10am yesterday morning, just a little slush but hey it was the first snow of the year

Temp dropped quickly yesterday evening but nothing after 1am, 30° for the low, no frost, this is Fall in Virginia. I hope to see an old fashioned New England autumn with a couple of strong cold fronts and maybe a coastal storm or two with rain and wind again as this is starting to seem like the new norm lately. I’m just an observer but I’ve been observing for a long time and with this kind of an autumn it looks like a long warm boring winter, IMHO Hope I’m wrong

28° and that’s frost that ended the growing season.

39° here, possibly light frost?

That was an almost snowless winter, I don’t remember exactly how much snow we had that year but maybe 12 to 15 inches in Collinsville CT. if that.

In Pawleys Island SC there are a lot of crossed fingers that this storm does not strengthen much if or when it emerges over water. Two years ago after crossing Florida Ian landed here and did serious damage to the island part of Pawleys although there was minimal damage on the mainland. I’m heading back to Connecticut before this thing arrives.

Severe weather is not very common on the beach in Murrells Inlet SC aside from hurricanes however this one was impressive, four years ago this struck at about 2 o’clock in the afternoon and lasted for almost 2 hours, spun off a week tornado right on the beach, it was the most intense lightning I have ever seen

The light rain of the last hour has switched to light snow, 32°

Interesting afternoon, Steady light snow for several hours now with an occasional burst of heavier snow, A little over a quarter inch, drifting snow with the wind, lol, 12°

15° steady light snow for the last 45 minutes NW wind 15-25 mph

23° 0.50” for the day, never got above 25°

steady light snow 23° just over a quarter inch of new snow

The very light snow is now a steady light snow with a few bursts of moderate snow 25°

freezing rain and sleet has turned back to snow in Barkhamsted 27°
