I'll take option one please.

Wow. Had a 54 mph gust a while ago, also had some graupel/sleet/rain about an hour ago. I staked down two 7 ft artificial Christmas trees when I put them up Tuesday, both are on the ground with the stakes pulled out on one side. I'll try again tomorrow, not fighting the wind while trying to redo. Temp down to 38.8/28.7.

0.77" here. Wild day/night. Was stuck near 40 all day with light rain and drizzle, then around midnight temp started to climb to a high of 51.6 around 3 am with a strong squall like storm with 35 mph winds and heavy rain. temp dropping again, now 43.4/34.7 at 7:45 am.

Stopped drizzling and temp climbed to 41.8/40.3.

Light rain and drizzle during past 5 hours or so, temp locked between 39-40. Currently 39.4/38.8.

CPC's most recent 8-14 pushed the warmth a bit more to the west, the normal to first 'warm' now runs thru central VA NW up to Michigan. One or two more pushes west would be appreciated!

41.1/37.5 and raining here in the last hour or so.

LOL, the NC/VA state line getting 200-300% of yearly snowfall.

43.0/32.2 at 1 pm here. Clouds moved in by 9:30 am and locked temps in, NWS has already cut highs down 4 degrees to 48 from the 7 am forecast and that might still be too high. ESE winds at 6 mph.

That 50.6 looks like the high, been a S L O W decent since then, currently 45.3/31.8 at 5:10 pm. Took care of all the snow OTG except for made piles.

Hit 50.6 degrees briefly about noon here, first time above 50 since 11/27. Was a high haze/cloud cover, now lowered clouds, looks like rain soon? although with an 21 degree DP it'll be virga. Temp down to 47.8 degrees at 1:30 pm.

After dropping back into the mid 20's early last evening I played a yo-yo game on temps with a small steady climb. It seemed quite dependent on the cloud cover overhead too. 33.5 at 7 am here with mostly cloudy skies and an absolutely stunning red/pink sky to the east as dawn broke.

Clouded over and temp and DP immediately went up, now 29.0/16.7 at 9 pm.

Went from 38 at 4 pm to 28 at 5:15 as the sun slipped behind the mountain this afternoon. Currently 26.4/12.0 at 8 pm.

Just broke over 32 degrees at 10:30 am. That is a bit over 56 hours below freezing, 42 hours under 20 and 11 hours below 10 degrees. Not a bad run before hitting the winter solstice.

Fell to 15.6 just after midnight, then a very slow climb to 17.5 at 7 am CoCoRaHS report, 11 degrees warmer than yesterday.

Looks like I may have leveled off, running between 15.9 and 16.2 last hour. Currently 16.1/11.8 at 11:45 pm. Also have picked up a bit of cloud cover, at least partly cloudy.

I didn't start keeping records until 1979, but 12/89 was awesome here. -10.8 and 17.1 inches of snow with 25 days of snow OTG!

16.2/11.7 at 10:30, still a slow drop.

Although I'd prefer for this pattern to stick around, I have zero complaints for the first half of this month. Running a -8 on temps, had 11.1 inches of snow and measurable snow OTG for 9 days and a T for three more.

Definitely has slowed down the fall, currently 18.3/11.9 at 9 pm here.

IDK why NWS has decided to play the game with storm reports. Our last snow I sent THREE reports (a 0.5 at 7 am, a 3.3 at 1 pm and a 5.1 at 7 pm) during the storm with storm totals as it added up over an 18 hour period. NOT ONE made the storm report list or the semi-final that they issued about an hour after my third report was sent in. I sent a message thru the spotter network asking was I on 'ban' for some reason? Their answer was, 'well, you know, things get hectic when we have snow'. Yes, I'm sure it does, but not enough to ignore/miss THREE reports from the same location. Magically my last report showed up about 10 minutes later.

19.7/12.2 at 7:45 pm after a 28.9 high. Forecast is an 18 low? Someone better tell the atmosphere to hit the brakes.

I didn't bottom out until 4:28 am at 5.8, up to 6.5 at 7 am CoCoRaHS report and now 7.9/1.8 at 8:50 am.

5.8 degrees for the low, new record for the date (1989 10 degrees). Least the winds are down into the 5-15 mph range this morning.
