I was just outside with the dogs and it is trying to snow again. A coyote got our neighbors dog, day before yesterday, in broad daylight.....So I am having to be diligent with mine. No more outside freedoms, puppos...Sorry! The radar is actually starting to look better. It’s looking good for another round here and will probably clip you. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it’s looking like we might get hit by the middle part of it now. It’s expanded to the east side of it quite a bit. Really glad I went to bed at like 8pm last night and woke up just in time for the surprise! This mornings snows might end up being better than tonight here. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FroYoBro Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Wasn’t a very cold night here as there were plenty of clouds. Sitting at exactly 32 degrees right now.

Gradient Keeper Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 6:29 AM Radar Update Intense stuff offshore.
