The vast majority of snow is always on the margin to begin with. Margins of being barely cold enough. Rare is the snow falling with temps in the teens. It's usually 27 - 32F. Add 3F background warmth to that ... we're cooked. Literally and figuratively.
We smoked so much cirrus out in Cross Junction I failed a drug test. We didn't get a single flake out there. Remember driving into town the next morning and hit snow dusting at the Virginia Farm Market. About 2 inches at our office in Kernstown. Went over to my place in Front Royal that evening and there was over 4" on the ground. Unreal.
I remember back when clippers would give us cold, fluffy snow.
Thankful for some rain at least.
* .21". Pretty wet for a clipper here. That would've been a nice snowfall with a 15 - 20 ratio.
