Perfect radiational cooling conditions right now especially in low lying areas. Currently 8 degrees

Still below 0 at 9am. Impressive.

I am about 2 miles SE of the -6 reading in Wash Co. Can confirm a -6 reading at the house this morning before leaving for work. .7 degrees shy of the record low imby of -6.7 in February 2014.

Temp has really fallen right before sunrise. 7 when I got up this morning at 530 and has fallen to 3 currently. Nose hair freezing cold!

Very similar. Just difficult to measure. Had around 6" snow and 2"-2.25" sleet. I was going to go with 8" total. Some of the worst stuff to shovel.

Didn't separate sleet from snow qpf just due to so much mixing. 1.58" total. 7" otg.

Temp back down to 13 after a high of 16. Mod sleet currently.

Just hit 2" of sleet for the day. 6.5" otg 7.5" total frozen and temp is falling. Lost 2 degrees in the past hour or so.

Just measured 1.25" sleet/pixie dust since the transition took place. Around 7" total frozen for the day. 16 with steady sleet.

Lighter returns were a mix but back to heavy snow with better rates. 5.5" 12/9

Radar is really blossoming heavier returns to the SW of this area. Should really start to crank here soon.

Measured just shy of 3". 12/8

It's perfect outside but brutal. Mod snow 13/7 Maybe a half inch so far but starting to really come down now.

Currently 1039.6mb and continuing to creep up. Pretty rare with a storm approaching especially with a high the is entrenched and not flying off the coast of Maine.

Every 7 days. That block is relentless. Sure, an op out at range but it actually is a plausible scenario based on its own LR ens. I would weenie my own post if I could.

Couldn't stay awake for the runs last night either. Needed a good night's sleep. Hopefully, we have seen the constant jumps north come to and end after the 6z gfs. The first run I have seen that actually had a slight bump south. Unless I am missing anything. Too many posts to sift through! Hoping the euro at least holds.

Nice to get a storm at the beginning of the pattern. All ens looking very Nino-like at the end of their runs. 6z AIFS as an example. May be a heater on the way!

Euro has snow breaking out mid morning Saturday with temps in the single digits.

Both Ai 12z runs bring the Baja low out for the 25th event. Both buried that low just like the GFS, at least in the last 4 runs. Another good medium range test for both of them.

Plenty to focus on in the medium range but hopefully we have this to look forward to as well.

Just looking way out there, we may see a repeat of the upcoming 2 weeks reload and repeat the 2nd and 3rd week in February. With the first week in feb being a brief relax. You can already see the Pac ull start to pull back at the end of the EPS. Looks like the ridge is about to spike again out west. Follows the weeklies evolution. All while the Atlantic remains favorable. Maybe we see a Nina start to the winter and a Nino ending.

ICON looked poised to deliver some cold smoke. That is one heck of an arctic HP. Just need something with a little pep to attack.

Same thing down this way. Quick dusting under light greens. The radar blossoms and under dark green/yellows the snow stops. Not a flake since. Oddest thing.

I remember being around 12 years old and being upset because I just assumed I would be growing out of this odd obsession with snow. I loved it so much and thought it was just a childhood thing. I remember creeping down the hallway at night to the laundry room so I could flip on the flood lights and see if it was snowing. I had a 4x8 map of the Atlantic on my wall where I would track tropical systems with dry erase markers. Now at 48 years old I am still up at all hours to watch the snowfall. Little did I know that the obsession would just continue to grow. Gardening is another hobby/obsession of mine. I would bet that most in here love hobbies or have interests that can really never be perfected. There is always something new to learn, always something that throws a wrench in the works but that 18" of cold powder or that bountiful harvest makes it worth it. I am thankful for this forum and the continued education I receive in here from all of the red taggers and other knowledgeable folks. Too many to mention and would probably leave someone out. This is a great place to feed my addiction and I appreciate it!

Been watching it regularly also. That band just seemed to jump to the north. Looks like you can see the dark clouds from that band on the 1st cam feed. I've caught many salmon around that bridge. Cool little town especially if you like fishing/hunting.
