Finally getting a few flakes here, started a little before 5 am. Least it won't be a goose egg at 7 am report time. Currently light snow and 12.9/5.5.

At midnight 16.0/7.1. NE wind 5 gusting to 11 mph. High was 28.3, we seemed to hit a spot between 1-3 pm where the clouds went to just high cirrus and winds calmed and we warmed up. Actually not a bad early afternoon. Still haven't seen a snowflake, although just 40 miles south Roanoke has reported a few hours of light snow.

I think the state record is -37, lets shoot for that.

Yep, what was simply wonderful was the 3-4 hour period midafternoon where we were almost calm on the winds.

11.1 degrees here at 7 am. Temp dropped to about 10 degrees then locked once the clouds rolled in about midnight.

Lots I'd like to say about this post, but I'll keep the peace.... for now.

22.4/3.6 at 6:15 pm after a 25.1 high.

LOL, I wouldn't take that bet out this way. Way more wind after the sun sets last week or so, finally dies about an hour or two before sun rise.

I'd bring a cookie pan or baking pan with you, just in case.

Looks like the woodstove is gonna keep on chugging.

So, jogging around CoCoRaHS site yesterday and today to check my records (all basically stored there since 2007, all previous is on paper and a chore to look thru, I need to spend a day and place them somewhere electronically) and found this gem from 2014- an incredible event.

Hmm, looks like @stormtracker has picked up a new (or maybe just unknown to the masses) name, persons of power!!

Yep, I think the last 3 nights it has done that here. Windy/breezy during the day, but once the sunsets the wind gusts go into overdrive!

Low was 9.4 at 7 am. Temp stayed in low teens overnight as the winds cranked in 20's and 30's (and WC's in the -10 range). Finally wind calmed to under 10 mph late and temp dropped to low right at 7 am CoCoRaHS reading. I passed on doing a SWE this morning to give myself and the tools a break, lol. The 5 inches of concrete just isn't enjoyable trying to get thru and up. Temp still dropping, 8.8/-0.1 at 8 am.

One thing I will say those are some high-quality graphics for such a new model lol.
