Snowmageddon

[felser]

Let us know what's happening in your area with the storm and how you are making out.   Doesn't hit here in Philly until the Sunday early morning hours.

[Milestones]

We are waiting for it here in the Cleveland area.  Today has been calm and peaceful, though quite cold.  Still going around and doing things, the last being dinner at a German restaurant.

So far, not as much as feared, although what there has been has been mostly ice, so yuck on that.

As long as the power stays on, it should be a nice hunker.

It's been 25 all day; but not windy, so not so bad.

No snow yet.  Maybe ice on the roads tomorrow morning.

Maybe 3-4 inches in Kansas City, but very cold (3-4 degrees all day) and windy.  Dry snow is a plus 😀

Looks like about 6" so far, and it is snowing heavily.

 

[Brad]

Here in NW New Jersey near Morristown, about two or three inches so far I’d say. 

[jlhoots]

Inch or two of snow overnight. Temp. this a.m. is 3. Sun emerging.

Looks like we're up near six inches in Philly Western suburbs, and still coming down like crazy.

[Holy Ghost]

Four inches and counting in the Cleveland 'burbs.

Happen to be this German establishment?

We frequent the hofbrauhaus quite frequently.

Take this storm seriously. It's a sleeper, but the snow piles up fast. Up to 7 inches now. My institution has already closed Monday.

Ice and sleet with freezing rain coming. Freezing rain causes power issues so I hope it's much less than forecasted.

Yes. That's the absolute worst. Back in 2022, we lost power for 9 days due to freezing rain. It's definitely something to take seriously. Flashlights, generators (if you own one), and camping stoves! Plus—lots of blankets. Oh! And "pedestrian crampons" really helped.

More or less like these.

[GA Russell]

We had two inches overnight.

My family in the Texas hill country had a pipe burst and have dealt with graupel, but are otherwise ok.  Supposed to warm up a bit and then refreeze, so may be messy soon.

My wife is in Atlantic City for work, and they had 6" overnight.  I'm supposed to go join her on Wednesday, hopefully flights are closer to normal by then.

We're at around a foot right now and it's windy, blowing all over the place. The snow's still coming down hard, but I imagine that by tonight it'll relax a bit. We are supposed to get around two feet!

[felser]

We've been getting sleet for a couple of hours on top of about 8" of snow.  Just hope it stays sleet and doesn't turn to freezing rain.  Temp 17, real feel 3, gonna be tough if we lose power.

Yeah, huge fear if the power cuts out, then I can't watch the football conference championships.
