That's a good question. I had more than that in each of Jan and Feb of that year lol.

38.3(high)/37.4 at 4:45 pm with mod rain and fog. Just a smidge over 1/2" since 7 am here.

Still 37.7/36.9 at 12:45 pm with light rain and fog. About 1/3" has fallen since 7 am CoCoRaHS report.

Currently 35.1/34.0 with light rain. A couple times this morning I've went to a rain/snow mix when intensity picked up. Least I saw some mangled flakes. lol. I'd say above 2500-3000 it is likely all (or mostly) snow.

I was 50-50 this morning at 7 am, likely my last 'measurement' of SOTG (reported 1.0"). About 2-2.5" in shaded/north facing spots. Likely a 'T' for under 50% tomorrow. No complaints, been a nice 3 week period.

No snow action down this way, almost clear skies. What IS happening is the wind (again). Currently 36.4/17.6 with NW wind 14 gusting to 31 mph. Had a 37 mph gust a bit ago. The snowpack melted down to bare ground on S/SW facing slopes (20%) to 2-3" in shaded areas 80% over the past two days while it was warm, don't think there will be any melting next few days.

Samantha?

One more degree and I hit 50, currently 49.1/31.8 at 1:45 pm. Those 60's from Roanoke south look to try and make a run this way??

Sitting at -11.6 degrees for the month so far, and still a glaciated whiteness on the ground. Zero complaints for the month.

Temp hit 7.0 around 7:30 am yesterday morning, tied the record low for the day with 1989. Currently 19.4/14.4 at 8 am here with a partly cloudy sky (high cirrus). Even if NWS is off 8 degrees like yesterday, the 55 high forecasted will be mid/upper 40's, should see some melting.

Well, the first 'warm' day forecast was a fail. High was 35.3 degrees (at least above freezing) vs forecast of 43. A lot more clouds moved in around noon (or we'd have hit 43 easily) and temp locked right at 35 rest of day. Now down to 32.1/12.0 at 6 pm.

Low was 5.4 degrees, a new record for the date, beating 1995's 7 degrees. Currently 7.3/1.0 at 8 am.

Set a new 'cool max' for the date at 20.6 degrees. Old mark was 28 degrees from 2010 and 1995. Low this morning was 6.5 degrees, no record.

So back to the early/mid December look. Model atmospheric memory at work.

And wind, can't forget (is that possible?) the number of days we've gusted 30, 40, 50 mph this winter.
