What a lovely day of tracking foul weather with you lot. Here's hoping for many more opportunities to do the same before spring!

Looks like all ZR here, too. Now with a little bit of wind mixing in.

After a lull, I'm hearing the sleet picking up again.

Pingers here. Temp back up to 30.

Temps peaked at around 30 here but now it's back down to 28 or so. Snowing steadily again, roads were clear but now are covered again.

Looks like it's stopped here. Sky is considerably brighter.

That makes sense. Guess I'm just used to our usual, borderline 32° snow-to-rain events. This is a nice change from that.

Roads don't look to have been treated too well. I think they brined too soon? (saw the brining on the roads on Thursday) I mean, I know it didn't wash off but still. Picture outside my office looking down at a fairly major 2-lane road:

Untreated surfaces covered. Didn't take long. Small flakes. Temp 26°F and dewpoint 7°F, nice to have snow with temps well below freezing and low dewpoints.

Dark band right over me and few few flakes making it to the ground.

Sky looks menacingly dark to the west. Doesn't have that "snow sky" look to it; more like a spring-time storm front.

Wasn't WXSIM calling for upwards of 12" several days ago? What is it's track record regarding forecasts? Seems foolhardy to me to give it any credence if it's that far off only a few days in advance. Not trolling, asking honestly. Obviously we all want more snow and we all want the medium- to long-range forecasts to be more accurate, but that seems kind of ridiculous to me.

25.5°F and 43% RH about 15 miles north of Avondale, give or take. I'm also at about 450' ASL. When I moved back here in '09 with my SoCal-raised wife, I told her that this is the type of winter we usually had growing up, and then we got hit with the epic '09 and '10 winters, so she didn't believe me. But now that we've had more than a few years of mediocre winters in a row, she gets it. She got hooked on lots of snow during those years and now we ultimately want to move somewhere more north. Somewhere with a real, consistent winter. NFL sounds nice.

So it's looking like we'll stay well below freezing for this entire event? Nice.

64°F and 82% humidity at midnight. I wonder if that line of storms will make it here.

I remember there was a massive, pitched snowball battle on main campus. I also remember all the cars being completely buried. It was epic.

Same. 35.6°F here.

Had some brief flurries here, too. Super nice to wake up to on New Year's.

Just cold and rain here, no glazing at all. 34°F.

Drove through some super light sleet and drizzle from Thorndale to West Chester and back just now. Not much of anything happening... yet? I dunno, NWS backed off our snow total potentials from 2" to <1". I will say, however, regardless of how this all shakes out, that I'm super glad to be having wintry weather at least.

It's currently 5°F warmer than the IMBY forecast from weather.com, wunderground and accuweather. MOS forecast is only a degree cooler with temps never approaching zero today/tomorrow. It was supposed to have been snowing for several hours by now already, but there's pretty much nothing on radar north of the Mason Dixon line. I'd say this forecast is a bust for us.

The wife and her friends were planning on attending an event at Mt. Hope tomorrow night. I told her she's gonna have to play it by ear. I don't want here going anywhere near the turnpike in icy conditions. Looks like it'll be a now-casting event...

Rooting for the Eagles is like Yay! Oh. Yay! Oh. Oh. Oh... Yay? For instance, see last week's Giant's game. They almost lost to a 2 and 10 team ffs.

40°F and nothing. Roads are almost completely dry from a little drizzle we had earlier. At least this was an interesting start to our winter weather. Glad some other board members are making out ok at least. I'll live vicariously through you all for just a little longer.

Finally cooling down. Kinda creepy watching it get colder by the minute, but I guess it's the perfect night for creepy things. Now down to 55° from 74° just an hour ago.
