Yeah is that you Lloyd?!

Going to Charlottesville on purpose is, indeed, a mistake.
-
Charlottesville gonna be another battleground between the precip types. Same as it ever was. Will at least be a fun one for the obs thread!
-
The major improvement, as others indicate, is that the 95 gets its snow and then the changeover is short and then dry. With the colder air coming in on the backside, a chance to hang on to snow/icepack. I really doubt that 15" comes close to verifying in CHO. Huge Ws for I-81
-
Given what happened with all the trees around these parts with the last storm... I could do without ice.
-
Such a close call there for a ton of people. Really seems like we won't be sure how it plays out until we get there. And I feel like I've seen this kind of thing many times before here in CHO... where I'm always gonna assume there's going to be more mixing and rain than what the models say.

Getting some purple on the board. Now we're getting somewhere..

Lotta tasty possibilities with those...
-
Too warm, too west, only 11" of digital snow for CHO, which will be gone by the 18z Next. (Am I doing this right?)
-
I’ll lock in those 42” IMBY right now. That’s the bar.
-
Fingers crossed it stays below freezing all day. Gorgeous bluebird conditions. Sunny, 2 inches of fresh powder, barely a breath of wind. A nice change from our Florida vacation. And quite glad no new trees down or power/road problems after seeing absolute carnage on I-64 on the way into town yesterday. Kids are loving it out there.

Still virga in downtown Charlottesville. But the air feels and tastes like snow.
-
Leave it to the NWS to make messaging even more complicated.

Mets say over 4" in Cville. Regretting my vacation. https://twitter.com/TravisKoshko/status/1478020238461620226/photo/1

Love too miss 3" per hour rates while I'm on vacation in Florida. Incidentally, this system is so powerful that while there's no precip here in NoFla, we have been having 15mph winds, expected to increase modestly through the morning, gusts over 25. Hope there's still some white stuff when I get back. Enjoy it lads.
-
Definitely a hefty mix now. 50/50 it seems
-
Well it said 19F IMBY but it doesn’t feel like it. Not a breath of wind nor a cloud in the sky. Sleet still big mounds in the gym parking lot. Gorgeous now though I know it will get too warm for my liking later today and this week. Ah well. We had a good run this past week. Time to get after it.
-
Given that the snow this year has been quickly attacked by the dreaded sun angle.. it’s been nice to sleet hold up. I’ve come around on that sleet bomb. It was ugly when it came down but now it’s done well.
-
Aside from the days when it has snowed.. this is the best morning of the winter. Sleet is a glacier (though patchy), the ground is rock-solid frozen, everything is iced over and it’s sunny. 30F but also fairly windy. A quite fine day.

GFS has gone from 18" in Charlotte to jackpotting Charlottesville in three runs. I assume this means the storm will be modeled to be in PA by tonight. -
We've had so much ice in CHO this year that I've almost burned through my first 50-lb bag of rock salt. Freezing drizzle here too.
-
Went for not exactly a Jebwalk since it's sleet... but a lot of the secondary and tertiary roads in downtown CHO remain messy. Not anything someone with experience couldn't handle easily, but compacted sleet with a frozen ground makes for something that's really stubborn to get rid of. It's a ghost town here.
-
Ah so we have found the REAL warm nose!

But he's not been telling lies...
