Canaan Valley NWR

31.6 there at 7:15 this morning

They oopsied on the forecasted low here, was 42. I glanced around the local area, and I am actually one of the warmer numbers, range is from 34 to my 39. Pretty sure someone got frost that wasn't called for.

Well, rolled right thru the 40's and got down to 39.6 overnight! Currently 39.9/39.0 at 7:50 am. EDIT- checked not even close to the record, which is 31 from 1983.

Sun has poked out in the last 30 minutes here, 59.0/50.2 with NE winds about 10 mph.

Low was 48.9 degrees. Currently 49.0/48.2 with light drizzle and a bit of fog, delightful!

How? Looking at national, regional and local radars shows a goose egg. Apparently, radar is down nation-wide at 2:30 pm.

Well that took care of the outside stuff, lol. Quick thundershower dropped about .20" with some gusty winds. Also dropped the temp about 15 degrees. Currently light rain and 70.0/68.9.

Been 12 for me. I know NWS Blacksburg is having a basic class on the 17th at VT. Bit too far to go to. When I took what was then a 'refresher' back in 2014 at the local community college they even let me give a small spill/push for CoCoRaHS at the end to the other folks there.

Can't confirm THAT much, but I got 1.19", about 5-6 miles W of CF.

Got lucky! And set records, lol. 1.19" of rain fell, breaking 1989's 0.71", and set a second consecutive record 'warm minimum' with 67.8 degrees, also breaking 1989's 67 degree reading. Looked like we were going to join the miss club, then around midnight a rumble or two of thunder and heavy rain fell for about two hours.

BARELY set a new record 'warm minimum' with 67.2 degrees here, record was 67 from 1989.

Well, enough sprinkles to dot the deck around 6 pm, a 'T' I guess......

Looking like an outstanding day for a parade. Currently 71.1/60.3 with partly cloudy skies at 11 am.
