I'll have some of what p05 and p22 are smoking please...

I can understand the angst in the LR model forum, I mean, we ARE running +17 to +20 through the area in prime winter season, if we were -17 to -20 the first 4 days of June with a possible warm streak swiped away on a model and back to rain and 50's it would be the same.

A giant 0.01 here

^^ I would be in favor of the above happening ^^

I have freezing fog this morning, 28.8/27.5 currently, visibility under 0.2 mile. Deck was quite slick when I walked out!

Well that didn't last long. After peaking at 55.4 at 3:17 pm down to 40.0 currently..... Edit, now 39.4 2 minutes later.

Something happened a bit ago that hadn't since the 9th of this month, thermometer went over 50! Currently 55.3 degrees at 3 pm.

Yep, the chemicals reacting to the warmer air on the colder road, basically sweating....

This has happened in the past but a legit question. This morning when I got off work it was foggy/hazy looking. As I drove home I noticed....SNOW!! Yes, it was snowing from an almost clear sky. Now I have a pretty good idea what it was living here for over 50 years. Papermill snow. It is/was only 2nd time I've seen it at my current location, but when I lived closer to town (and mill) when growing up it would happen 3 or 4 times a year when it got cold enough. I reported nothing in my CoCoRaHS report and emailed them asking what I should do. But, what would YOU do? It IS falling from the sky, it does cover the ground and fill the gauge.... BTW, when I looked at the 'night satellite' images between 6 and 8 this morning there was a nice 'streamer' going thru the county and right over the house.

Yep, I love cold, but not wind. I'll take a calm -25 low -5 high day over a blustery +10 low 28 high day anytime.

Oak and ash here. A bit of cherry and locust too.

Currently 10.8/5.0 here with a 5 mph breeze making it feel like 3. Least that is above zero lol. Low of -1 NOT a record but does slide into 3rd place behind 1983's -9 degrees and 1989's -6 degrees. High was 16.4 degrees, which goes into 2nd place, behind 1983's 10 degrees, but ahead of 1989's 22 degrees. Merry Christmas all!

I just tossed another log or two on the fire, 71 up, 79 downstairs.

Well, well, well! What a nice surprise... some light flurries blowing out there making for a more joyful night. It won't amount to much, but just seeing the flakes flying in the air on Christmas Eve is wonderful. Currently 15.5 degrees with still a 10-20 mph breeze. Merry Christmas everyone!

OUCH! Hope it returns soon!

You do an awesome job and I appreciate the time you put into this Roger!

Guess it's going be another penny and dime year.... 12/16 0.2 12/22 0.1 12/24 0.1 12/28 0.1 Total 0.5

BTW that places it in 3rd spot for coldest for the date, sliding in front of 2000's 1 degree but behind 1983's -3 and 1989's -8 readings.
