Cat 4 .. 8:30 update per nhc..130 mph

Alot cooler so far than yesterday in eastern Augusta County at least so far in my backyard....89 and overcast...

1.52 inches of rain just over Afton mt from Crozet at the edge of Waynesboro, very little thunder despite being near the tornado warning.... some brief winds...

All snow here now at least at the moment..... heavy enough even after 1.5 inches of rain and 37 degrees , its starting to accumulate like slushy ice cream on the cars and on the back deck....

Just hit 1.5 in of rain down here in my back yard near Waynesboro, at the foot of Afton... temp drop from 40 to 37 with huge snowflakes mixing in with the rain....

Moderate/heavy snow just started in around Waynesboro , dusting now on the ground... this mornings dusting had long since melted ..

Closing in on another inch of rain down here near Waynesboro..... Getting very close now to 90 inchs of moisture in my backyard since this wet pattern began in early March last year....

Good luck out that way ! Just light rain here in eastern Augusta..

We might get 3 hecs in a season before we get one real ice storm Unfortunately we had our 20+ yr ice storm back in Nov.... drive across Afton Mountain towards Waynesboro, looks like a giant hand of God karate chopped the tops off of every single tree ...

And still nada 55 miles south of you in the Waynesboro area...... dry dry air...

Still virga as far south as Waynesboro, east Augusta county....

Just drove home from work 45 min ago on 64 from just east of CHO over Afton mountain into eastern Augusta and did not encounter a single flake.....( yeah I know that could mean something more than snow ! ) .....

It wasnt alot... I'm on the other side not far from route 340.... There was thunder and lightining on 29 south of Covesville earlier... And some people posting on DTs page from Lynchburg about thunder... Energetic atmosphere this evening....

Little off topic for this upcoming system .. been seeing alittle bit of lightining down here near Afton Mt... first lightining/thunder of the year !

While its only rain here at the foot of Afton Mt, there is over a half inch of ice on the trees and signs on the very top of Afton and particularly along the road past Swannanoa a couple hundred feet higher up .......
