(1/4) BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! Earlier this summer, I made the difficult decision to retire from my position as Director of the @millersvilleu Weather Center at the end of August. I’ve been blessed to serve in this role for one-third of a century (yikes!) and to be part of…

@EdRussoWX Outrageous! I hope this was not a professional MET.

@MUweather I think you did an excellent job with this tricky and rare system! No hype on MU forecast—just expert analysis and mid-envelop forecasting. ✋

@dmorrison99 No, it’s my camper van. Not really too messy. It’s almost like baby powder.

Today’s weather: “Gusty winds with blowing & drifting gypsum!”

Seriously, folks, this isn’t snow—it’s the gypsum dunes of White Sands National Park in New Mexico. A surreal day driving and hiking here.

@steve_butzer I’m in NM, so not paying super close attention. But I-95 from Philly to Boston looks to get hammered. Challenge will be the sharp western edge in the eastern third of PA.

Amazing photo!

Pittsburgh looks like it could be located in the Arctic Circle in this photo from last night. The melting and cracking ice made for a ton of interesting shapes and textures. I always look forward to this happening any time we get ice on the rivers. Sure it's interesting when they completely freeze over but when they start looking like this it really makes for some fun photos! #pittsburgh

Looks like the Arctic Ocean — it’s really Lake Erie!

Below −20°C along the shores of Lake Erie. ❄️✨

The water is frozen solid, wave after wave locked in ice, stretching as far as the eye can see. A place that never truly rests, even in deep winter.

[E. Horst @HorstWeather]

@ryanweather Agree. Not even close.

@MUweather meteogram shows an impressive run of sub-zero wind chills (blue) beginning ~2000 (8pm) Saturday thru Noon today. 16 consecutive hours of sub-zero chills is a rare occurrence (thankfully!) for LanCo. Stay warm, my friends! Stoke the🔥

[E. Horst @HorstWeather]

Lake Erie nearly 100% frozen — about a once-per-decade occurrence.

[Ray Petelin @RayPetelinWx]

👀 I was checking out Lake Erie's ice on the satellite... Check this out... You can see a giant crack forming on the ice sheet from near Long Point #Ontario to #Cleveland, OH!

@MetabolicUncle Great post! 💯

Incredible!

Just incredible scenes in North Myrtle Beach. Love it or hate it, take a moment to appreciate what is happening. Between the incredible snowfall totals many will wake up to, and the extreme cold, this storm will join the ranks of legends like the 1989 storm. #SCwx #NCwx @wmbfnews

It’s not any day that you can stand in the middle of the Conestoga Creek! Only one or twice per decade do we get the sustained cold needed to create this ice rink! Today is the 8th consecutive sub-freezing day and 4th single-digit overnight.

[E. Horst @HorstWeather]

@PritzkersPicks @ryanweather No. Too early to write it off.

[E. Horst @HorstWeather]

@NWSStateCollege Agree. However, check out the GEFS Plumes -- significant spread with a mean of plowable snowfall in Harrisburg...and 5 members with double-digit snowfall. So still significant uncertainty.
