14 for low NW of Staunton. Brrrr...

We have horses and are just glad they have somewhere to get out of the breeze when it gets into the teens tonight. Also good to see winds have been dying down for their sake.

28° and dropping NW of Staunton in Augusta County. 14° here we come!

Was 31 degrees with nice flurries on the way to work this morning.

The forecast high here is 31° tomorrow and low of 14° tomorrow night! I take, although I will be sitting by the wood stove for sure!

What punt? This board has pretty consistently been thinking a cold snap this week and next (with a small chance for a wave Dec 5/6 and a small chance for a second wave Dec 8-12) followed by a warm up before it gets cold again and we head towards peak climo in a moderate nino with some pretty nice analog years. People need to chill. Freaking out doesn’t make it snow. If it did, we would have been dumped on the last 3 years. All it does is make this board a more miserable place and turn off great posters like Bob Chill.

Been excited about this game since this morning! I scan radar for snow, look at models, and then whether there are football games scheduled inside the precip shield. A few years ago, a buddy of mine and I created an algorithm that looks at GPS text output by hour (specifically the qpf field and the 850 temp field) and then cross-referenced the NFL schedule to alert us for snow games. Tonight’s game looks like it will rank an 7 or 8 out of 10 on our snow game rating scale

Looks like 5-6” imby by the day after Christmas. I take this troll map, and gladly.

Had 5” here and lost power. My dad and I slept by the wood stove while my wife and kids and mom went to my mother-in-laws since their power stayed on.

Low of 30 in Churchville- 3rd straight sub freezing like others have said

Low around 22 this morning west of Staunton

No, but I am only a couple of miles from that VDOT location. Car thermometer said 15 to 18 degrees this morning on my commute. Radio was saying 19 degrees.

Craigsville and Hot Springs had a trace otg this morning out this way. Flurries here at work (Swoope) around 8:00am.

Had ice on the car for the first time this morning.

Staunton (within Augusta County) has education rates similar to Prince William, Stafford, King George, Richmond area, etc. Here is a newer, interactive map: https://statisticalatlas.com/state/Virginia/Educational-Attainment#data-map/county

Real about what?- that many people who live in cities stereotype rural populations as dumb and backwards? I have lived in the valley for nearly 30 years and have met many smart, thoughtful people and seen the arts and music scene thrive. There are doctors, lawyers, professors, engineers, meteorologists, etc that live here just like in urban areas. Sometimes stereotypes are just that.

No need to disparage my county bc of one man. There are plenty of ‘that shit’ in cities, too.

What did you do in Puerto Rico that was so bad?

Talking about snowflakes or ice mixing in for nw Augusta County and areas in the highlands and Alleghenies getting inches and even up to a foot of snow overnight and in the next day or so! Crazy for May 1st

Sleet mixing in with the rain here in Augusta county northwest of Staunton. Car thermometer says 38°

74°. About 20 mile an hour winds, but just had a gust to 45. North west of Staunton.

Yeah, crazy temp swings this time of year. NWS has a frost watch for Friday night and Saturday it rises to 72

Had frost in the morning and another warning from lwx tonight here in Augusta County, but other than these two evenings, it has been about normal to a little cold this month

It was not really bait as much as it was a comeuppance. He talked a lot of trash about not getting any snow in March and specifically mentioned me to rub it in, one of the only posters on here that just had a 12hr+ snowstorm. He talked a lot of shit and when I called him on it, he disappeared and ran away. He deserved my response and the fact he didn’t respond is telling.

No response to my post responding to your failed attempt at calling me out? Lol
