Ended up with about an inch here last night sometime
That probably happened a little after 12:30am... At least I was monitoring the radar and saw the division between the wet and frozen ( rain, mix, ice and/or snow ) around 15-20 miles to your NW. So depending on how fast/slow it was moving... it may have been in your area by around 1am-ish... At first I'd thought you'd have seen it sooner but the freeze line kept backing away from your area for a while and all I was seeing was the rain in your area for the longest.
I also saw some in Jmur's general area this morning, it was north of his location at that time and moving away. I'm uncertain if he only saw rain or had a little winter weather also. Yimmie may have seen some freezing rain since it was close to where she lives.
Just a bit of freezing rain last night (and ice covered car today). As far as the precip today, southern CT only had some rain showers. I'm thankful for that...
Bah... hum apple...
A friend of mine had an Apple IIe that we used to play with some when we weren't having practice... or fixing amps and/or speakers. I think that was also about the time I owned a Radio Shack Z80 mini computer that I didn't mess with much since I always had to reprogram it every time I started it ( didn't have a cassette interface yet ). I was thrilled to finally get an 8088 XT computer much later ( I built it of course )... with 640k of memory, a 20Mb hard drive no less and a 12" amber monochrome monitor running DOS 3.3...
EDIT...
I think I got some of that backwards... I think I had the RS Z80 before my friend got the Apple IIe...

Ah yes, the glory of the early computing days!
I would love to curate a museum of all that early hardware, the phone cradles, tape drives, A/B switches, etc. Not to mention the machines themselves, and the tape drive and floppy programs. Early '80's was just such an amazing time, and I think it's because we weren't so jaded yet. I mean we were completely amazed by the simple things we could do (relevant to now) and the potential it all had. Today we just assume to be able to do just about anything. And while I think that's been a great (REALLY great) evolution it seems like we lost something in the process. The "wonder" of it all is gone, and I miss that...
Krusty, I hope I spelled your name right. Happy Festivus to you and yours too!
