Wow, that is like 35-40 to 1 ratios.

I've opened the box of pandora!

Awesome! Congrats and best wishes going forward.

Not quite as south as Roanoke, but looking back at my records, Dec 2010 was a fun month. 12.6" snow, 19 days of SOG, 13 days with a 'T', 8 days with measurable snow and only 10 days snowless. I'd take a repeat. And yes, it snowed on 24th and 25th here that year, about 3 inches total.

Yep. Been a while since we've had a snow fall and accumulate on everything and STAY. Usually we end up with 20-30 mph winds after and it all gets blown out/off.

Two edged sword. It beats down what snow you have on the ground, BUT it has a lot of staying power and is there long after the snow is gone.

That was a nice workout, shoveled the driveway and sidewalks out. By driveway I mean a paved 10 foot by 1400 foot area, lol. Plus, the sidewalks and stairways. Hasn't crossed freezing all day, currently 30.8/28.3 with a drizzle/snizzle thing falling since the snow stopped around 11 am.

I'm in-between Covington and Clifton Forge, had 5.3 at 11 am.

This takes slant sticking to a completely different level!

Did you get your wood taken care of?

*raises hand*

Looks good Bob!

Now WHAT would make you think other-wise??

OK, I called it. Sent a snow total report to NWS Blacksburg about 10 minutes ago. 1.5" on snowboard at 11 am, added to the 3.8" at 7 am, a 5.3" total. 5.0" OTG currently. STILL a few flurries and snow grains falling, but it isn't gonna add to the totals. I will say models and NWS did a good job here, forecast was 4-7". MOST models had us in 4-6" range, a couple outliners in the 6-9" range.

Takes that back, snow has picked up and on radar a decent batch to my west to push thru, I'll wait a bit. WAS gonna measre and send in a snow event total to NWS Blacksburg, maybe later. Eyeballing where I've cleared earlier guesstimate 1.5 has fallen since 7 am.
