With light snow it will. During Jan 6 storm with light snow at 29F, plowed sections of parking lots and streets and my shoveled sidewalks and driveway melted that afternoon prior to the late afternoon/evening ULL snow. Granted, I had episodes of filtered sunlight. But if we get a .3" qpf storm and warm ground leading in, my expectations are very low. But, maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised by qpf rates for once.
Not to mention this is falling in the afternoon with max solar insolation. .3" QPF, even if we get it, is going to be a very minor event. Honestly, not getting the enthusiasm for this system. But, as always, hoping for the best.
It was snowing hard in winchester about an hour ago. Beautiful parachutes. Left costco and there was about 1/2" of slushy snow on cars, patches on asphalt, and whitened ground. Continued snowing nicely until i hit stephens city limits. Snow tapered to very light fine flakes per normal and there was nothing on the ground. Got to my house and the driveway wasn't even wet. Truly the armpit of VA.
Yep, another day soaring well above forecast. It was supposed to remain below freezing today ..... high of 36F. More significant melting. Ground here is 50% bare. Only the protected areas, and piles, remain. This cold pattern is a joke.
Thank you. I was going to ask if you've been to Wisp and how this crowd compares. It sounds much less crowded. I will keep this in mind the next time I go tubing.
