katabatic

Hi temp here was 11.8 (currently 7.9) with very light snow this afternoon. Maybe 1/2" but seems to have tapered off now. For the first time in many days, the wind has subsided and is rather pleasant to take a walk outside and get out of the house.

Temp is 12 and our next round of snow has begun. Nice to hopefully add a few more inches to our tally. Wind chill this morning was as low as -28 so I am absolutely loving this deep winter. Now, if we can pull that weekend storm west, that would put the exclamation point on this beautiful stretch of winter.

It's been snowing steadily all day long. True, it's fluff but still beautiful and accumulating. I find it amazing they got 19" just a few miles north of me (I recorded 8.5", mostly sleet). Wisp slopes are now in the best shape by far in my 4 winters here. Anyone thinking of coming to Wisp or Timberline to ski or tube, this is the time to do it.

I've never had to dig out with a pick ax before, but the colossal amount of sleet demanded it. Hard to believe that Wisp recorded 19" and about 10 miles south, and at about the same elevation, I recorded a third of that. Began the day at 27.9 and it's now 7 degrees. Regardless of accumulation, it's about as deep of winter as I've seen around here.

What a strange storm. Still only 6 degrees with heavy sleet. I shoveled a bit and except for a tiny bit of snow underneath the sleet, it's been all ice here. I'm estimating 4" otg and the plows are keeping everything clear - even went to the gym and there were plenty of folks there, too. Hopefully we will flip back to snow as the system moves north. Regardless, this stuff will be around until April.

Damn Davis, WV reported 13.8" at 7 AM. Might have to do a little drive out that way.

It's 4.1 degrees with moderate sleet. Not a flake to be found. Guess this answers the question about the warm nose west of the Allegheny Front.

I'm not exactly sure what the hell is falling. Kinda sand like with a few "real" flakes mixed in. Winds are screaming out of the SE with a temp of 4. Maybe 2.5" so far eyeballing it.

Excellent! You and @nj2va have several hundred feet on me but it's close for mby. Thanks for the update! DP is 'up' to -5.9 so we're getting there. Ice box cold at 6.4.

Still bone dry here in MLP 6.4 / -6.7. Like a few others in these parts, we're hugging the HRRR and the show can start any time.

After a morning low of -5, I've warmed up to 7. My guess is when the snow starts, at least the mulch will cave.

Stage is set! Arctic air - check. Sitting at -4.7

I'm hoping you're expertise is spot on because I think I'm going to flip for a while as the primary knocks on my door (I'm in Oakland, MD, west of the Allegheny Front). This is my 4th winter and the first time people have panicked shopped - the Oakland Wal-Mart is sold out of quite a bit of fresh/frozen foods. We get 10-11 inch snowfalls (what the NWS has as our forecast) on a fairly regular basis so I guess the hype is simply contagious. Other than the hype, for us, this storm is honestly nbd.

And there is a lot of it! Hi this morning was 28 and it's now 11 imby (was 18 around 5:30).

@nj2va wonder how much upslope we'll receive after the storm passes north of our latitude? Unfortunately Erie is almost completely frozen over now (went from less than 10% a week ago to about 90% now, a record for the rapid onset of ice). OTOH, it's very new ice, so it'll be thin and allow some moisture to get through.
