  1. 60° here in Augusta County at 1550’. Waiting on my Wednesday morning snow
  2. I will try to get this in before pbp for the venerable Icon. Here is current snow cover in the US. TX, OK, and AR didn’t used to have snow pack every year, did they? That’s some crazy recent history which is likely to regress to the mean, in my opinion. Soon we shall have snowy times. Hopefully it happens this winter! And soon!
  3. I hear you. Hope you feel better soon. I have resorted to looking to chase possibly. I tend towards seasonal depression and snow is its kryptonite. Likewise craft beer and the strains I cultivate, but snow is the best. Hope we can cash in on a forum-wide 1-3/2-4 event at least before this winter turns to spring. We had some heavy sideways flurries for an hour or so today, so that helped a little.
  4. Reverse psychology, or have you really gone negative on us when we most need your positive vibes? Lol
  5. Why? Not joking or putting it down. Just seriously want to know! Is there an ecological benefit? Or do you just think they are cool and they are like pets? But yeah, those look similar to the tomato plant eaters. And the horn worms they try to sell us at the pet store for my son’s bearded dragon.
  6. After all the suppression depression from the GFS, can we go back to talking about happy hour drinks now? Lol In actuality, we all know ensembles are more important this far out, so the fact the ops are showing chances and nearby snow is the take away. Still love @jayyy’s post from a little while back so I saved it:
  7. Freezing rain wiped away my trace of snow, but ice is cool, too, I guess!
  8. Mostly rain here now in Augusta County with some bb sized sleet balls. I know this because they feel different than raindrops and actually hurt a little when traveling 20mph on an atv. Lol
  9. This ‘trainwreck’ is much appreciated, though. Lol. First time I have seen accumulating snow (rather than accumulating sleet) this winter. It also gives my family of four a much needed break from the daily routine and school since my wife and I are both teachers. Time to get the wood stove roaring and watch light snow falling from the sky.
  10. Light snow, 32°. Starting to accumulate. .
  11. Snow and sleet falling from the sky and 33 degrees. NW of Staunton in Augusta County
  12. So, I teach math in HS as one of my jobs. 20% of tracking winter weather for me is tracking ‘snow’ days off for my wife (also a teacher) and my son in HS and my daughter in MS, so it is cool that Augusta County, and Staunton, and Waynesboro are all out tomorrow. But 80% is getting enough snow to sled with the kids and plow and make snow angels and have snowball fights, etc. Not sure we will be able to do this tomorrow, unfortunately!
  13. I grew up just south of Saratoga Springs. Had 60”+ in an average winter. Please bring it back with you!
  14. Beautiful ice patterns on the car this morning. Flurries on and off today- currently on. Pretty flakes on the picnic table out back!
  15. I would take the 2" the CMC or 3" the GFS or the 3-4" the Euro is showing in western Augusta County in a heartbeat! Interested to see what the 12Z suite shows, especially the Euro and NAMs. It is a super sharp gradient so every little bit of CAD will make a big difference for some.
  16. I think he said the 28th there was going to be a snowstorm and we needed to just deal with it.
  17. Saw snow mixed with rain in the 11-12 range, but mostly rain and no sleet observed. nw of Staunton in Augusta County
  18. I live NW of Churchville (outside of Staunton- so about 35 minutes to your NW) and have had about 1.5" of sleet/snow this year lol. Had about an inch from the 12/15 storm. Last time I saw snow without rain or sleet mixing in was 11/17 and 11/18 when it was flurries. Hope it gets better soon. 2020 was a pitiful winter, but at least we eked out 3 snowstorms for a measly 7".
