  1. More than a coating out here! Hope it juices up more for the metros though and/or you all get a decent hit Sunday.
  2. Supposed to get down to 14° tonight!
  3. Yes, 15 hours straight here and still snowing lightly when I just went out for a Jebwalk. It was quiet and 19°, with the snow crunching under my feet. Awesome!
  4. Still snowing and 20°. About 4 1/2 inches so far, although hard to measure with the gusts today.
  5. Snow started in the 5 o’clock to 6 o’clock range. Steady snow now at 31° and dropping. It's windy as heck, so this is fun to watch! About 1 inch so far.
  6. Remarkable how similar the end result looks like it could be to the last storm for mby (NW of Staunton in Augusta County) and points south. The snow should be arriving in similar morning hours with similar temperatures and similar 2 to 4 inch amounts across the county. The trends are good as well, just like Friday. Cautiously optimistic for a 4-day weekend for my family!
  7. I am liking the trends north and the trend towards more amped and organized that I was hoping for in my post last night. I am west of you in the valley, but have been enjoying your posts lately as someone that has skin in the game at my latitude. Please keep it up!
  8. Hoping that Monday/Tuesday BobChill storm gets slightly more organized before the high pressure dropping in from the north shreds it. The precipitation field might reach me if that happens.
  9. 31° and very light snow. Don’t think it is adding anything significant to my total at this point though. Been snowing now for 15 hours! Nice little storm. NW of Staunton in Augusta County.
  10. Yessir! Nice and toasty inside! Measured 3.6” for storm total.
  11. Measured 3.3” an hour or two ago. Still lightly snowing and 32° here northwest of Staunton in Augusta County.
  12. It has been a busy week, but it’s a 40 ft walk and an electric chainsawing away for dried, seasoned wood in the wood stove.
  13. 31° and just started snowing here northwest of Staunton in Augusta County about 20 minutes ago when I was chainsawing some wood.
  14. When I was an undergraduate there in the mid 90s, they canceled classes for the second time ever in the history of UVA from 1819. I wonder how many times they have canceled since then?
  15. I'm not a met, but your expectations seem to be in line with the latest guidance. I graduated from UVa twice, so I am familiar with how beautiful the grounds get with a nice coat of white powder. Enjoy!
  16. Model trends seem good for increased amounts in central and western VA and the precip shield extending up to the metros.
  17. My wife's grandfather used to talk about the March 6, 1962 storm. The forecasters the night before were calling for a few inches, and they woke up to a blizzard that ended up dropping 30.5" in Staunton.
  18. I thought all that play by play was for Friday
  19. Anyone have the GFS clown map? edit: I jumped the gun. I will be patient. Lol
  20. Saw flurries yesterday and last night for the 5th or 6th time this year, which is a good sign. 32° currently under a winter weather advisory tonight here in Augusta County northwest of Staunton.
  21. Anomaly Correlation Coefficient (ACC) has increased by about 20% over the last 20 years for 5 day lead times and nearly 30% for 7 day lead times. It has increased about 60% for 10 day leads!! Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is down by 23% at 5 day leads. These numbers are all from the GFS and ECMWF.
