You must have gotten under a "death-flurry" band. I've just got some flakes visible on my deck furniture.

Was really pretty, but didn't amount to anything. It's bright and sunny out right now.

And just like that, it's done. Roads are fine. I mean, standing water is going to freeze up, but we had like maybe 10 minutes of spotty sleet and then I could see clear sky peaking through. Good luck and stay safe everyone else though.

Hearing pingers on my home office window.

Finally below freezing. Well, air temp, anyway. Ground's going to take a bit longer I think.

Getting colder...

It's basically stopped raining here for the moment. Have just about 2.1" for the whole event.

I had a dog grooming appointment at Petsmart that got cancelled on account of them closing early today, and a friend in Phoenixville said that her son's school has early dismissal today. So maybe?

I'm at 1.9" of rain so far. I'm going to have a legit skating rink in my back yard when the freeze hits. Currently 38°F, down from a high of 55. Look at that crash, almost 20° in ~1.5 hours!

Why can't both be correct? Feb is our best shot for winter weather. And also, Nina winters just suck for us. It's hit or miss. Heck, I have over 1.5" of rain and it's 55°F right now. Winter's over, right? Models consistently show digital snow 10 days out. But Climo! Feh. This is a good discussion though. FWIW, I also hope you're wrong, @The Iceman.

Ok, here we go. Warm front winning the battle (for now).

Probably anomalous. Wind is dead calm at the Reading Airport. Local microclimates are impacting what local readings we have. Still, I think it might be telling to see what our temps are around midnight tonight.

uh... Temp has been steady at 42-43°F since about noon, and is now starting to trend downward: That's a 2° difference from current forecast. Wind looks like it has also shifted from southerly to NE. This doesn't seem to jive with us hitting near a forecasted high of 52° by midnight. Keeping an eye on this.

Radarscope is actually tracking a cell heading towards Allentown. We're up to .7" here, and there is still plenty of moisture to come, look at the precip shield on radar! Man, if we were only 10-15°F cooler...

BTW, sometimes the threads created in the MA forum crack me up. "Feb 4 2022 Stupid Ice Threat" indeed. The sitch in N. Reading, currently:

I dunno, I've seen at least three large flocks at altitude trucking north since around Christmas. It struck me as weird, but whatever triggers their return must have happened. I'm thinking it has to be temperature down south wherever they winter over. Global weirding and all that.

There are still guardrails here and there with giant dents in them from all the trees that fell during that storm. That was wild.

Took a sick day today. Work can get along just fine without me for a day, and driving out there is nasty right now. Got 1/3 the way in and tapped out; apparently, reflective road markings haven't been in the budget for a while up here. Greasy roads + invisible lane markings + rain and heavy fog + reckless drivers + semis on the turnpike = yeah that's a big fat NOPE from me.

Well dang. I guess it really is time to fire up the genny and make sure we're fueled up just in case. This looks like it could either be nothing, or it could be very serious. At least it's an a weekend where none of us have to especially be anywhere else. (I'm off Friday)

Looks like about 1.5" here. Annoyingly, it's just enough to warrant the snow shovel--I tried blowing it off the driveway with a leaf blower but it wouldn't shift the bulk of it.

Only barely snowing out, we have maybe a dusting if I'm honest. Which was completely expected. What I do find interesting is just how alight out it is outside. I can see the entirety of my back yard, as if it were a clear sky under a full moon. That's odd because the moon is a waning crescent right now; must be all the suburban lighting being diffused and refracted by the fine snow falling here atm. I gotta say, I'm usually depressed when there's a big snow event and we end up missing out on the totals, but for whatever reason, I'm really enjoying this. Perhaps it's because it's the middle of meteo winter and there's still plenty of oppo to cash in for my region, or perhaps it just feels more normal to have legit cold weather and frozen precip rather than marginal temps and slop.

Very light snow here in reading, maybe 3/16". Oh, and they finally put us under an advisory until 3pm tomorrow, expecting 1-4".

Atmospheric turbulence bashes them to bits.

You know what? I'm getting fringed, but it's still snowing and the ground's gonna be covered. It's a little something for everyone here. Forecast calls for maybe 1.5", we'll see.

Nice link. This is the money shot:
