It’s 5:38 pm and the snow ended a few hrs ago. I just got in from snow blowing. All along the watchtower I found a solid 5 inches sticking the snow on the driveway, on the car, and on tje walkway. No jive, just five. A little here a little there. It all adds up.

by **dkodgis** Tue Feb 09, 2021 5:42 pm

Oh forgot. 27 degrees

by **amugs** Tue Feb 09, 2021 6:31 pm

26* here now brrr again.
Lots of black ice tonight from todays storm already.

by **aiannone** Tue Feb 09, 2021 9:16 pm

Freezing drizzle all evening. Everything is a sheet of ice in a nice glaze.

4° and over a foot and a half of snow on the ground for two weeks straight.

Life is good right now.

by **dkodgis** Fri Feb 12, 2021 8:41 am

Just before 7 am this morning, it was zero. Now degrees here, too. A winter wonderland.

Yep here too, I do not recall the last time we held onto so much snow, it is melting but very slowly, in the most sun prone areas its less than a foot but in shaded areas its easily a foot i think.

12* for my low with about 16" on OTG maybe upwards of 20" in some areas!
Beautiful scenery

by **amugs** Sat Feb 13, 2021 2:07 pm

27/11 DP split now - cold!

by **aiannone** Sat Feb 13, 2021 2:48 pm

27/4 here

GSP closed northbound just north of exit 48 for major multi-vehicle accident. Surprised there are folks out now, especially since the precip moved in much earlier today...

Oh no. Hopefully not a prequel of what’s to come around here Tuesday.

what I don't get is why in Texas and now NJ do people try to drive in this? All you need is .01 of ice to make roads terribly slippery. I fear too Frank for Tues wether it in metro area or further north. Haven't seen cp or doc and I know why . right now they sit in the worst spot posdible. But we will see what models do. It seems like predicting ice is even harder than predicting severe tstorm.

by **Dunnzoo** Sat Feb 13, 2021 9:15 pm

25.7* and a little band of sleet and freezing rain mix just passed through, radar looks like it is drying up here in NNJ. Yet the WWA has been extended into more the northern areas.

by **Dunnzoo** Sun Feb 14, 2021 8:39 am

Just a light glaze here at 27*. Thankfully NNJ was spared the worst of it.

by kalleg Sun Feb 14, 2021 8:47 am

New Hope update: thin glaze on the steps and driveway, a bit crunchy walking across the snow--took the overland route to get the papers; currently 27*

by **Radz** Mon Feb 15, 2021 6:29 am

27* icy start already out there from overnight spotty
fz rain

by **billg315** Mon Feb 15, 2021 2:44 pm

36* and Cloudy here. Still under an Ice Storm Warning.

by **amugs** Mon Feb 15, 2021 3:56 pm

34* here, storm incoming is a disappointment in my book.

by **heehaw453** Tue Feb 16, 2021 2:03 pm

At 47.2 right now. Cold air is on the move though as the initial shot is getting towards Reading, PA. Won't be long.

by **billg315** Tue Feb 16, 2021 2:38 pm

Cold air is plowing east. 48* here but you can see temps dropping to the west. 30* in State College PA and 22* out by Pittsburgh.

Come on snowpack, it has to make it a few more hours. Took quite a beating last night and early this morning.

by **essexcountypete** Tue Feb 16, 2021 3:19 pm

I was not expecting 51* and sunny. What a lovely day!

Somehow I think WU is wrong about tomorrow's weather though...

"Tomorrow's temperature is forecast to be NEARLY THE SAME as today."

Yeah, they're probably going to have to fix that. Try 20* colder. lol

by **billg315** Tue Feb 16, 2021 3:53 pm

You can tell the Cold Front has arrived as the winds are gusty now and the temp has dropped 3 degrees here in the past hour or so.
