Only 43 F/6 C and mostly cloudy at 2PM. Windchill 38 F/3 C. Slight chance of a rain or snow shower tonight. Forecast low of only 23 F/-5 C.
Guess I didnt need to drive anywhere. Flurries here now with patches of blue skies in spots. Lol.
Earliest and warmest I ever saw snow falling here. Litterally a few flakes so no, nothing sticking.

SPRINKLES AND FLURRIES WERE OCCURRING ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE

NORTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE LAKES WITH BANDS OF SHOWERS AND
FLURRIES. WILL HAVE ACTIVITY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS INSTABILITY

*NOTE THAT BASED ON AN ANALYSIS OF OVERNIGHT LOW TEMPS...WE MAY
DECIDE TO CANCEL THE FREEZE WARNING FOR PARTS OF THE REGION THAT
EXPERIENCED A KILLING FREEZE WITH OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 20S.
Interesting. Always impresses me how far south the snow can fall in U.S compared to other regions/continents even early in season.
You mentioned 70s then snow... how about Michigan... near 90F then snow.
Yeah I saw that. Even more impressive.
Lol, Sodankylä muncipality (our equivalent of a county) is almost as large in land area as CT, but the muncipality has 8800 inhabitants. So not even many snow lovers here have gotten anything so far.
The past two mornings have been the first two that reached freezing this year, and both mornings it got down to 23F/-5C. The afternoons have been mild and sunny, mid 50s.
It's like 50 degrees, wtf. I've never seen flakes this early, and at temps this warm.
Yup.. (see Pics in Photo thread). Guess we can expect this with the 850mb level at -8C over us. NUTS! Even the lightest stuff will find a way to the ground because it's so cold aloft.
So basically we (I) had our first frost, freeze, and flakes in the same day. Too bad my station stopped at 30.0°F otherwise it would of been 1st 20s too.

Wow! Was a trace recorded in Central Park? If so is this among the earliest ever!?
