Just got back from a visit to Ohio yesterday and was impressed with around 8 inches when I got home! Currently some freezing rain. Looking forward for the return to cold after tomorrow but pissed we have to have freezing rain and rain after that beautiful snow.

Yup, even down here I had a hard glaze of snow topped ice that persisted since Fri night until the warm up began yesterday. Lasted all Saturday instead of instantly vanishing. 

If we can get an event, even small, not tied to an extreme warm up this seems like a good winter for retention even at the CP. The last such for me was 14-15. My Dec average temp is 32.9 which is wild, coldest Dec by a mile since I installed my Tempest.

Classic snowpack eater dense fog across the area this morning with only around 0.12 mile visibility at spots like JFK and ISP.

32.2 here, I was still below freezing until the last 30 minutes when it starting creeping up.
