Wintry mix of misery across East

We got a taste of this yesterday - a little rain, a little sleet, a bit of snow, some freezing drizzle, a little more sleet, a dash of snow ... "miserable"' doesn't do it justice. But -

This has been a much colder and snowier month than is usual for December in Indiana. Usually it's pretty rainy, and fairly mild (30°F - 40°F) this time of year, with the real cold and snow holding off until January and February. So far we've had better than a foot of snow and temperatures have been averaging between ten and twenty degrees below normal. So yesterday, even though it was still chilly by California or Florida standards (35°F was the high) felt positively balmy, and much more seasonable.

Much of the Northeast was under a winter storm warning Friday as freezing rain, sleet and snow made roadways dangerous.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
