35°F here and raining. Morris County has a Winter Weather Advisory in effect from 9 AM today until 10 AM tomorrow for periods of freezing rain.

I am so tired of this icy weather. I’ve used more salt in the last couple of weeks than I have for at least the past three years. I love snow. I loathe ice.

36* and icing out

34* and a rain/sleet mix, 10:45 pm. Not sure how long it's been precipitating as I was at the ambulance corps with no windows lol. Roads seemed just wet, but I took it slow anyway.

Rain/sleet mix here as well

40*, calm, very foggy in New Hope

35 dgrees, cloudy, misty, calm wind.Snowpack on it's way out.Won't go below freezing until next Monday,I say this was a thaw but there was little to thaw.Old timey thaws came with a 12 inch plus snowpack OTG for weeks and single digit night temps.

Snowing right now in RI my son reported as he is testing out his new warmer coat..

Mom. Sign him up on this board. We can cover RI

50* light drizzle in New Hope, only a bit of snow still around next to plowed driveways, on shady slopes...

45/45 snow pack has taken a severe beating. Snow man has collapsed and melted    

Couple warm, wet days ahead. Somewhat colder weather returns next week which would be nice for maintaining a snowpack if we can get some snow from the Monday system.

It’s crazy last week at this time it was freezing dressing up in layers today. It’s a balmy 55° and I’m wearing a T-shirt lol what’s next?

51* at 6:45 pm, yep, spring is here. After a few hopeful days here on the Mainland, off to OTI I go.  

40 degrees, cloudy, damp, raw calm wind.
NWS going with rain to rain snow mix to a little back end snow, little or no accumulation at this juncture for the storm we are watching.

I think an inch or two for your area maybe 3 in highest elevations of Orange Cty. I'd be surprised to see nothing.

44*for the high today..gloomy and foggy

Doc, even a blink rooster finds an acorn once in a while. We will find some snow.

The area is running between 1-3 AN temps so far in January. IMBY +1 temps with 10" of January snowfall. Snowpack that last over 1 week. Compared to last January this was mint. No complaints...
