This is by far the best forum. Philly and NY don’t have the passion, the expertise, the knowledge, and the personalities that the mid Atlantic forum does. This group obsesses over every storm. Love it. 

Philly doesn’t have the passion, half of the  NYC forum is arguing, and neither have the knowledgeable posters. NE has them but if it isn’t snowing in Boston 90% don’t even bother, and the SE is just inactive. We have fostered a supportive community and we live and die together.

Currently under a decent blob of precipitation. Looks like rain but not coming up on my weather station. Currently 34.

So far it is still all sleet as a lull sets up over NYC proper. It’s reaching into unmitigated disaster territory if it doesn’t flip back soon. 

If you go back and look, the Nam shifted the heavy accumulations north at 12z yesterday if I recall, and has been furthest North with the accumulating snow area. As bad as the Nam can be, it always sniffs out the mid level warmth.

there have been worse busts - I remember we were forecast to get 24-36", Cantore set up shop, etc - and we got maybe 10" while eastern LI got like 3 feet.

Ok. He’s about 45 minutes north. Could be big difference between city and suburbs. Meanwhile, 31 and drizzle here. 

lol yeah - that's not "just north of NYC".  Just north of NYC is like just past Yonkers or something.

Not really. Cold enough, just not freezing. The grass is crunchy.

yeah seems like southern CT is well primed for this one, north shore of LI too in Suffolk.

I agree. Mid Atlantic and New England are the top 2 in my opinion.

And just like that - a strong wind and we're up to 50F.  No more ice.  In fact I've opened the windows tonight to cool the cabin off and get some humidity in here.

Incredible temp difference on the Allegheny Front this evening. Mesonet has 50° at Bittinger, but 31° in Frostburg.

Visiting Lititz, PA for the weekend where it’s 26/26.

Started this afternoon with freezing rain, went over to a mix with sleet and freezing rain now.

Roads are a complete mess around town.

Side note: cute town all done up with Christmas lights everywhere. Looks great with the icy coating.

Left Harford county at 730 with an icy car and icy sidewalks. Roads were just wet. Tiny bit of melting ice on the car back home in HoCo.

Im in kutztown at the moment. It is gnarly out there. High of 30 tomorrow so it should be a glacier through Sunday afternoon.
