32.2 here, so I've crossed the threshold. Getting the heaviest precipitation of the event right now as well, which, of course is just plain rain.

Probably won't hurt to get the heavier stuff off, then let the temps melt the rest. That's what I'm doing.

Took a 3 degree rise in temperature to 29 now, but have a lull in precipitation.

Ok. I didn't see this one coming, but right now I have 100% snow falling. No rain. No pings. Just a light snow with moderate sized flakes.

Things got kind of quiet outside. Either it slowed down/stopped, or we have more frz rain now and less sleet. Gotta go check. Temp holding steady at 26.

Got about a 50/50 mix of frz rain and pingers here. Temp is 26.

33 here as well, but at this point yet it's a nice, sunny day.

I wish I could remember the exact numbers, but we had a decent period of snow before the sleet assault (perhaps 4 inches). Then I'd say we got another 2 inches of sleet before a crazy 2 hour warm-up where we went plain rain and a temp spike to 40 degrees. All that frozen soaked up the rain like a sponge, and then we went flash freeze with a flip back to heavy snow for a couple hours before it ended. That 2 hours of rain on top of the snow and sleet, followed by the flash freeze, was what set up the I-78 and I-81 disasters.

I'm on a medical leave of absence from work, so in that respect, i want to say "let it rip'. Flip side of that, though, is that my neighbor who used to help me clear snow is one that didn't approve of my going to AZ to help my mom, so now he doesn't help me, so all the snow removal for 2 properties and 3 vehicles is on me. That part makes me wish this wasn't coming.

I don't remember my forecast low, but 24 is my backyard low this morning. Tonight's forecast low is 22, so we'll see. My point forecast did add more ice on top of the 1-2 inches of snow/sleet expected. New numbers as of last check seemed like .1 to .3 ice accretion.

Me too, which is why I'm following this despite the fact that its not good for my mental health. I'm in a precarious place as it is. The past two and a half years have been hell. Perhaps if they didn't have such a negative effect on my job it wouldn't be so bad. I'm outdoors 60% of my shift. The trucks don't like that kind of cold, especially the business end of loading and unloading.

No, not again... Why would anyone want this? I love summer and heat, but I don't want 100 degrees. I'm quite happy with 80. Can't figure out why anyone would want painful, extreme cold air.

That's easier said than done. If I want to escape my winter misery, I have to divorce my wife because she isn't going anywhere.

Good God... I'm beginning to think I really should have taken the big D and stayed in Arizona.

.35" here.

I saw a ground video that was pretty horrific looking.

Geez. Another plane crash. This one in NE Philly. https://www.facebook.com/share/19qjB6ok93/

Wow. Similar situation here last week. Wife got sick over the snowy weekend, then gave it to me two days later. Same flu type A that you have. Totally kicked our asses. I'm still not 100% recovered. I'm not contagious, or sick anymore, but lingering fatigue and a raspy voice remain.

I started the winter thread hoping to bring good snow chances for you guys. It didn't work quite the way I wanted it to. It brought some ridiculous cold, but not much in the way of storms. I don't mind the snow as much as I hate the cold. That extreme cold did me in, and now I'm in full blown spring mode. It didn't help that I got the flu right in the middle of the arctic outbreak, so I've been somewhat miserable. I'm over the flu itself, but residual fatigue, a raspy voice, and mental changes remain.

Wow...so sorry to hear this. Such a terrible tragedy.

Being a warmanista on a snow/cold weather forum sucks... The best weather discussion lives here on these forums by a bunch of great folks, but everything is at odds with my own personal weather desires.

6am Tamaqua obs: 18.5 degrees in my backyard with some crazy local variations.

One that I hope is wrong. I can't deal with that kind of cold anymore. It sucks that to stay married, I have put up with temperatures I abhor.

I wish it was 75 this morning...

Gotcha. Thanks!
