About .45 inches today in Western Albemarle to start the week. Rain/mist/fog  most of the day on lee side of mountains. 

Suddenly lots of blue sky in western Albemarle. Full sun at the moment. 

Wintergreen ended up with about 5”. Made for some fun skiing after work with the kids.

For those wondering about rates. 

That’s a nice depiction for Western Albemarle!

Last night’s event lived up to the hype somewhat around Crozet VA. Number of roads still closed around the area and power restoration estimated sometime this weekend. 

From Nelson County -

Via WPOA and Wintergreen Fire & Rescue :

“We are currently experiencing hazardous conditions at and around Wintergreen. Winds are gusting over 50 mph, rain is heavy at times, and fog is thick. The wind has stripped nearly all foliage and created slippery roads. Trees have blocked roads and there have been traffic accidents. 

For the remainder of the afternoon, if you're able, please avoid driving and outdoor activities at Wintergreen.”

Satellite shows some pockets of clearing ahead of the line associated with the tornado watch. Question will be whether that becomes clouded over more with stuff popping ahead of the line...or will the clearing sustain and move over our area later on. In my mind, any clearing is just bonus instability. 

There were some peaks of sun in Western Albemarle right after the line of showers but quickly clouded over again. 

Post-storm lightning shot as it moved through Nelson County this evening. 

Out in Crozet... nothing came to pass with the tornado warning. Just a light shower. 

Flipped to white rain in Western Albemarle

Little off topic for this upcoming system .. been seeing alittle bit of lightining down here near Afton Mt... first lightining/thunder of the year !

Interesting. Didn’t hear/see it in Crozet. 

In Western Albemarle, the temperature jumped from 35 to 48 between 7am to 8am. Wind has started to pick up from the north with a couple gusts. Snow cover held on to a couple of the hills overnight, so hoping they can make it through the next few hours to keep things scenic into next week.

4.3”, picked up .2”.

 

If only we had had returns over us the whole day, could’ve verified low-end warning. Busted down here.

 

It was a frustrating day down here. Albemarle did well back in December so I guess it evens out.

Pavement finally trying to cave in Charlottesville. Been rough so far.

Hanging around 30, can’t measure right now.

Same out in crozet. Roads suddenly caved around 10:30

Getting some skiing in up at wintergreen. Light snow that dusted late afternoon but not much since then. 

Just measured roughly 5.75” in western albermarle. Heaviest snow of day right now.

Fellow weather nerd at UVA reporting 2.7”. Seems slightly high to me.

Sounds accurate to me from what I’m seeing in western albermarle

First flakes in Crozet!

Albemarle upped to a WSW for 4-8 inches

We drove over the Blue Ridge on I-64 for the first time in the daylight since last week's ice event. The tree damage along the ridge and on the Shenandoah side into Waynesboro was pretty substantial.
