  1. If you're trying to break 1999's record high, yes.
  2. For what feels like the 300th time since Christmas we had a non-diurnal temp event here overnight. Temp was 33.0 at 10 pm, then slowly climbed to the current 36.4/25.8 at 7 am. In and out of clouds overnight, windy/gusty SW winds after midnight (28 mph gust).
  3. Might be here, lol. Was 23.9 for a low, currently 49.6 at 1:20 pm. What we HAVE succeeded in is another 'windy' day, already had a 26 WSW wind at 12:13 pm. Currently W at 11 gusting 19 mph. Amazing that the forecast at 7 am said nothing about winds until late afternoon when they 'may increase to 7-12 mph', fail. I still say we could have a 1050 high right overhead and still manage a 25-30 mph wind gust somehow.
  4. Careful, I mentioned something along this line yesterday and we got 2 pages doom and gloom!
  5. Currently 25.6/16.7 after a 23.9 low. Supposed to be near 50 with light winds today, looks like a good day to take Christmas down outside.
  6. Oh, I'm NOT 'doom and gloom', more irritated at following 10-30 day outlooks when I should know better. Yes, the 'uppers' have looked great most of the winter (well, except for that Christmas week, which it did a great job of picking up) and then the closer we get to those 'good looks'.....
  7. The problem I have is, there's ALWAYS lots of chances, then slowly as we close in on the dates..... *poof*. This is true with 90% of all the models. I'd rather they show nothing and then hone in on an idea 5-7 days out, a LOT less exhausting. Maybe I (we) need to just watch the first 1/4-1/2 of the model runs and go from there.
  8. Maybe that restart thing will work...... this time?
  9. We ALWAYS have wind. We could have a 1050 high right overtop of us and we'd have 20 mph winds.
  10. Two separate 5 minute squalls came thru here today, one at noon, other around 2:30 pm. Both coated everything then done, but pretty as it fell. Currently 30.3/14.5 at 5 pm with W 12 gusting 22 winds. That is one thing we haven't missed on, gusts between 30-40 mph all day.
  11. Well got 3 flakes from that first line, lol. A bigger (and snow squall warned) line headed this way, let us see if it makes it. Currently 36.8/25.0 and cloudy. 0.89" of rain from yesterday's event, much needed.
  12. It has soared to 50.2/49.6 at 11:45 am with rain and fog. Eyeballing the gauge looks like another .25-.33 has fallen. Time to refire the woodstove, it got a break with the mid 50's temps last few days, but that will be long gone by this time tomorrow.
  13. Well I certainly like the trends this run. Steps in the right direction.
  14. 0.13" at 7 am CoCoRaHS report time and 49.3/49.0 with light rain and fog. Hoping for a lot more! Maybe another 3-4 hundredths since.
  15. At 7 am it was 43.5/39.3 after hitting 37.6 around 2 am. Amazing the number of times that has happened since Christmas.
  16. Well, we have half the championship game, Miami beat 'Ol Miss 31-27. ACC shows up.
  17. I've been lucky a few times in last 6-7 years. I'm hoping for an AREA WIDE major hit, it is needed.
  18. Acceptable. Now we only have to wait 10 days, or until next run.
  19. So @Bob Chillmoved and took the snow with him?
  20. 39.2/33.5 at 11:30 pm. Forecast low was 41. I think the mostly clear skies that started about two hours ago throwing things off.
  21. Clouded over around 10 am, currently 54.2/34.4 at 2:30 pm with some radar returns overhead though nothing reaching the ground.
  22. Best event was the 15.9" of snow on 2/12. Even got a call from NWS Blacksburg confirming what I had on the ground due to a 15" report from a spotter 5 miles away earlier. Why? Because forecast was 6-8" lol. Needless to say a BIG forecast update took place within the hour. Second would be snow OTG from 1/6 thru the end of month, 25 days! Third would be the erratic rainfall for summer and fall, with weeks of dry then a one day 2 incher to only run off!
  23. Currently 27.5/24.6 with some high cirrus filling in from SW at 7 am. 27.4 for the low.
