Temps are at freezing already and roads are wet They salted here right as the rain stopped. Most roads seem ok but there are definitely spots icing. Cant wait to ice skate in my backyard later. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A public service announcement though, if you don’t have a garage I recommend going out and opening and closing your cars doors, mine definitely had ice already and took a little effort to open just now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely going to have some ice issues shortly. 27 here as well, with roads still plenty wet. Hopefully nobody slides into the ditch while proclaiming flash freezes to be a fraud... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ran to Rockland Bakery (im hoping that needs to explanation), and in the 10 mins i was inside my doors were frozen. The areas that flooded this morning by the palisades mall are iced over. Glad im done for the day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t come close to the freshness of going in the back and grabbing your own bread. Also the cookie platters are much better in Nanuet. currently 23/15. The dewpts have crashed along with the temps. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NepaJames8602 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Absolute crazy weather day. Left for work at 6 am to rain and 46 degrees, currently 3 below zero and winds gusting 40 to 50mph here on the Pocono Plateau. Flash freeze wasn’t as bad as advertised luckily, Penndot had a good handle on salting the heck out of the roads prior to the freeze up. Secondary roads a bit slick though. Fresh coating of snow today post front, and I somehow managed to salvage my snow pack with a minor refresher. Definitely a white Christmas here in the higher elevations of the Poconos, that’s for sure. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely going to keep an eye out for those ice patches on 9w and the Palisades Pky. Got down to +3 overnight.

Would love to know how much of your snowpack is still around. My house in the Poconos was at -2 at midnight but I don't know how much lower it got after that-- what was your low this morning? I think the lowest temps were around 8 AM? Did the windchill get to -20 or -25? I use Mount Pocono for my local obs, any idea what the low was over there and the coldest windchill? Thanks!

For 45 Christmas Eves I shared my bed but for the last 5 I’ve slept alone. Tonight I chanced to give the forum one more glance and found your post. I no longer feel alone, I feel, instead, blessed. Happy Christmas to all. Thank you BxE. As always …. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliancolton Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I had to spend some time fixing lights this evening, after yesterday's water ingress and rapid freeze wrought havoc on shunts and leads. Thank God for the LightKeeper Pro. Have a nice Christmas in whatever way you're spending it, folks! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
