Getting a shower of something frozen. Splats on the windshield like large snowflakes. Temperature dropped to 43

Been raining here much of the afternoon. Closing in on 3" of rain since Friday.

Torrential rain and some dime-sized hail now. Wind still ripping.

It’s rocking pretty good here with some loud thunder and strong gusty winds. Temp has already fallen 10 degrees as the rain begins.

Was surprised to find 1.51” in the gauge this morning. Knew it rained heavily before dawn but that was more than I expected.

Just like that, down to 34 degrees

Pouring big flakes here. 37 degrees.

A snowy day is forecast for the mountains. LWX going with 2-4” for Garrett, W Grant and W Pendleton Cos. PBZ going with 3-5” for Davis/ E Tucker Co.

Some decent gusts and brief torrential rainfall with the line here. It’s moving through quickly. No thunder or lightning.

My sixth grader has had quite a tumultuous school year. Attended school 2 days a week for the first 6 weeks, then had 13 weeks of remote learning when the schools closed. Followed by 3 weeks of 2 days a week again, and then finally got back to 5 days a week for the past 6 weeks which made a world of difference for him. Best we have seen him do in a year. Yesterday we got word he had close contact with a COVID-positive student and was being quarantined from school for 10 days. Which actually will be almost 3 weeks since his time ends at the beginning of a week-long Spring break. I told him he should shoot for straight A’s in the last quarter as an FU to the whole damned pandemic. He liked the idea. Hope he stays healthy and motivated.

WV continues to do an excellent job of getting the COVID vaccines administered. With the exception of my 12 year-old son, our whole household has had a shot. I got my first shot on the 8th, mother-in-law had hers on the 9th, and yesterday my wife (39 year-old daycare provider) and daughter (17 year-old with asthma) got their first jabs.

Martinsburg reported a temp/dew point this afternoon of 59/1 with 9% RH.

Yep. The wording for the areas in the purple (Extreme) category on this map spells out the potential impacts pretty well.

Lots of focus on Colorado, but Wyoming looks like ground zero for this one. Here is Laramie's forecast. Check out the winds.

At least it caps the number of NY and BOS fans that can take over the yard. Wonder what those cities are doing ?
