Yep, my current NWS forecast is 39/21 for Thanksgiving Day.

But it was a glorious week lol.

.40" in the gauge this am, most in a 24 hour period this month and brings monthly total to 1.03". Quite warm for a late November morning, 56.5/55.6 with rain continuing to fall.

Who hacked this account?

Yep, on the 18th NWS called for a 55 high here. Stuck in the upper 30's all day, high was 41.5 at midnight and then locked between 40-41 overnight until 7 am.

Currently 44.0/41.6 at 8 am, dropped to 40 around midnight, but went up a bit when the clouds moved in.

Only .21" measured after it sprinkled and lightly to at times moderately rained for 12 plus hours yesterday. Makes .63" for the month now. Temp was 41.3 at 7 am report time, warmed to 40-41 around midnight and stayed there all night after being in the 30's majority of the day. Currently 51.8/46.7 at 10:45 under partly cloudy skies.

Never saw anything 'flakage-wise' today, not even splats, all rain.

Finally hit 40 degrees! 40.2/38.0 at 5:15 pm.

True. Actually dropped a bit in last hour, now 38.2/36.1 with that light rain at 2 pm. I am RIGHT on the edge of the precip, and 30 miles south of me as the crow flies it is in the low 50's. NWS says my high is 55 for today, MIGHT make that if the rain clears out and get a little sun, otherwise I'm thinking 44/45.

Still waiting to break 40 degrees. It hit 39.7 about an hour ago, now 38.8/36.5 with light rain falling.

Just got home for the day, was 28 degrees down at the river on car thermometer, 37.4 here at the house 1/3 mile away and 300 foot higher in elevation.

Limbs/branches and a couple trees down in the area. I had a 51 mph gust about 15 minutes ago.

Until it isn't, like today, lol.

Picked up 0.17" overnight here. It was 55.1 degrees at 7 am, which was the low for the period, not a new 'warm minimum', that still stands from 2005's 58 degree reading. High was 65.6 degrees, also not near a record high as the 72 from 2005 remains. Windy overnight, currently WNW at 16 gusting to 29 mph at 8 am and 53.7/44.7 under mostly cloudy skies.

Went to bed around midnight in low 40's, woke at 6 am to 55 degrees! Currently cloudy skies and 55.3/39.8 at 7:45 am.

30.7 low here, least the winds finally backed off this morning.

Start looking for a house/property E or W of downtown. They ruined 77 north of town (took 3 free lanes to two free, two toll and the free are packed stop/go 24/7, although if you wish to pay to drive I think they average 50 cars a day on the tolled lanes) and about to start the same on 77 south of downtown starting next year (so construction), just a FYI.

I set 8 new either record lows or 'cool maxes' between 1/292017 and 1/9/2018, lowest temp was -2.8 degrees. Warmest was 32.8 degrees. Below 20 degrees for 79 hours between 1/5 and 1/8.

Well, the wind machine is back on here. Been breezy (15-25 mph at times) from W most of afternoon, soon as the sun set it hit another gear. Just had a 38 mph gust 5 minutes ago. Currently W at 24 gusting to 35.

Being that my grandparents lived in Rainelle or Quinwood for 40 years I feel I can throw a 'shade' of light on this. Rt 20 from Bellwood to Nettie either sits on or is JUST east of the first large ridge and then drop with the upslope. A LOT of squeezing of moisture happens there. I've seen 4" in Rainelle, 10" in Quinwood and a trace in Sam Black Church from the same event. There is a small place called Hines that was a cut-off (especially in marginal set-ups) where I've witnessed literally a line in/on Rt 60 for snow to dry several times. Snowshoe and Canaan have at least one decent ridge and fall into a valley before climbing again, especially with a more W or WNW wind. Thanksgiving and Christmas were ALWAYS a joy when I was younger, it meant a 90% chance of white on the ground. One Christmas we almost didn't make it, and the snow was as deep as the mailboxes! (that was in Quinwood) I think further northeast towards 'Shoe and Canaan they need a slightly different wind direction to get the really big snows and beat the Quinwood area. A NW to WNW wind seems to favor Quinwood, a NW/NNW seems to favor 'Shoe and north.

Set a new 'cool max' for the date of 37.8 degrees, beating (barely) the 39.0 from 2018 and 1996. Temps climbed here after midnight when it was in upper 20's to 37.4 degrees at 7 am. Although radar looked good last night for about an hour, nothing made it to the ground.

Wasn't paying attention (snow does that, right?) so there was a record to report. The 36.3 degree high is a new 'cool minimum', beating 1996's 39 degrees.

Just got back from going to Beckley WV. Looks like high here was 37.8 degrees around 4pm, low was 19.5, not a bad day for Veterans Day. Going west late this am snow depth picked up immediately west of Covington, around 1-2 in White Sulphur Springs and Lewisburg, about 2.5/3 around Sam Black Church and then 3-4 in Beckley itself. A chilly day over there, warmest I saw on the car thermometer was 33. Currently 33.0/19.1 at 6:10 pm here.
