Not sure I've seen a diamond on the models before like this, must be a 'sign'

Flipped back and forth between rain/snow/sleet several times this morning. Mostly rain now and 35.1/34.4. Eyeballing the CoCoRaHS 4" gauge, I'd say another 3/4 inch has fallen since 7 am when I melted 0.33". A degree or two likely would have produced 6+ inches here.... EDIT, about 3/4 inch or so of 'slush' still on ground at 10:45 am.

12/19 0.3 01/07 0.2 01/09 0.8 Total 1.3

Picked up almost an inch (0.8) of snow/sleet before it changed over to mostly rain with a few pingers around 7:30. Currently 33.0/32.3 at 7:50 am.

Well, let me add my massive new amount here... 12/19 0.3 01/07 0.2 Total 0.5

Update. So, had 0.07 at 7 am CoCoRaHS reading, looking like another 3/4 inch is in the 4" gauge part since and it is still coming down at a decent rate. Just IMAGINE what that would have looked like with just a touch better upper levels and even a 7 or 8 to 1 ratio.....

i'm gonna pull a Ji... I can see the backend down near Hillsville/Wytheville area. I've had back and forth mix of sleet and freezing rain. Heavy at times but never more than a coating before it flips to the liquid variety. Currently 31.6/31.0 and freezing rain. Trees are pretty lol.

Well, least 'Shoe is all snow looking at the cameras there. Road trip?

OK, OK! I'll admit it! I did it. I cut and painted two new 2x2 measuring platforms to replace the two oldest that were starting to fall apart on Thursday. Sorry. EDIT- ob, 29.9/28.7 and freezing rain with a pinger or two once in a while at 8:30 am.

Just wow...

If I superglue 20-30 sleet pellets rounded up together in a line and place them on said 'slantstick', does that count??

Welp, not good news. Temp rose overnight to almost 30 before precip moved in. A small thump of sleet, then a mix of freezing rain and a few sleet pellets now. Currently 29.5/28.3 here, that is about 3 degrees warmer than I expected/predicted. It IS slick!

27.7/18.1 here and locked in. Clouds rolled in during last hour and bumped up from 27.1/17.7 at that time. We will see what happens in a few hours... I'm expecting a -1/+3 ratio to meet at a wet bulb once precip starts to meet somewhere near 25 or 26. THEN temps should start the climb from the warm nose.

I can't remember which storm it was, but I had a like 9 low that morning and it was sleet quickly over to freezing rain by 4 pm.....

Well, least some cold air has made it into the area. Currently 17.3/13.5 after a 17.0 low.

Perfect

Congrats to Don S for the win! Also, Roger, thank you for all the work you put into this!

Clouds FINALLY 'broke' around 2 pm to a mostly clear sky here, had more sun in last 3 hours than previous 5 days combined lol! Currently 33.6/24.5 at 6 pm with mostly clear skies and a WNW wind at 6 mph.

I-81 and west takes this in a heartbeat.

Yep, I had one (pileated woodpecker) do a good bit of damage to the back deck 3 years ago. Had to replace several railing boards where he was after carpenter bee larvae. I got rid of the bees after that too! I saw the bald eagle fly over again this morning, that is three sightings in last two weeks.

DCA: -0.4 NYC: +0.2 BOS: +0.8 ORD: +1.1 ATL: -0.7 IAH: -1.1 DEN: -1.3 PHX: -1.9 SEA: +0.2

No snow here, but a couple rounds of light showers have swung thru in last hour. Currently 41.8/32.4

Happy Birthday!

Another cloudy and breezy day with a few light flurries turning to sprinkles in afternoon here. Little temp swing, high 39.7, low 32.0. Currently 32.4/25.4 and, well cloudy.
