[Sophisticated Skeptic]

is that from the mike guy?

 

 

nope. 

 

must be a lot of us up here.  

 

regardless, should be an interesting night.  Not sure it even gets above freezing here at all...exact track will be crucial.  

 

Temps still dropping slightly through 27.

[snowlurker]

Wow its been a veritable snor'easter here in Newark, DE. Not a dry slot. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.

[lab94]

31.8 and ZR

[Quakertown needs snow]

32.5 rain

[Animal]

30 F freezing rain.

Nasty out. Everything is a sheet of ice.

[DarthDoppler]

Up to 31.6 now.  A bit of ice on non paved surfaces.

[Pohopoco]

After about an inch of Snow early,than a coating of sleet on top,we're into about 6 hrs.or so of Fr.Drizzle/Rain...temp. has slowly risen to 27.7 now from 24.6...so hard to measure,but when I can here the trees cracking like they're wrapped in saran wrap it's starting to pile up...estimate 1/10 in+...

[Pohopoco]

oop's hear,not here...

[Quakertown needs snow]

ugly

[Sophisticated Skeptic]

Nobody's mentioning how the 18z GFS finally woke up and is taking the NAM's lead with QPF estimates.    

 

NAM rocks the house...again. 

 

Good decision with the short-fused flash flood watch.   better late than never. 

 

Temperature jumped the last 90 minutes.  up to 30 now. 

[Pohopoco]

That radar shot gives you a Clear idea/view of the Poc.Plateau above 1200ft or so...Wyoming Valley in Rain to the W and lower el.'s to the E in Rain...

[ChescoWx]

32.9 with still some ZR on non-paved surfaces (see the nice glaze on the kids pumpkins)

Rain so far today up to 0.37"

[wederwarrior]

Nasty out there, significant ice coating on branches.

[Sophisticated Skeptic]

agreed, still below freezing here.  31. 

 

trees are iced over. 

[chubbs]

Up to 45F - rain

[famartin]

Parents have been running cool this evening, warming but not quite as fast as surrounding locations.  I guess their little creek valley is holding the cold or something.  At 11PM they were 3 degrees below the ASOS, about 85 feet higher than them. 

[Absolute Humidity]

Wind is really picking up now.
