This is crazy. The leaves are still green on the trees in York, PA and the snow is covering them quickly. From here to Boston they are expecting widespread power outages as the leaves grab snow and bring branches down.
Hopefully the power will stay on until at least 3:30 pm or so!
Stay safe everyone, and break out the hot chocolate and your copy of 3&Out I guess...
If you were in Ann Arbor
Very cold
It's cold enough though

Goodbye everybody...Hello Heisman
Meh...
37 degrees just south of the airport. Could be a lot worse at this time of the year. At the very least, the sun is out and it is a pretty mid-autumn scene in the backyard.

A lot worse?
It's still October. I don't remember it being this cold this early in a long time.
I Remember A Few Times...
....when we had our first measurable snow in October, or at the very least, a dusting. I can also recall it being in the 20s for lows off and on during a few Octobers back in the day. To me, that's a lot worse. *puts "weather nerd" nameplate on forehead*

That's funny. My wife is, too.
Not working a 14 hour shift. Expecting 6-10".

Power Outages
In the utility business, among your greatest fears are frozen precipitation in the mid to late autumn or in the early to mid spring, and it is for that very reason - the added surface area the leaves present for freezing. Some of the biggest storms we've had (in terms of number of people out of power) in Detroit Edison history have been during those timeframes.

The previous record for
The previous record for October in York, Pa was only 2.1" I read. Even 6" has to destroy the power grid I would think. :~(
Checked York Forecast
It's 34 right now - if it stay above freezing, surface freezing might not be so bad, but you will still get some with wind chills being below freezing. Distribution systems are desgined to withstand a certain amount of ice - we probably overcompensate for it on newer builds in our system, but I don't know what eastern PA is like in that regard.

It isn't about freezing or
It isn't about freezing or ice. This snow out east is a heavy, wet snow. With more surface area for it to land and hang on, it can bring trees down on power lines.

It started a little while ago and is just starting to stick. The game should be interesting with JoPa vs the Zooker in bad weather...Hopefully the power stays on and I dont have to go scalp tickets to get my Saturday fix.

Where in Upstate NY?
I live outside Rochester and would like to find some Wolverine fanatics like myself to catch a couple games with. Seriously seems like MSU has a larger following in these parts. Barf!!!!
Where outside of the Roc?
I grew up right on the lake. Live in AA now but grew up there.

Drove 80W yesterday, from Delaware Gap to Sharon, PA, entire drive was panoramic, leaves were beautiful... Glad to put NYC in the rear view for a weekend.

Sux the big one!
Here in Williamsport we are getting quite a bit. I'm way behind on my fall chores and am trying to winterize the pool today.
If you were in Ann Arbor today for the game, it wouldn't matter. It isn't snowing here.
Go Blue!
