  1. My wife got 2 pair after tearing a tendon in her foot the very FIRST TIME she went on snow/ice here after moving from California. I had her hand as we slowly crossed and said 'Now be careful, this stuff is" and she was down. Anyway, a pair stay in the house and one in the vehicle we take out now in the winter.
  2. Same here. I have a second-floor deck over a lower-level patio. 97.8852% of the time that patio has enough snow on it to brush off with a broom after a storm. Not this time! There is more on the patio than on the deck above.
  3. Same way it was doing it here at 11 degrees this morning?
  4. And the sleet is back, pretty good timing watching the radar for a restart time.
  5. I had 1.05 at 7 am this morning. I'm likely around 1.5-1.75 now.
  6. I am back to a snizzle here. Looking at radar, I may get a 30-45 minute pause before getting into the next round. Temp has popped up to warmest in last 24 hours at 16.1/13.0 at 3:15 pm. NWS lowered my forecasted 27 high at 7 am to 22 at noon and I likely won't make that either.
  7. Still sleet with some snow grains/dust here, intensity varies. Temp 14.1/10.2.
  8. So measured right at noon, 1.5 inches of new sleet. We had a small 20 minute break where we went back to a snizzle, but the sleet with some snow grains mixed in has returned. Currently 13.3/9.9 at noon. The snow still being compacted by the sleet, 5.0 currently OTG and untouched snowboard.
  9. We had that back in 2007 VD storm. Closed US 220 for about 3-4 hours until VDOT could get front end loaders there to clear. Was about 3 -4 feet deep!
  10. And looks like I'm headed for that dry slot in about 45 minutes or so. If it hits I'll measure. Currently 12.0/9.0 with sleet still falling.
  11. Yep. I had 3" at 1 am of all snow. At 5 when I got up it had changed and 4.5". But the 'snow' under the sleet was 2" at most.
  12. Well, in a way yes, but if these rates go thru your area I've had for last two hours, it is interesting.
  13. So you DIDN'T take my hint and pound that thing down to the 6" mark when installing the other day....
  14. Been a while (maybe never) when it is sleeting so hard (again, a few mangled flakes) that vis is .2-.5 mile. Temp finally budged up a hair after falling over 16 hours, currently 11.3/8.1 at 8:20 am. A solid .5 to .7 of new sleet/mix in 75 minutes!
  15. Just measured. 4.5 inches at 7 am. I measured 3.0 inches at 1 am before calling it a night and swapped gauges 0.34 in it. 1.05 inches when I measured and added together this am. Amazingly heavy sleet falling with an occasional clobbered flake mixed in. Temp is colder than 1 am, 10.6/7.9.
  16. At 11 pm I have 2.3 on the snowboard and the deck. 12.7/9.1 and pounding big flakes.
  17. Yep, I'm still dropping here. Now 12.8/9.3 at 10:30 and ALMOST heavy snow, really picking up.
  18. Yep, really got better in last hour. minimum dime dendrites with some almost quarters mixing in.
  19. Had 2 plus hours of that when it started here.
  20. Temp still dropping, 13.7/9.3 at 9:55 pm. Moderate snow.
  21. OK, just checked, exactly 1.0 inch on the snowboard and on the deck at 9:30 pm. Still 14.1/9.2. Flake size has increased at least 50% in last 10 minutes. It ONLY took 5.5 hours to reach an inch.
  22. Maybe, I think VDOT is broken down into about 8 or 10 districts across the state.
  23. What?!? I think VDOT pre-treated even the secondaries both Thursday AND Friday here.
