Birds~69

Glad to hear, outstanding!

Its not just the below average temperatures which are/were good for December. But we had snow/lingering snow during the holidays with Christmas lights on which continued in little small burst. A quick small warm up than a cold blast to close out the year is fitting....

Wow! I've been conservative and knew it has been colder than normal. But then, even if we go back to averages it'll feel like a heatwave. Currently, people are in their basements crunching official numbers as I type...holidays or not they are crunching official Dec temp numbers. Dedicated individuals indeed. I'll be happy with a couple flakes this afternoon. 32F, cloudy, cold with snow piles around and the Birds play soon, all good in my book...

32F/DP 26F

Waiting to see once ChescoWx crunches the numbers for December. Thinking negative -2 to -3 below normal. As far as bowling alley incidents, check out Allen Iverson's past and possible years in jail which almost cost him the NBA...

Getting screwed is a possibility in our area at all times. Just check radar and check surrounding stations is all we have. Any sort of virga sucks and should be illegal say only weenies....

No nap required either...

Some mixed crap during the Birds game would be icing on the cake to this already wintry scenery/night holiday outdoor light season. Lazy people are missing a nice stroll at night with Christmas lights on....

Spotty but yeah. Feels like a winter day. 31F, overcast, snow piles around and it just looks like something's going to fall from the sky...

Bowling was always great when you're underage because it was BYOB. And they usually didn't check if you look close to 21. Add a wide open parking lot, snow, RWD 19 60/70s V8 muscle cars teenagers equals donuts. Movie/Mall parking lots were good as well...

As fun as that sounds my initial reaction this morning was I wished I had a early 1970s boat LTD (RWD) w/a V8 429cubic inch, empty/clear parking lot and/a handle of spiked Eggnog.....fun morning indeed. 31F/partly cloudy/sunny

There you have it. For me it ranks right up there with the 83 blizzard and the 96 blizzard even though it wasn't a blizzard. Waking up the next morning with the ice glazing off the trees.TONS of ice, door locks frozen, everything frozen and this shit lasted for a while. Top three weather events in my life...

Nope. But I think I know what you're talking about. This event was historic and happened in the 90s. Heavy freezing rain with temps in the low 20s all night. The road accumulated inches of ice which lasted for several weeks.... took forever to melt. The roads formed several inch deep "groves" where if your tire became stuck in that groove you were screwed. Wherever that groove ended your car ended. (tree, curb?) You couldn't steer out of it. Completely nuts. Completely screwed my suspension. RedSky knows all about this event and probably can provide a date..

The cold, damp and rainy/misty crap along with any breeze goes right through your bones...

No where near (or same universe) as the slot car ice event. Will never see that again in my lifetime... 28F/FZR

You know what would be fun? If the roads froze up and then it switched back to snow. Snow on ice is very entertaining and challenging...really good stuff! 26F/FZR

Actually you shouldn't be too bad. They keep 309 well salted if that is what you're taking. Overall stay on main roads... 27F/FZR

Telford or home?

This is where freezing rain is dangerous when temps are still in the mid 20s or so and sun setting. Same thing going on here. Waiting to hear a transformer zap/pop and my lights blink/go out. Big fan of power outages! 27F/FZR

Sleet has joined the party... 28F

28F/Light snow

Screw models at this point. Follow radar trends, look out the window. It's real/now time...
