Looking back at my records the low on the 24th came at 11:45pm, so the low for the 24th and the 25th occurred within 8 hours of each other during the same overnight period. I recorded a low of -1 on the 24th (PM), -4 on the 25th (AM), and +2 on the 26th. We had a nice icing event on the 27th with a low of 18 and a high of 29, then there was another cold front that went through on the 29th that resulted in a low of +6 on the 30th and a high of 23. The following morning (31st) the low was +4. Christmas 1983 is in my top 10 weather events I have experienced. The pictures below are of the Smith River in Eden taken on January 1, 1984 where the Ice was between 7 and 9 inches thick and safe enough to walk across.

The coldest Christmas in my lifetime was 1983 in Eden, NC. A cold front moved through on Christmas Eve that dropped the temperature from 34 degrees at midnight to 15 by noon; by sunset the temperature had fallen to +4. The low on Christmas morning was -4 and the high only reached 14 with bright sunshine.

Here's a link to a good site for rainfall estimates that allows you to zoom in to street level. https://www.iweathernet.com/total-rainfall-map-24-hours-to-72-hours It shows 3.96" for my location from this most recent event and I measured 4.07", so it can be used to give a pretty good estimate as to how much rain has fallen. Looking at the rainfall estimates at the link I provided, much of the Dan River Basin in Stokes and Patrick Counties received between 4 and 7 inches of rain. As a result, the Dan River is projected to reach 32.4 feet tomorrow morning in Danville, VA which will become the highest crest ever recorded in Danville if that occurs.

Had a wind gust at my location just NW of Eden of 57mph at 6:10pm as a line of storms moved through.

I ended up with around 2" at my location in Eden. It wasn't until a couple hours after the snow had tapered off before I could get a final measurement, so some compacting and melting took place, it may have been slightly higher. I'm currently watching an area of snow that has developed in East of Roanoke over the past hour that is drifting to the south. Several of the models have been showing some additional accumulations for the northern Piedmont from this feature, so it will be interesting to see if that will be the case.

I'm closing in on 1 1/2" in Eden. I'm not sure if I'll make it to two or not with the lighter returns on the radar to the west. The snow rates have become noticeably lighter over the past 30 minutes and the temperature has went back above freezing to 32.4.
-
Starting to see a slushy accumulation on the road in front of my house. HRRR looks encouraging, but looking at radar things will probably start winding down soon in my area, at least the heavier rates of snow anyway.
-
Seeing some pretty good snow rates at this time. The temperature has just dropped below freezing. Currently 31.8 with a dew point of 30.9.

It's been just over an hour since the snow started here at my location just NW of Eden and I'm just now starting to see some accumulation in the grass with the temperature just above freezing at 32.7. The dew point has come up to 30.3 from the low 20's this morning.

Starting to see the first flakes here in Eden. Very light at the moment. 39.2/25.1

Down to 33.1 and overcast with a dew point of 27.0.

37.6/27.2 Mainly Clear 2 miles NW of Eden, NC

There's a small airport about 15 miles south of him that will no doubt be used as a staging area, so that could be an option he can try again. Hopefully there will not be any washouts of the road between his current location and there.
-
It will be interesting to see how difficult it will be for him to get out of that area once all is said and done. That part of Luzon is quite remote and the roads leading in and out of his location are limited. This may end up be a chase he later regrets. I hope that's not the case, but if the roads become blocked with debris and washed out in several locations, it could be quite a challenge.

I self published a couple of books through create space and have been satisfied. My books are available on Amazon in both print and through the Kindle format which makes them available internationally, but most of my sales come from my own effort. I usually order them in bulk and sell them myself when I am visiting the states and also sell them through a couple of mom and pop bookstores on a consignment basis.
