If it did not cloud over tonight some very low temperatures would have resulted. Between the radiational cooling and the snow pack, many rural areas would get into the single digits. Already in the teens in many areas. I currently have 18 degrees.
What I need is some heavier snow to drop the temp. about 1 or 2 degrees and then I can get some good accumulations. Right now 33.3 and light snow. very small flakes.
At this point, even though coastal locations were suppose to get the most, the fact that coastal temps are near or above freezing and inland is below, those amounts inland are adding up much faster.
The suns rays really make some difference. My house faces south and my driveway is wet. Across the street the houses face north and their driveways are all snow covered.
This is a little off topic but it can be argued for the amount of recorded hurricanes today compared to years ago. Today they include storms that would not have been named years ago, one prime example is this past season when a sub tropical low was given a name and it was off the coast of Portugal.
OK the news said an amateur. Not surprised if the news got it wrong. Anyway it does not look like it will stand. The original record apparently was, in all places, Cape May.
