It's been flurrying here since about 9pm and it's still snowing now. It was at or above 32 until a few hours ago so everything is coated but nothing significant.
edit: I forgot to add that it's been stuck at 30° for a few hours so that insignificant coating is pretty crunchy.
Yup 700 here too but the roads were slushy in Brewster at ~400' around 7:30. I84 was wet from Waterbury to the west side of Danbury when it got grainy.
Hardcore back-loaded winter? Maybe, but I'm not feeling it right now. It seems to me that you'd need some real cold somewhere to be able to generate enough to do us any good down here and there isn't much to draw from and build on.
I've been saying pretty much the same thing about the PNW for decades. Constant rainforest type wetness is miserable but we get more rainfall annually than they do particularly here in the reservoir zone 45 miles from the Sound. For the last 7 months it's been equally as soggy plus we've had the torrential rains that they rarely get adding another ~25" of total precip making it doubly unpleasant. We also use an inordinate amount of road salt which ruins our cars...
Quite the range of temps here this morning. It's 15 up here and as low as 6 at a low spot a few miles away. Average looks to be about 12 with KDXR 12 miles away at 9°.
Back into the 1700s there are pretty detailed notes available from many E Coast cities and many agricultural areas too. Someone will post something and I end up going down a two hour rabbit hole but never remember to bookmark the sites
Looks like it's 15° up here on the hill now, got down to 8° early this morning. The town highway dept garage a mile away and 250 feet lower only got down to 10 but is 13.5 now.
