I agree sleet will cool the road surfaces faster.

I have an accu-rite weather station and the wind sensor hasn't worked right since i got it as a gift but those winds yesterday afternoon were fierce and my low this morning was 12

I hope no one is seriously injured in the pileup

Is I-81 the new I-80 for pileups?

Interstate 81 North MM 139.2- MVA with multiple injuries- poor visibility due to snow squall APPROXIMATELY 40-50 VEHICLES 2ND ALARM DISPATCHED Shutting down at the 138 exit Multiple tractor trailers and cars, county to notify hospitals of possible incoming patients.

Kudos to NWS for the warning it could have been worse. At least it gave everyone notice what was about to transpire.

Picked up a half in of snow

Temp went from 39 to 30 during the squall with howling wind. And less then 300ft visibility.

Got my snow squall warning.

My temp soared to 62 some time after midnight. That Wind was insane @4:30am and .85 for the rain event.

I hope we don't get those winds. But it's that time of the year as we get closer to March. I'm sure the trees I have here will get raked from the wind.

Looks like some residents of the burg will be retrieving their garbage cans after this wind event.

A frigid 7 this morning.

13 here and no new snow.

Absolutely not!

yes me too! WE got rid of most of our ice cover too, only to be setback...again! Joe Bastardi said A false spring is coming. Don't be surprised if we get record breaking warmth in the next couple of weeks, only to be put back in to winter in mid to late march.

So when is our next over achiever snowfall? Let me guess...probably when its close to spring . When everyone is in the spring mood.

1.5-2' here depends where you measure. Wonder how canderson is making out with his garden?

57 for the high an 19 for the low today. Hopefully this ice pack will melt away and it won't be so cold. There is about an inch at some places, but most is melted away.

50 high an low was 16 today

This is weather related. People will disagree with this (not all) people think all Robin's leave and head south. But being out doors and observing, some Robin's stay here throughout the fall and winter. I have heard and seen them throughout the fall and winter. In the fall and winter they stay in flocks 15-20 or more. In the fall and winter they fly high in the sky and stay in the trees. When the time is right in the spring that flock will come down to the ground to search for worms. Then they split from the flock status. Then they are mated up with another Robin to breed and raise their young. Yesterday afternoon there was a flock of at least 20 Robin's down on the ground at my place (where the creek flooded the bottom land and receded) looking for worms. Could this be a sign that maybe just maybe that winter is soon over?

Letting go of a passion, any passion is that we pursued all our lives and seen circumstances beyond our control to make it unenjoyable is hard.
