30/20 with very light drizzle...was freezing on the windows/surface of the lone car I left out in the driveway, so just pulled it in the garage.

Wow...that DP. We're at 37/17...and DP has been falling here, too, all afternoon.

Currently 37/17...winds between 10-12 mph for past half hour. Thick overcast, although radar doesn't have anything near KMYR yet.

Currently 41 degrees w/ 23 DP, heavy overcast w/ general 5-10 mph winds...here at the far southern point of City of Myrtle Beach, just shy of Surfside.

This could cause some potential cliff-jumping to happen in the MA forum...already is, from the look of it. I get it, I just moved from there after going through God-knows-how-many rug pulls over the past three decades. Of course, the dire model-based predictions of a couple feet of snow earlier in the week in NoVA have been reduced to MAYBE (and it's a reach) 9-12" with a lot of mixing coming tomorrow afternoon. But that's just MA climo. For my part, I'm done with rug pulls...Horry County historically seems to have just the right amount of winter wx I want to deal with the rest of my life, which is little to none at all. However, I remain sensitive to NC/SC folks who still want some winter wx, and I'll always root for y'all. The panic-inducing headlines from print/broadcast media have been over the top since Monday of this past week. Complicating that, is the overabundance of model-hugging, dime-a-dozen hobbyist weather nerds out on Facebook, X and other platforms, who predict "winter Armageddon" based on clown maps or every other model run. Our NoVA friends sent us video of Costco and Walmart locations being CLEANED OUT of so many items on their shelves. I mean...c'mon, folks. All of that is the primary reason I've tuned/blocked all of that noise out, and just come here to AmWx to lurk and learn.

Dude, I get and understand your dread. I've always felt like folks who root for the better part of an inch of ice on every coated surface hasn't actually lived through that...or its consequences. (I have, in both PA and VA over the past several decades and while ice is pretty, it's absolutely destructive.) I would be very interested to hear your live obs throughout the storm, either here or in an obs thread or a banter thread...and I'll pray for y'all up there. Ice SUCKS.

Thought my Midland weather radio was crapping out on me today, but no....we're just not getting signal here in northeastern SC. That seems quite problematic to me, given that we're 3-4 days out from a major (some would say "historic") winter storm...

Good to continue to read you here in the SE forum, after reading you in the MA forum. I know you moved a few years back to OBX...we've since moved to KMYR. Even more interesting tracking from this far south. Yeah. The MA forum is REALLY good at that freaking-out thing. Don't miss that, although there were several really good analysts up that way. To be fair, the DMV was often in the screw zone, but FFS c'mon, folks...understand your climo.

Currently 48...down from a high of 65 around 11 a.m. this morning. Winds then picked up right when the grey/black started to form in the N/W of this pic, they've stayed steady 10-20 mph, and temps have been gradually tumbling downward all afternoon. We'll see if the forecasted low of 21 degrees and the cold wx advisory verify here shortly...

Happy for you N/W folks! Also, happy that we have a variety of outdoor camera brands that now provide this kind of on-the-spot coverage...

Breathtaking pics!! TY for sharing!

Just migrated (digitally and physically) from the AmWx MidAtlantic forum and region, have been an AmWx member for 15 years...and these are some of the finest pics I've seen on AmWx ever. TY for sharing, and keep 'em coming. Obs-wise, was almost balmy in low 50s but windy last night before bed...still breezy at 42, guessing that cold front is still trucking through.

I'll be honest...we moved here from NoVA about a month ago, and did NOT anticipate these kinds of temps this soon in the season in MB. But, totally worth being/living here...and we're also glad to be close to your location and others in the GA/SC lowcountry, our favorite region to visit on the entire East Coast.

Got down to 29 again last evening in Myrtle Beach...and a 2nd morning of HEAVY frost, almost like snow! But temps rebounding nicely today compared to yesterday...we're up to 50 now with full sun and clear conditions.

To your point, LWX has suddenly and retroactively changed their tune (though not necessarily in the PM disco update): I appreciate your observation...and honestly, your personal inputs here over the years. And please believe, I defend your profession more than you know....I only approach this from a hobbyist standpoint, but twice already this afternoon, I've had two neighbors ping me -- "yo, man...IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO RAIN THIS AFTERNOON, WTF??" I got nuthin. Who knows...maybe we may have a microclimate thing going on here? This is anecdotal, but I'd say we've had exactly this kind of "blow-up" very localized shower/storm over the Hayfield/Kingstowne/Franconia area several times over the past two years, where almost no other locales in the close-in-NoVA burbs had nothing. And it's like it blows up...and rains/storms like hell...and then dissipates very quickly. That happened this afternoon, and at least a few times over the past two years. I (along with a couple neighbors) were astounded when the sky opened up about two hours ago. It didn't even LOOK that showery/stormy if you looked to the west/NW (unless you looked at radar) but boy-howdy...did we get a good gully-washer for about an hour.
