temps will be in the mid 20s with even colder air on its way tonight. Can't even believe I am contending with an Extreme Cold Warning, a Winter Storm Warning, AND a fricken Ice Warning!

28/25 cloudy, NNE winds to 27mph. Thus far I have dodged the zr. Wish me continued good luck.

Ouch. We just got placed under an Ice Warning. Maybe half an inch of ice. 29/23 and windy. Brrrrrrrrr very cold for south TX.

When was the last time that happened? Maybe the frigid 1977 winter?

Just find the model output with the most snow and hug it.

That RRFS is reprehensible. If correct, absolutely beyond belief. Throw it out.

In Buda, Texas, Northerly breezes up to 37 mph have dropped temperatures 30 degrees down from our earlier highs in the mid 60s. At this rate we will be subfreezing by 7am. Rain will be freezing on every surface down here. It will then proceed to drop all day Saturday, into the teens Saturday night with persistent ZR. This storm may end as snow here Sunday. Next weekend another storm and trough will bring yet another round of rain, ZR, sleet and even snow to Austin Texas. Is this Texas or Northern Virginia?

Post your Obs in this here thread. Let's do this!
