Got about an inch thus far here north of Reading. Roads are covered, 32.3°F currently. Very pretty.

32.9°F and parts of the driveway are starting to cave. Have to go to bed soon but this is pretty decent for December and I am enjoying it, regardless of how much we get.

Ok so it's snowing here already... Temp still 34°F, not sticking, but really pretty in the street lights.

34.7°F here north of Reading. No precip as of yet.

I'll be sure to report

Dang. Haven't seen such a strong hail signature in a while. Radarscope reports 2" hail.

Dang. Haven't seen a hail signature like that in quite some time...

Granted, I only have four years of data from current location, but this is the earliest we've been above 80. Peaked at 85.2°F.

man I stopped checking for digital snow on the GFS like a month ago. It's all fake news. Pretty to look at, and ponder at, but never real.

I feel like nowcasting is the only way to see how things pan out these days. Forecasts have been utter rubbish for (checks notes...) years now? Yeesh. No disrespect to our prof mets, but yeah. Rain all afternoon today? Nope. Ten degrees lower than forecasted yesterday. Countless model-predicted snows this winter and nothing. Something is deeply amiss in our ability to forecast weather with any kind of accuracy these days. I feel like all we can do at this point is watch the radar and try to see what's going to happen in the next couple of hours. Forget being able to see anything long-term, other than painting really, really broad strokes. That said... I am somewhat concerned with the radar at the moment:

Temps now creeping up, we're at 52, woo hoo.

Our high was 50.9 here, almost 10 degrees off the forecast. Can't win 'em all, I guess.

Ok, that'll do. Still coming down, too.

Still waiting for this to verify. Surely this will verify, right? I captured this about 10am this morning: Current conditions:

And just like we all knew would happen, poof, gone. It was a pretty OK winter this year at least. I'm kinda on to scoping some spring t-storms now.
