MUCH warmer this morning at 14.7 degrees vs the 1.8 yesterday. Mainly because we clouded over after dark last night (along with some flurries) and the wind. Had a 41 mph gust. The 1.8 that carried into next day until about 8 am NOT a record, that still stands from 1987 at -4. Currently 22.0/8.2 with W 5 gusting to 12 mph winds under partly cloudy skies. WC 16 to 10 degrees.

Is one of them the return of 'new'? -
LOL, that isn't happening here until mid-June with all the west coast hockey playing.

I asked the same earlier. Mine was 4.3 on 0.10. Yours is even worse, or the driest snow ever. -

Wait. 4.3 of snow on 0.10 liquid??? -
Jiminy Christmas!! Just had a 5 minute 'gust' roll thru, 35-41 mph from WNW the entire 5 minutes. Where did that come from?!?! At 23.8/10 that made the wind chill 5 to 4 degrees. There is another starting... 32, 34 mph. Sheesh.

Only 7-8? I figured a '1' would be in front of those two numbers minimum.

Right at 12:30 pm I have 21.1/3.5 under VERY sunny skies, amazing how bright/reflective sun is off this stuff. W wind 11 gusting 28 so still a WC of 9 to 3 degrees. Forecast is 24, so I may run by that too before the day is over. OK with me, I still have a couple spots to 'clean up' where I shoveled yesterday.
-
I had 1.85" yesterday and 1.82" this morning. Heavy stuff! Best part is unless forecast and trend changes fast it will do a S L O W trickle into the ground instead of running off in one day into the rivers and out to sea.

The mini blizzard doesn't worry me as much as the ice chunks flying off. That depends on the consistency of the snow. Fresh dry/fluff will blow off. Crusty or old snow will break off in chunks and becomes incoming projectiles!

1.8 was as cold as I got from 5 am thru 8 am, it bobbled between 1.8-2.5 during that time. Now that sun is out and winds have turned SW? I'm at 8.8/-3.0 at 9:45 am.
