Sun just broke out from behind the clouds, that made the ice in the trees REALLY sparkle. Won't last long though, sunshine pushed temp up two degrees to 34.8 degrees just before noon.

My numbers for the month of November 2025 Averaged high was 55.5 degrees vs a normal of 55.4 degrees, +0.1 degree above average. The warmest day was the 6th with a 72.3 degree reading. Average low was 33.1 degrees vs a normal of 31.0 degrees, +2.1 degrees above average. The coldest temp was 16.7 degrees on the 30th. Overall averaged temp was 44.3 degrees vs a normal of 43.2 degrees, a +1.1 degrees above average. Total precip for the month was 1.34 inches vs a normal of 2.78 inches, -1.44 inches below average. The wettest day was on the 22nd with 0.40" falling. There were 11 days with measurable, 4 days with a 'T' and 15 dry days. Total snowfall for the month was 0.2 inches vs a normal of 0.3 inches, -0.1 inches below average. Greatest snowfall was on the 11th and 30th with 0.1 inches falling. There were two days with measurable, 5 days with a 'T' and 23 snowless days. Highest wind recorded for the month was 52 mph on the 17th. There were 16 days with winds exceeding 25 mph. Two new records for the month, both 'cool maxes' on the 11th and 12th. Overall a dry and windy month with a fairly average temp worked out by a warm start, a cold middle, then another warm spell late month with a cold blast last 3 days. Records back to Oct 1979. Small edit- the 1.34 inches places 6th driest for November, behind 2001's 0.41, 2021's 0.63, 2017's 0.70, 2012's 0.79 and 1981's 0.92".

Yep, nice to just get the moisture in here!

Looked like that here about dawn as light filtered in, but it was all sleet from earlier. Now 50% gone with the heavier rain/freezing rain falling. I reported 0.2" for the sleet (that was on the board), there was 0.53" in the gauge of sleet and freezing rain once it all melted. Oh what a degree up a bit higher would have done.... currently at 8 am right at 32.0/31.7 with rain/freezing rain. About 0.1 of ice in trees and elevated stuff.

And it has started here, as freezing rain and sleet..... oh well. Currently 29.5/25.3. Off for a nap.

Sitting at 29.1/25.0 at 12:45 am. Precip isn't too far off per radar. Checking a bit south nothing reported at Blacksburg at 34/24 although radar has shown precip for last 30 minutes there.

Well, there is your answer. Currently 28.0/22.1. A steadying/small climb in temp and DP in last hour after clouding over.

27.7/21.4 now, clouded over in last 10 minutes

Still clear here, temp down to 28.8/21.7. Looking on satellite I'm on the very northern side of the high cirrus going W to E. Probably another hour before the clouds start filling in. MIGHT see some snow before it goes all sleet/freezing rain, just gonna have to wait and see.

For those pushing the 'colder' ideas, I topped at 39.1 here after a 43 degree forecasted high. Currently 37.5/21.0. My chances of snow are much slimmer than further north, but it MAY start that way and get us white before the sleet and freezing rain take over. Edit, in the time between looking to check and type this and now (maybe 5 minutes) I've dropped to 35.9/21.1.

The 'big thump' is exactly what is needed to get the very marginal spots to get accumulation before it warms a bit, best of luck to all of us! Whether we get snow or not, I think tomorrow is gonna be a dicy travel day, especially from the fall line west.

It'd just drop to 38 degrees then.

DCA: -4.4 NYC: -3.1 BOS: -3.3 ORD: -4.7 ATL: -2.5 IAH: -0.7 DEN: -0.9 PHX: +0.8 SEA: +2.3 DCA: 15.6 NYC: 28.6 BOS: 41.1 ORD: 30.3 DTW: 45.5 BUF: 101.5 DEN: 66.2 SEA: 4.7 BTV: 93.3

Flakes falling and 29.7/20.9. That means 'Shoe probably has 2 inches at least lol.

Wishing all a happy and safe Thanksgiving!
