Well, JUST missed on the record low, hit 17.0 degrees. BUT I didn't realize until looking at the records again this morning that the 32.0 degrees ties the 'cool max' for the day, tied with 2014 now. Currently 18.2/13.1 with partly cloudy skies at 8 am.

Currently 24.1/13.0 at 9:30 pm here after a day of on and off flurries and a high just touching the freezing mark at 32.0 degrees. Record low is 16 from 1993, although NWS forecast is a low of 19, IF we get the winds to calm we could get close to the record.

Almost a nickel this time, lol! 11/11 0.1 11/30 0.1 12/02 0.2 (sleet) 12/05 3.8 12/06 1.5 12/08 0.5 12/09 5.1 01/17 0.1 01/25 4.5 (mix of snow and sleet) 01/26 2.8 (95-97% sleet) 02/04 0.3 02/07 1.0 02/23 0.2 03/13 0.1 03/17 0.4 Total 20.7

Down to 33.1/30.0 here with moderate snow, lol. I dropped 22 degrees in 90 minutes earlier.

Will those pass thru TSA???

Well, rain is turning to snow here, lol. Currently 37.7/33.1 with NW wind 11 gusting to 30 mph. Temp has dropped 22 degrees in 90 minutes.

Yep, a line from Farmville to Richmond looks good currently. Be safe and have fun!

Things are popping down S and SE of Roanoke into NC, currently 3 separate TOR warnings.

Decent squally type shower rolling thru here now at 8 am. Things already popping to the south with STW from Lynchburg/Roanoke to the south and down on the NC/TN line just south of Boone (where a TOR Warning just expired). Probably need a few breaks for some surface heating, but looks to be a rocking day, especially to the east.

Raining now and 58.8/56.2 degrees at 7:50 am. Had 0.65" at 7 am when I dumped the CoCoRaHS gauge. Temp warmed 14 degrees overnight! Lots of 'lines' pushing thru this morning and off to my SW.

When a person that lived with Santa Ana winds in southern California for 35 years says they are tired of this 'blanking wind' in only 5 years, yeah, we do wind well.
