  1. Freezing rain wiped away my trace of snow, but ice is cool, too, I guess!
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. Light snow, 32°. Starting to accumulate. .
  5. Snow and sleet falling from the sky and 33 degrees. NW of Staunton in Augusta County
  6. 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!
  7. I grew up just south of Saratoga Springs. Had 60”+ in an average winter. Please bring it back with you!
  8. Beautiful ice patterns on the car this morning. Flurries on and off today- currently on. Pretty flakes on the picnic table out back!
  9. 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.
  10. I think he said the 28th there was going to be a snowstorm and we needed to just deal with it.
  11. Saw snow mixed with rain in the 11-12 range, but mostly rain and no sleet observed. nw of Staunton in Augusta County
  12. 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".
  13. Ice storm with a little snow here in Augusta County. Different date, same storm we have had 3 times previously. From Pivotal:
  14. Incoming! Another sleet/freezing rain storm for the valley. Yay. Man, this winter is breaking even my general optimism for snow chances! lol
  15. Same for my location in western augusta county
  16. Maybe nationwide that is true (I don’t know), but a quick search shows that at least parts of Japan have been experiencing record snowfall. “Heavy snowfall across Japan” and “some parts of the country are reporting 3 times their annual snowfall” and “December snowfall records set” and “24 hour snowfall records set” etc and this is all after last year’s crazy amount of snow in Japan
