Looks like I hit the 'high' today about 2 pm at 42.2 degrees. Now down to 40.5/8.1 with WNW wind 15 gusting to 31 mph. Yeah ANOTHER windy day, just shocked!

Yep. In the 02/14/2007 storm the sleet ran down the chutes/ravines on Rt 220 between Clifton Forge and Iron Gate and closed the road! It was 3-4 feet deep and took VDOT about 4 hours to get both lanes opened again.

23.4 for the low this morning. Currently 36.3/12.9 at 10:35 am.

LOL, as I put up the last post church sent out text, no services Sunday.

So true, many, many days I loaded up onto the bus as the snow was falling and roads had been covered for a couple hours. Can't remember the year (but I was in elementary, so pre 1976) and the older teens got off the bus and helped the driver put the chains on the bus, going TO school. Our route picked everyone up in neighborhood and dropped the youngsters off at elementary before taking HS kids on to school. That is a no-no nowadays, as is the fact that 90% of the time the last stop or two STOOD in the isle because the seats were full.

I wish they'd quit filling my spam email filter with requests for overdue credit card payments! Especially since I've never dealt with them before.

You think it'll be that low (for Norrisville)?

Ditto. I think I've had a moment or two of 'losing it' over the past 2/3 days. Why? Anyway, decided to enjoy whatever falls, I've set my mind to 8-10 at a max, probably 3 inches of sleet on top of maybe 6 inches of front end snow. Gonna just chill for the day, try to clear this nasty hack/cough/cold stuff I've now battled for a week plus. Wishing all as much snow and sleet as possible and as little freezing rain as possible.

Wish I could add a few zeros to my 100% to this!

Only 'thought' I have on it is agreeing with you (and many others that DO have a degree in meteorology) that Euro has big issues with sleet vs freezing rain. I'm hoping for a lot more sleet vs freezing rain, for everyone.

No PC or vac tubes, lol. It had been 'upgraded' a few times, but the original install was mid 70's, they got their money out of it.

All in all, I agree. Biggest 'issue' I have is staying out of the frz rain. If it snows 6 inches, great, snows 10? Awesome. 4" of snow and 3" of sleet? OK. Even more than 10 of snow? Bonus.

LOL, sounds like my workplace. Last 14 years I was there I worked a 'temp 6 month changeover' going from a DOS system (yes, in 2009) to not one, but two systems that DID NOT communicate with each other (mainly because financial side wanted to 'see' everything and the actual machine/field side thought that system was too complicated). An interface was built to do the hand-offs, but it NEVER worked right and was a pure disaster at the first location down in Texas when we went down to put it online. That '6 month project' I rode out on until I retired, it did get slightly better the last 3 years, but wow. The 'savings' claimed by the folks that came up with that cost each location a minimum of four new people/positions to babysit and fix the errors/failures.

Eyeballing those panels looks like about 11" here. 8" snow and 3" sleet then a .1 of ice. That is OK, minus that the OTG total after it stops will be in the 7" range. It'll be around a while though.
