Last 4 hours loop. Ocean effect snow in Eastern MA with Notheast flow while a southeast flow into NJ. Awesome to see.!

Light snow Johnstown, PA. Freezing Rain in Scranton

NJ getting hammered with heavy rain off the Atlantic. Looks done in Atlantic city now. That fast?

Snowing pretty good here in Pittsburgh. Doubt we will get any accumulation though. Winter is returning Thursday

Great website, thank you the Binghamton area in general is very hilly and underpopulated, so it's understandbale that there's not too many stations

Multiple Hazards. Rain after midnight as storm gets closer with the warmer air.

Constant sleet going on 4 hours now, ground is covered in sleet which is pretty cool! I made a big sleetball!

Thanks for the report. Almost 1/2" of rain here already, temps in mid 30s, wind chills in 20s.


look at the hose being sprayed right into us from the Atlantic!


5-9pm Loop.



Watch Hartford go from rain to sleet then icon gets darker (heavier sleet)



Scranton go from rain to ice now back to rain

Probably 1/2 to 1 inch sleet on the ground..enough to keep the plows coming!

It's been pretty mild in Norman since I got back. I don't really have anything to report, beyond a brief rain shower on Saturday. It's been getting into the upper 50s or 60s during the day and down into the 30s and 40s at night.

It's been a flippin' torch the last couple of weeks. Hasn't been below freezing since January 9.

Come to think of it, this winter has been a torch interspersed with a few short cold waves. Dec. 18-20 and Jan. 5-8 were cold but the rest has been well above average for the most part.

Seasonable temperatures forecast from Thursday, January 26 on but no real cold. No ice days or lows colder than the high 20s forecast through February 2.

Maybe February will turn this around. December was slightly above average but January's been a fail with an average temperature over 10 F / 6 C above average. We just had a torch winter in 2012, do we really need another?

This winter started late, too. First frost was November 20!
