I think since living up here I have only had a couple of days where I stayed below 0F all day. Just below, nothing like 1933. My record low is -19.5F with that brief brutal arctic blast a few years ago.

23.1F Light snow. Fluff job. 2"ish

25.8F Moderate snow. About 2" or a little more with this event. My birch trees, although ice free are still bent.

31. 8F Light snow. After this morning's ice storm we reached a high of 32.8F We are now falling back with increasing wind. This dusting of snow is actually good because at this temperature it is adhering to the black ice making the surfaces slightly less slippery. Power is back after about 10 hours. Let's see if it holds up with the increasing wind.

32.2F No power for 6 hours. Our whole hill is out. This has turned into a significant event here. There has been almost no melt off on trees or power lines today. Untreated surfaces that were not treated are an ice skating rink. Yesterday I wanted to put a big blue tarp over the part of the driveway we use but "someone" ha, in my family said that would look stupid and I'm overreacting. The biggest problem is yet to come. Maybe a very brief warmup with fropa mixing but with the wind and the trees this is going to cause more power issues. Plus, the glaciated surfaces are not going anywhere fast!

32.2F here also. I did briefly get up to 32.5F We have to get this ice off the trees and surfaces before this evening or we are screwed.

32.2F No power, trees bending, road is a sheet of ice. Thankfully we have a wood burning stove and I filled up lots of pots for water last night. Jackery power station works great for fridge, some lights and to plug in fiber internet. Let's see how warm we can get before fropa later!

31.7F ZR. Our road is a sheet of ice a definite Birch Bender still have power

...yesterday we got a notice from our 3-man highway department. The town has 2 sanding trucks. One broke down yesterday so the notice said to expect major delays in road treatment. Our plow is fine but you know my location. Only one steep way up and down. Wish me luck. I hope we can get above freezing for a few hours before the wind and cold come roaring back. Looks like we will have a glacier type landscape for awhile. Speare hospital, get ready. Lots of incoming slips and slides this week.

You don't! Still nightmares from 1998!

Thank you, Brian, for your optimism. I hope you are right! 28.7/13

I just noticed that the NWS upgraded my area to a Winter Storm Warning. I know Dendy was not overly impressed yesterday and Tip for several reasons was not impressed earlier. It is currently 34/14F. Any changes in thoughts or basically just some slippery roads and some glazing but not enough for power concerns etc.

I just saw this right after I made my post. Would all these negative factors apply for us up here too?

Tip, yesterday, Dandy was also not very impressed for even up here. What am I missing? 1.25" of liquid, temperatures in the mid to upper 20s rising to around 32F tomorrow afternoon. Longer precipitation time up here too. Weather bell clown ice maps show .75 to 1.00" of ice. Even if that is 50% overdone, this seems like a big deal up here????

We got slammed in 1998 and I think in 2008. Lake level down below is 590 feet. I'm at 1100 but only a dirt road one way up here in winter. Our town only has 1000 people and the highway dept just sent out a notice that our sander broke but the plow truck is fine. That won't help me.
