Went from calm wind to whistling winds in minutes; temp has spike 9* in 10 minutes.  Pretty neat.

Still calm and cad down below you.  35F coating of sleet still intact.

Yeah, you weren’t going to get any wind at 36.

I’m curious to see how the high wind warning works out. Soundings showed a brief period with potential to mix out to 50 knots.

My temp spike has leveled out after an 11* climb.  Winds are blowing strongly.

5.0" here, exactly at the 50% probability from GYX.  SN began 10 PM and accum was pretty much done by 4 AM though some light mix continued until about 8, LE at 7 was 0.61".  Trees are loaded though it's falling off now as temps creep above 32.  First peek at cocorahs showed 5.5" (Abbot) as tops, but observers from N. New Portland and Hartford failed to include snowfall, each having more LE than I listed, so I suspect both places reached 6" or more.  Still puking snow in Aroostook, so tops for Maine will likely be there.

Edit:  Re-checked cocorahs, Temple now ahead with 6.3", Franklin County FTW.

The last of my coating is melting. Heading to the mountain now. Excited for some crazy winds.

Wind's roaring now.  Nice sun.  Everything's melted, lawn's a pond.

Crazy temperature spike this morning, back to light snow now 

[NorEastermass128]

Another sunny DSD. Not a Saturday, but I’ll take it on this holiday. 

[HoarfrostHubb]

Blue skies and ferocious winds. We wound up with about 0.7” of liquid including the half inch of slop, which is all gone now.

[#NoPoles]

59 degrees, .97inches through the tipper

[moneypitmike]

Temps are pretty slow to drop down.  Have only come down to 43 off a high of 46 when the wind's kicked in.

Only 40F here, but not bad with the sun out and after shoveling. Wind is cranking though. New Davis anny just gusted to 30mph.
