I am getting more wind now than at any point during the storms.

[Coach McGuirk]

Well, that was nothing.  They shut down schools for this?

Yea might’ve gusted to 20 finally 

[Coach McGuirk]

Once we got constant rain showers around noon, the air was saturated and we would not have tornadoes.

Last week storm was so much worse. Rain is about over for us. We are sitting at .82" for the day.

The line going through Wake right now is legit. 38mph gust from it so far.

I’m guessing that’s right ahead of the cold front, itself. And what a cold front! Second memorable one within a week. This one may not have as much contrast between airmasses, but it’s going to make it significantly colder and for longer than what came in after the prior one.

Probably gusted 30-35 here but all in one gust with front. Let’s see how fast we tumble

Post- FROPA wind is much more impressive than anything today. We’re gusting over 40 for sure 

[WinstonSalemArlington]

Applies to North Carolina too

The temp drop was very noticeable when I went outside. It’s about 50 now.

.65" from the.... breezy rain showers.

 I just took an enjoyable walk in 47F windy post cold frontal 34F dew-point Canadian air at a park. I love strong cold fronts! Trash bins and other things were blown over there from this wind. Looking forward to more walks in this great wx the rest of the week.

 Looking for a low in the mid 30s at KSAV followed by a mid 50s high tomorrow making for one of the coldest St. Patrick’s Day parades in a long time! Erin go Blarney!

28 degrees at 5:30 am, will probably drop another degree or 2 before sunrise. This blows. A forecast high of 48 with wind chills in the low 30's this afternoon. We usually have outdoor activities for st Pat's day downtown. I'll stay home. I already see black on the tips of just bloomed perennials. Wondering how much damage there will be to plants and such that bloomed already.

 From summery low 90s in some areas just a few days ago back to winter now! It was down to 32 all of the way down to parts of N FL including Cross City, Crestview, and Pensacola! KSAV was 34. Look out tonight for areas that radiate decently to have even colder lows. Some of these areas have freeze warnings for tonight.

Very impressive 30.2 this morning. Looks like the first of three straight sub freezing mornings. We finished with 0.49” yesterday when I thought for sure we had a shot at an inch but when the line broke apart before getting here we were left with just a few minutes of moderate rain followed by light rain/drizzle almost all afternoon. Still a good soaking for most of the state 

[NorthHillsWx]

I’m going to enjoy these last 2 days of winter like temps! 40s and full march sun is about the perfect day to me and we will be begging for this in about a month and a half I promise you

[yotaman]

Low of 36. Currently it is 46/28 and breezy.

We definitely will dip below the 26 we hit at 7am this morning. It's currently only 41 with brisk winds. Feels like January.
