Off to get a nap, will report back later.

Looked close, and JUST right at an inch at 12:45. That is 90 minutes to make an inch. Currently 29.9/27.5 with snow falling.

Cutting wood at midnight???

Brings back great memories when son was home and learning to snowboard.

About the same here. Nice almost quarter sized flakes. 31.5/27.0.

And went from small pixie type flakes to dime and nickel sized ones within minutes.

And I have flakes falling from the sky now, 32.2/26.5.

Snow just started in Roanoke.

Looking at traffic cams, snowing in Blacksburg and Beckley WV, draw a line between the two for forward progress of the snow. Currently 32.0.26.7 here and waiting.

Well, forecast was updated about 20 minutes ago, right there on the edge of WSW criteria -

Bumped up again, now 65% chance at 4", a 38% chance at 6" and a 10% chance at 8". NWS bumped forecast to 3-6 total.

Appears River/bay enhanced?? Would a model pick up something like that?

May be the first time I've seen an 'anti DC snowhole' on a snow map.

NWS has WWA for 2-4 here, we shall see. Funny that the 'high end' keeps going up, yesterday at this time my location had a 30% chance at 4" and a 5% chance of 6". As of the last update I'm now at 55% chance of 4", 30% chance of 6" and 5% chance at 8". Think that may be high unless we get 15 to 18-1 ratios. I'll be thrilled with the 2-4 in forecast verifying.

There are two micro climates on either side of the mountains from spring thru early fall there for about a 30-50 mile stretch S to N. When the wind direction is S to SW and storms form a tornado/hail alley is common from Greenville up to Grottoes on Rt 340 corridor and east side likes to form severe T-storms from C'ville up to Culpeper on Rt 29. I'm 99% sure the ridge there enhances stuff.
