Just got my bell and back rung (head isn't bleeding but one hell of a headache from hitting an ice patch walking in the sidewalk trying to make it home from work). Night.

Be careful pal…you may not want to go to sleep right away with a head impact.

I'm not, I'm trying to stay awake a little while with a YouTube video to monitor

Pretty nasty out.  Even with Yak Trax I had to walk pretty slowly.  Our road is a complete sheet of ice.  28F with freezing drizzle.  

[WxWatcher007]

Torched to 39°

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Missing the heaviest precipitation has made the icing pretty efficient here.  Hoping the temperature creep up is slow here.  Would love to still have everything coated at sunrise.

32F here past midnight with freezing rain. Snowpack is ice covered. 

[dendrite]

29.3° -ZR

It’s 32. About to melt

[CoastalWx]

32 with slippery patches for sure

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Up to 29F now.   

[dendrite]

29.5°

Driveway is icy, but a lot of standing water too.

[Sugarloaf1989]

32F at 1am. Still ice covered trees. Forecast to be 33F at 2am.

 

On December 2nd 2025. It stayed below freezing. 

[MarkO]

31.6 and rising.Good luck to the folks north of me.

<<edit> lost power up north.

[Modfan2]

32F here at 3am, a little shocked we haven’t gone above freezing 

[Ginx snewx]

Not so fun drive to bring my wife, daughter and granddaughter to PVD 

33⁰ when I left icy as all heck until Warwick 37⁰ way home was much better above freezing entire way until my hill which is now 40⁰ with heavy heavy fog.

That’s not fun, we just hit 35F and the. area around me with elevation is mid 30’s to 40F

[moneypitmike]

Thermometer here in PVD is reading 36.   Snow on the deck has already taken a beating (that's actually a win).

Pit2 is showing 33.  My p/c up there is calling for 1-2 inches of rain......seems high.  With a forecast high of 42, that will do some pack damage.

[dendrite]

Already 32°

[Sugarloaf1989]

Still at 32F. 

[dendrite]

This is going to end up being a major nothingburger.

Yup meh as we thought

[TheMainer]

20 F and snow leaving the house on the way to Auburn area, should be an exciting drive...

1.1" of snow, hope we can hang on longer to snow like some of the Hi-res stuff is showing. 

[UnitedWx]

Super icy drive from Wedstfield to Simsbury this A.M. It looks like it just went above freezing here, still 31 in Granby

[512high]

32F/ icy conditions......DUH! would rather have snow.

[ineedsnow]

driveway and roads were very icy.. but meh on anything more

same unless were going to get major ice

[TheMainer]

Freezing drizzle and 29 in Waterville, Maine, assuming we're going to lose our all snow shortly back at the house 

[40/70 Benchmark]

I had a bit of a glaze on the driveway, stairs and various other surfaces, but never on the snow...."mushy" from the start. Odd, but I think that speaks to just how marginal it was in that the antecedent cold tipped the scales in favor of subtle accretion on certain surfaces that retained said cold near the onset. My stairs were bad...

32.4 now, but most to the night was pinned at like 31.5

Usually a bit more of a gradient between us, but probably because the wind is south instead of east....
