Today's Storm Seems To Be Fizzling Out.

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Wed, 25 Jan 2023 18:02:36 GMT

We were to get 3 to 6 inches of snow then a mix (usually means sleet and/or freezing rain) then turn to all rain.

DD is working from home so she wasn't driving on the mix on top of snow coming home.

Well, it snowed some at 7am for a hot minute and stopped. It started again 20 minutes ago but unless it really ramps up we will not get 3 to 6 nches of snow.

She said she could have probably gone in f she knew it was going to putter around. I said better safe than sorry, 70 miles around in snow is dicey. The work got gone and that is what counts.

We are in NE PA.

Did you get any of this storm?

I'm in SE PA. It fizzled out here too. Was a bit of a disappointment.

Started snowing around noon here in east central PA. Ground, road, driveway and walks are covered. Not liking it at all. It's supposed to turn to rain at some point.

I'm in Indiana and we were supposed to get 4 - 8, It's pretty much tapered off to just flurries now (if that). We probably got 4 inches tops. It's hard to tell because it was a wet, heavy snow that compacted on the ground. Plus the temps have been 33 or 34.

Wisconsin is on the northern edge of today's snow. Only a half inch of snow. Being it is 30 degrees, the snow is melting on the pavement.

I am in Southestern Wisconsin, and we got a bit, but the weather report said no more than 3 inches total, although it is supposed to snow on and off all day!

It is really pretty, but I still have driving in it!

Here in SE MI we have a fair amount with more steadily coming down. It looks like our forecasters who said 4-8" might be right this time!

I live in South Central PA...Close to the capital city. We got about 4 inches of snow here. Right now it is a heavy slush with snow covering it.

My husband is out clearing out the walk and driveway. I had to cancel my physical therapy appt this afternoon.

We were expecting rain right after the snow, but it hasn't happened yet. Expecting rain again tonight. I hope it's all melted by tomorrow.

Weather guessers love to scare the c*** out of everybody. What about the old days when we just took it as it came? We were supposed to get it here, NE Ohio, big nothing.

We got just as predicted. A bit of snow and it stopped around 2:30 as it was supposed to. Hope it melts soon.

The area where I live in E/NE PA had 1-3" predicted for today followed by heavy rain later that's supposed to wash the snow away.

I went out & shoveled for a while. It seemed like we got at least 3" here. I went inside when the big snowflakes were only melting on the sidewalk & street.

It's a pretty snow. There's a lull right now, but the rain is supposed to hit here around rush hour.

Maryland as usual, just had rain. Every time snow storms hit, we get all day rain because it can't get out of the 40's here. I have a feeling our entire winter might just consists of rainstorms instead of snow. We might get snow showers next Thursday, but that's it. It'll be 36F. No snow of any kind so far. It's wet here too. It seems to rain every every couple of days are so. Maryland is listed as a state with extreme weather. The reason is that we could go for years with little or no snow, then suddenly out of the blue, 30"plus snow fall in one day. (No lake effect snow too. Maryland has no natural lakes). Seems to go every 7 or 8 years. And on the days of the perfect snowstorms, (complete with thunder and lightning) we surpass Boston in snow fall.

@Pantsonfire2 @songbird I'm in NoVA and I'm with you both. It's been so long since we had anything that could be counted as a "snowstorm" or measurable snow fall. I do miss at least one. As it stands now unless some weird polar vortex happens and we have a stretch of really cold weather, the ground is really too warm to support anything measurable unless it comes down really fast and for a long period of time.

This "el nino" weather pattern that we've been stuck in for a couple of years is frustrating. Looking ahead the coldest day is next Friday at 34 but then Saturday is back up to 51. It's like it's a new season, not winter/not spring kind of like a wierd combination. I know there are those that hate snow and I understand. I'm from New England. But I still like my 4 seasons. It just feels like we have only had 3 seasons so far.
