i'm going to shut all the blinds and curtains as soon as it starts because it will melt eventually and so the start of any storm is the end of any enjoyment. and yes I am referencing a real post that was made in this community before a previous big snow.

fake snow is serious business.

a low of 5 which makes it the coldest night so far this winter. currently 7.

I still want a sleet bomb storm with thunder.

i had to talk half of the neighborhood ladies brigade text group of the ledge this morning.

100% on the weather sisters. the old DC-ish crew from when I lived in DC. my "new" I-81 buddies. and a few people from outside the region who still stop by because they also remember the one giant forum days. this is my 21st year with this crazy community.

flurries have begun

.7" already. good event. 44F and chicken soup in the stock pot.

the first one was about 45-60 minutes before the line came through and the second one was after we'd settled back to sleep after the squall, lol. Martinsburg gusted to 43.

phone wx alert about an hour ago woke us up, then the squall woke us up when the power briefly went out. everything is covered. it was pretty impressive with nearly whiteout conditions.

Martinsburg gusted to 60 overnight. i can’t remember another night since i moved to WV where the end howled like that at night.

high of 52 a few hours ago, now 47. Martinsburg airport gusted to 56 last hour and yes, the power did flicker. i hate this stupid, useless wind.

we had a little sleet, then a little freezing rain, and then some spotty rain, and now it's just cold and dry. I'm happy not to have the ice.
