Single digit and low teens dews any problem for this afternoon? -

Also notice the dews are once again 0 or even a little below in much of NJ this morning. The northern fringe of a disorganized system isn't saturating that. -
This winter continues to be dominated by cold, windy, and very dry days, as noted by the state climatologist. My skin can attest. The drought monitor still shows D2/D3 conditions, especially southern NJ. Maybe this past weekend put a slight dent in it, we'll see on Thursday when the new report is issued. It's noteworthy how the drought map seems to correlate nicely with a general difficulty to get precipitation to the cost, an issue dating back months. We do see a lot of radar movements generally northeast through central Pennsylvania and into NY state, and those areas are not showing nearly as dry on the monitor. Looks like the Wednesday-Friday prospects are off the table. If anything, another dusting to an inch, followed by more dry wind as the storm passes off well to the south.

OBS-Nowcast Noon Saturday 2/15-Noon Monday 2/17

32.2F on one sensor, 32.3F on the other with heavy rain. I don't see any ice accretion at the moment, but WOW. It looks like slightly milder air is just off to my south by a mere few miles. Can I get one last minute push? Doubtful. At a bare minimum, walking the dog will be fun later. This is going to suck bad or worse, depending on where you are.- 475 replies

29.08" on the home barometer (985 mb). That's down there. That's down there. We briefly got to 37F, dropped back to 34F. Most ice accumulation is gone from the trees. But now it's starting to get quite foggy within the last 30 minutes.- 475 replies

We have popped up to 36 here, helping with ice. Hopefully not too much will be left on trees. Rain is lightening up some.- 475 replies

It's a potential $hit show unless that cold air erodes quickly enough. I'm sitting at 33, but up on the mountain, it's not. At this point, my forecast high will miss by 15 degrees.- 475 replies

The same thing once happened to me. Had to create a new account due to lost password. Maybe the mods can look into it. -

Radar just fizzled out as the bulk of it headed east. I wonder what caused that?- 475 replies

0.1" or so in Sparta. Calling it a heavy dusting and moving onto the next.- 338 replies

We're spot on with you on Sparta. I measured 2.4", broken out with my best estimates as follows: 1" of snow 1.2" of sleet, 0.1" ZR 0.1" snow to finish.
