Weather lesson for the day. The blue line is temperature, and the red line is dew point. When the lines meet, you're at 100% humidity. Jack posted at 22:07 that it started snowing "a little while ago" to verify the graph, which shows the convergence of the lines beginning at 21:00. (Sorry for the foreign units on the left axis, but some places that I send data to still require those archaic measurements based on some dead king's shoe size.)
On the bright side, the forecast for early next week is calling for highs around 10 degrees. Looks like the March lamb is finally getting here.....
Neat correlation, but.... Precipitation does not necessarily form at the earth's surface where these measurements are taken; it usually forms at higher altitudes where conditions (temperature and moisture content) can be quite different than at the surface.

Absolutely, which is why I was wishing for a weather balloon earlier yesterday. We were getting virga on the radar all day, because the humidity at ground level was below 50% and the snow was evaporating on its way down. At 21:00, the dew point spiked, which let the snow finally reach the surface shortly afterwards per Jack's observation.
As a footnote, evaporation results in atmospheric cooling in the layer where it is happening. Notice how the temperature dropped as the humidity rose, most likely due to the evaporation zone getting closer to the surface around 21:00.....

Clouds with snow are here and not moving:
I expect about 1/2 meter till morning.
I hope "not paradise" will pass quickly.

"Wanted" Poster Creates Laughter in Monroe County (PA)

STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) - A suspect is on the loose, and local authorities are looking for any credible leads to track him down.
Outside the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, you'll find the Warrant Wall where pictures of wanted suspects are posted.
"Kind of a 'wall of shame', if you will," explains Cpl. Scott Martin, Monroe County Sheriff's Office.
As you walk past the posters, there's one in particular that's turning heads.
"They stop, they look, they do the double take because they can't believe what they're seeing," Cpl. Martin smiles.
Then, they read the description.
"The subject in question is about 20 inches in length, 22 pounds, he has brown and grey hair, brown eyes, sharp teeth," he adds.
It's Punxsutawney Phil, and he's in big trouble!
"I think it's good. I think that they need to get him, yeah. They need to get him and bring him in because we need spring. We need it now," laughs Mary Montgomery of Stroudsburg.
On February 2nd, Phil promised there would be 6 more weeks of winter. That promise expired last week.
Now, the groundhog is "grounded" and wanted for Deception.
Your help is needed to get this guy out of his hole and into jail.
"If they [the public] sees him, give us a call, because we want to take him into custody," Cpl. Martin laughs.
Cpl. Martin created the clever poster because he says he is sick of the snow, especially in spring.
