A bit reminiscent of the temp gradient the morning of the '08 ice storm. Current:

strong CAD, Pete on the Eastern slopes of the Berks said he was 33. Reminds me of Dec 20 13 on my trip to see the Bills, Westfield was 50 a couple of miles up the Pike it was 31. In Buffalo it was 50s by morning we had an ice storm.

Congrats Dendrite on the White Christmas ya beat that Grinch up. camera0-9.jpg

It's a bit fug. You can see the dark puddles and the open areas around the pear trees. It's receding away from the house in the bottom of the image too. I guess technically it will count as 1-2".

Dropping quickly now up high, while we are mixing out the low level cold in the mountain valleys.  It was still only 38F at my house when I woke up at 4am, but now up to 43F with wind as the cold front has passed. 

 

Still solid snow cover of at least 6" at home when I left at 5am.

 

Elevation...5am temp...6:30am temp...

4,000ft...48F...36F

1,500ft...56F...43F

   730ft...38F...43F

 

Check out these temps for 5am on Xmas morning.  I caught it at about its warmest, most of these are 10F colder now and falling off a cliff at elevation.
