27 degrees here.

Sleet fest it is!

Looks like sleet and freezing rain starting here.

Patiently waiting on the precipitation to arrive. What ever it will be temp dropped to 29.

One thing for sure.. it's rawer than raw outside this afternoon.

Looks like a short window of precip.

The American Storm @BigJoeBastardi · 9h gfs around state college goes from 40 inches on its 18z run to around 6 at 00z over nest 15 days. what a piece of garbage this model has been this winter

21 this morning , got down to 18 here overnight.

Down to 22 here.

So we talking a sleet fest tomorrow?

The temp went up to 39 overnight, now it went back down. And that wind awhile ago was gusty. I had a gust to 37.

Maybe it will reappear.

Whats the feelings on tomorrows mess? Will there be a little more snow or more sleet and freezing rain?

About half inch of sleet here with freezing rain now. temp 31

Even though the last few days got up to the mid to upper 40's. Last evening close to 5:30 my temp was 36 and the ground was already starting to refreeze. So at least here that ground is still very cold. Got down to 23 overnight here, but was rising overnight till this morning.

Wxrisk.com nrdepStoos0859th19g4u372u601i02gu55hlaa9a6cu0fi1cc72c4fchic0 · WATCH OUT FOR FEB 11-12 in the Ohio valley/ Middle Atlantic/ southern New England

I think you just called it!

By Wednesday evening, broad southeast flow in the wake of retreating high pressure will keep cold air locked in east of the mountains as a warm nose of overrunning precipitation overspreads the region. The aforementioned band of snow will gradually lift northeast ahead of a broad area of low pressure moving in from the Ohio Valley with a transition to sleet and eventually freezing rain during the overnight hours. Model soundings have indicated that the layer of cold air at the surface could be a little bit deeper than previous runs, indicating potential for a longer period of sleet overnight before an inevitable transition to freezing rain. QPF amounts are generally 0.25-0.5" along and north of I-80, >0.75" in the Laurels, and 0.5-0.75" east of I-99 and south of I-80. Temperatures are progged to rebound considerably Thursday afternoon, though temperatures soaring into the 50s appears less and less likely as the event draws closer. It is difficult to scour out the cold air after these events, so trending below guidance seems prudent. Even still, highs in the 40s areawide should help most, if not all, of the ice melt during the afternoon and evening before cooler air filters in from the north as another cold front moves in. -- End Changed Discussion --

Bring it on and hope they cripple the region with heavy wet snow.

This is a different kind of winter as compared to maybe the previous 5 . It wouldn't take much to make this an epic 2nd half of winter. A good snowstorm, a good icestorm and near record cold.
