Is there a 'person of retirement age' spot to post in the medium-long range discussion? Unless the SS increases dramatically, I won't make that level.

A whole year's salary??

WOW. I'm with @psuhoffman on this one, someone needs to go with @dailylurker on a LES Tug Hill event and get a healthy snow fix, stat.

Made me go look. A LIGHT snow is falling here. It'll have to pick up the pace to amount to anything, but still nice to see falling. 32.0/29.8

Hey, don't get too upset, I got 0.3 out of it.

If you want to count 0.3" as anything, yes, lol.

You know better than that, it'll be 0.2"!

11/11 0.1 11/30 0.1 12/02 0.2 (sleet) 12/05 3.8 12/06 1.5 12/08 0.5 12/09 5.1 01/17 0.1 01/25 4.5 (mix of snow and sleet) 01/26 2.8 (95-97% sleet) 02/04 0.3 Total 19.0

A VERY light snow was falling at 7 am this morning with quite foggy conditions. I had a massive 0.3" on the board and open areas (driveway/sidewalks), but 0.5" on the old snow? Anyway, stuck with the board. Trees are pretty with the snow hanging on them. It was 31.5/29.6 at 7 am, now 31.8/30.0 at 8:30 am with just some fog.

I was a mix for almost 2 hours at 33 degrees!! Flakes are twice the size they were 20 minutes ago. Maybe we actually get something??

The mix has gone over to all snow here, just starting to stick/accumulate. 32.2/29.5.

33.4/29.6 with a drizzle/flurry mix falling at 7 pm here.

Yep. Some of my favorite winters 79/80, 81/82, 86/87, 95/96, 09/10, 10/11, 13/14 and 24/25. Why? Because they ALL had a minimum of 30 days of at least an inch OTG at 7 am. Not all of them were the most snowfall of my years, but with some cold the snow hung around the most.

So finally creeped just above freezing yesterday with a 33.0 high first time in 10 days. Was above 32 for about an hour. With only 10 mph winds it felt like 60 lol. MUCH warmer overnight, never went below 20 degrees here, that also is a first in about 10 days.

Second day in a row of setting a 'cool max'. High was 21.2 degrees; old mark was 23.0 degrees from 1980. Low was 7.9 degrees, which is current temp. Still 4.5" of concrete OTG with a SWE of 1.65".

My numbers for the month of January 2026 Averaged high was 39.8 degrees vs a normal of 42.0 degrees, -2.2 degrees below average. The warmest temp was 60.5 degrees on the 12th. Averaged low was 19.4 degrees vs a normal of 22.4 degrees, -3.0 degrees below average. The coldest temp recoded was 1.8 degrees on the 27th and 28th. Overall averaged temp was 29.6 degrees vs a normal of 32.2 degrees, -2.6 degrees below average. Total precip for the month was 2.84 inches vs a normal of 2.94 inches, a -0.10 inches below average. The wettest day was the 25th with 1.05 inches. There were 7 days with measurable, 7 days with a 'T' and 17 dry days. Total snowfall for the month was 7.4 inches vs a normal of 5.8 inches, a +1.6 inches above average. The snowiest day was the 25th with 4.5 inches falling. There were 3 days with measurable, 9 days with a 'T' and 19 snowless days. There were 7 days with SOTG at 7 am. Highest wind recorded was 42 mph on the 12th. There were 21 days with winds above 25 mph. Two new records for the month a new 'cool max' on the 27th and a new snowfall record on the 25th. Overall a cold and very windy month with close to average precip and snow. A strange feature of the month was the number of days with either a warmer 'night' than day or a colder 'day' than night, in total that happened 14 times.

By Wednesday it'll settle right over Myrtle Beach, all the chasers can just stay there and enjoy a small chilly vacation lol.

Title is LOL.

A good start to the new month with a new record 'cool max' of 22.7 degrees, beating 2019's 25.3 degrees. Low was 9.5 degrees right at the 7 am CoCoRaHS report. Wind was WNW at 9 gutsing to 20 mph, WC of -3 to -9 degrees. After we cleared out around midnight last night that nearly full moon made it look like 4-5 pm in afternoon it was so bright shining off the glacier. Had some flurries yesterday evening, but no new accumulation, that all went @Bob Chill and @Buddy1987's way and further south.

Feb- DCA: -3.4 NYC: -3.1 BOS: -2.8 ORD: -1.9 ATL: -0.9 IAH: -0.4 DEN: +1.7 PHX: +2.4 SEA: +2.1

Finally getting a few flakes here, started a little before 5 am. Least it won't be a goose egg at 7 am report time. Currently light snow and 12.9/5.5.

At midnight 16.0/7.1. NE wind 5 gusting to 11 mph. High was 28.3, we seemed to hit a spot between 1-3 pm where the clouds went to just high cirrus and winds calmed and we warmed up. Actually not a bad early afternoon. Still haven't seen a snowflake, although just 40 miles south Roanoke has reported a few hours of light snow.

I think the state record is -37, lets shoot for that.

Yep, what was simply wonderful was the 3-4 hour period midafternoon where we were almost calm on the winds.

11.1 degrees here at 7 am. Temp dropped to about 10 degrees then locked once the clouds rolled in about midnight.
