Of all the weather events that could over perform, Old man Winter chooses this today, LOL

Hey maybe our high impact rainfall will impact you in ways you cant anticipate yet, ok!?

Im way too lazy to look, but was it supposed to be that cold this morning? Was quite the slap in the face at 5 am.

I had frozen doors again this morning, like the fourth time this winter, which also reminds me of winters in the 80s.  How great is keyless entry, frozen locks back in th day were the worst!

I wasnt kidding last month about the wd 40 torch, it works wonders lol

Was kinda shocked at how much snow was still left this morning (relative to when we switched to sleet and then rain)...we only got to 36 last night so everything froze solid. Had to send the kids into the one car door i could open so they could push from the inside lol.

I didn’t feel the earthquake out here, how about our more eastern friends?

Im pretty sure my daughter felt it, she woke up immediately after the reports...i was awake and didnt feel anything.

We barely avoided a disaster down here even. Roads had some decent ice this morning.

Got a nice but brief view of the partial eclipse this morning. You could really see a chunk of the Moon getting blotted out just as it was setting.

That was just Robs bulbous bald head, not the moon, dude.

I was telling some of my other weather friends that my New Year's resolution was to only call models by their actual names and not by their parent agencies or places of origin (like the "Euro" is officially the Integrated Forecast System, the UKMET is the Unified Model, the JMA is the Global Spectral Model, the Australian is the ACCESS, etc). It lasted about six hours before I realized how pretentious the whole idea was.

But if you can work that pretentiousness in this forum, with a big side order of being wrong constantly, youll fit right in!

learn something new everyday ,,,I knew the CMC was the Canadian but was clueless that it was also GGEM,maybe someone else didn't know either,,,,thanks Julian

You know its the canadian model by the way it apologizes to you for not providing snow, with a big plate of poutine. 

The freezing drizzle before the snow made the trees look incredible, love these types of snow events. That layer of ice underneath everything has made walking an interesting adventure though lol

My car is so frozen shut I can't even get in through the trunk and crawl into the front. I'm so bummed because it's parked at the edge of the driveway and when the plow comes by it's either gonna get clipped or at least damaged  I called a tow company I know and they won't even try to put it on a flatbed because it's in gear with the e-brake pulled and they won't take the chance at damaging it. 

Go buy a cheap handle of vodka and throw it on the car.

Snow maps are dumb. Check this awesomeness out instead. Somebody picks up a foot if this verifies.

Pretty sure you used ms paint to draw that .9 near your house. I call shenanigans.

Only got to 4 here this morning. Opened the front door and heard the sound of NYSDOT winging back the snow on with 84, 416, or 211, I love it when they stilll have to plow in spots days after the last snowfall. Real winter. 

Yeah 5 here. Winds never died down either.

Had attempted measurements earlier (have to ask my wife the rest of the day)...but its damn near impossible.
