Is it worth mentioning?

Probably not at this point in time, but people usually have put some notice about the latest models in the obs thread.  Obviously, the meso/CAM models are more appropriate at this point, as well as "now-casting."

MaxVelocity just  said Kansas City is under-performing. Maybe they got more ice?

Thats our backside stuff out there. All I care about right now is how KY, WV and southern VA are doing. We need to maximize the thump. That is out easiest way to get buried. And I think we will.

None of the roads are being pre treated here.  Not even the major ones like Georgia Ave. 

I was shocked to see Eastern still salt free just now.

We usually leave ours up until the 6th--so this was just in time! The Epiphany Storm?  (or do storms have to measure more in feet to get a moniker?)

Same here! Happy Feast of the Epiphany!

Temp dropping nicely.  32/11.

I wasn’t exaggerating when I said this was the best cold enso pattern since 1996. It will take some luck to cash in to that same level again, but the potential is there.

I’m 40 minutes SE of Huntington in Lincoln County. Born and raised Jersey girl though. lol. We have close to 4 -5 on the ground just by looking out my windows. lol.  Still snowing as of late. No changeover yet. Roads are a mess and accidents all over the area.

I’m seeing some signs of the northern MD banding we want for those north of 70 on guidance finally

What a beautiful area. Snow in the mountains is the best. Enjoy!

It’s a different world indeed. Can be 34 and rain down at the shop, and I’m on the mountain pushing 3” of snow!

Love this forum and the intricacies with which some of you digest the data. Thank you all!

Me too! Just turned them on for first time since Christmas night - held on hoping that this weekend might be a thing…

LOL. I took down the multicolor holiday lights in the front shrubs that are likely to get snow and ice caked in the next 24 hours...but left the spotlights on the front of the house, but turned them to "January" colors. Also, currently...30/10...that DP rising a tad from where it sat most of the day.

Talk dirty some more! 26 still mostly fair skies.

They must be starting in southeast. I’ve got a quarter inch of salt on the road down east capitol.

’m gonna keep an eye on it but with what @wxmeddlersaid about age and hydrometer, my VP2 just could be at end of life. It’s old. Like 15 at least. Might need a replacement. m

Temp down to 32.5/15 but if DP is really single digits my temp will fall nicely

DP on my wx station was single digits most of day but now on rise. You also mentioned that you relocated your station...so let's see what happens. My DP is on rise after single digits most of day...which my sinuses will attest to.
