    More common than you think.  We do get snowstorms in southeaster VA.  It's feast or famine.  Last year was 1 in, 2 in, 2 in, 8.5 inches.  The previous two years were nothing.  We average 8 in a year.  We could be zero or 20 inches.  Nor'easters can drop 8-12 inches on us. 

    I grew up in Virginia Beach and only remember 2 years when we got slammed with snow. 1980 we ended up with over 40" for the year with it ending with the infamous early March blizzard. And 1989 we had back to back blizzards in February that dropped over a foot each time separated by a week. Other than those, we had a years with no snow or maybe a year with 2 to 6". I moved away in 1996.

    Low of 29.2 and the heaviest frost of the year. Car doors were frozen shut with residual moisture from yesterday’s rain. Posted in the November obs but picked up 1.09” yesterday and high topped out at 44.1

    I did the same not realizing it's a new month.

    Ended with 1.98" for the day. Temp sitting at 58. Waiting on the front to come through. 

    Had a morning low of 38. Looks like more rain coming in on Friday.

  3. Temp dropped to 29 early yesterday evening, then rose to 37 by midnight before dropping to our low of 28. Nice hard freeze as temp stayed below freezing for a good solid 6 hours. I really hate living so close to the water this time of the year.

  4. Temps fluctuated last night. Dropped to 30 by 1:30 am. Then rose to 35 by 4:00 am before dropping again to 28 by 6:00 am. Got above freezing by 8:00 am.  Light frost due to temp fluctuation but our first frost and temp in the 20's. Not sure if that would considered a hard freeze or not.

    We were also colder than advertised but only got to 32.7, seems impossible to freeze this year despite it not being that mild.  The tomatoes and peppers still carry on.

    Last year the cold didn't come until the end of the month. I had my 1st frost and freeze on the 30th. Had a light freeze the other morning but still waiting on my 1st hard freeze.
