  1. Well, there's 0.1, T and the good 'ol goose egg, so there IS that chance...
  2. Tied the record low for the date from 1986, 16.0 degrees. Currently 19.5/15.8 with some high cirrus in the sky.
  3. Just glanced at Cannan, they have a legit shot at zero, currently 2 degrees and falling. EDIT- nope, they turned the corner and heading up, 2 degrees will be the low.
  4. We rolling out this way, winds went calm around 5 am and temp has dropped like a rock. At 7 am it was 16.8 degrees, DP 9.0 and that sets a new record for the date, breaking the 17 degree reading from 1981. Temp is STILL dropping and currently at 7:45 am it is 16.6 degrees. Likely a new record for tomorrow. BTW, at 5 am it was 22.1 degrees. EDIT-just realized that I DID break the 'cool max' for the date too, 35.6 degrees was high, old mark was 36 degrees from 1981. Had it backwards there for a minute lol.
  5. It is 35.0/7.2 here at 3 pm. Wind still NW at 6 gusting 13, so WC running 30/26. It was chilly this morning when I did a 3 mile walk, 20.7/3.8 with NW winds 11 gusting 23 at 8 am. WC's were around 5-9 degrees.
  6. LOL, another penny! 12/16 0.2 12/22 0.1 12/24 0.1 12/28 0.1 01/09 0.2 02/02 0.4 03/12 1.0 03/14 0.1 Total 2.2
  7. Just barely broke freezing here, 32.5 for a high with flurries whipping by in the breeze all day. Never any accumulation today, but did pick up a penny (0.1) with 7 am observation this morning. Winds have been gusty all day, 30-35 mph, did have a 39 mph gust right at 2 pm. Currently 30.1/19.0.
  8. Just had an interesting 'sleet squall' roll thru here. It was sleet, NOT graupel. Just enough to start to whiten things then it stopped. Currently 37.7/26.9. Winds picking up too, NW at 7 gusting 22.
  9. Just thinking off my the top of my head... it takes a REALLY warm Feb and a chilly March, so 1984 and 2017 come to mind.
  10. 12/16 0.2 12/22 0.1 12/24 0.1 12/28 0.1 01/09 0.2 02/02 0.4 03/12 1.0 Total 2.1
  11. More sleet than snow here now, but hit 1.0 inch before that started, first inch of the season, quite a wait!!
  12. Oh... I'd say be prepared for it and thru April as a payback of sorts for the incredibly mild/warm winter. Everything evens out in the end you know.
  13. So for the date I had a 39.1 degree 'low' at 4:56 pm after falling all day in mist/drizzle and light rain and a stiff E to NE breeze. THEN I had a 'high' at 4:03 am of 53.5 degrees after temps rose all night. Crazy day. Currently 39.7/30.0 and cloudy here with a WNW wind 9 gusting to 27 at 8 am. Highest wind was 35 mph at 4:14 am from W.
