Well, we made it above freezing today (36.4) but with the 15-25 mph winds it still was a rough day to be outside lol. Currently 34.2/10.7 at 4:45 pm with W winds at 14 gusting to 22 mph. WC 25/22. Least the sun was out.

That would be a new record for C'ville if it happened. Somewhere around -6 or -7 is current one I believe.

Bottomed out at 15.5 degrees around 3 am, then once again temp started to rise and managed to pull off a non-diurnal temp for what seems like the 10th to 12th time since Christmas, crazy. Currently 21.4/13.0 at 8 am with SW 8 gutsing 22 mph winds.

Yep, ditto here. That stuff lasted OTG FOREVER!

LOL, about as wide a spread as possible between the models. We may get rain, we may get 20 inches of snow or we could get sun and -10 degrees. Perfect.

yes

Noted. lol

Game. Rams to final.

20.4/9.8 at 8:45 pm with NW 11 gusting 18 mph breeze. Chilly. WC feels like 8 to 5 degrees with those combos.

Anytime a 'suppression' is mentioned the further north you are the greater the chance of it happening.

The craziest ratio event I can think of right off the top of my head happened in 2014. Least a greater than 4" event.

Right at 10/11 to 1 here-

Looks like a double barreled system?

A 1, 20 or 39 would 'cure' a lot of the snow angst in this forum. LOL, 20 would give @George BM an automatic win in the snow contest.

Let's see...oh, yeah. 10.7" fell here for that event, most of central/western VA was in the 9-13" range. That opened the front for more fun the next week. I'd GLADLY take a repeat of those 15 days.

Cloudy and 28.9/23.3 at 8:15 am here. A 26.8 low. Few flurries around midnight, not even enough to cover the ground or objects, on to the next.

Sad that it has been over a month since I've posted in here! I guess every penny counts, lol. 11/11 0.1 11/30 0.1 12/02 0.2 (sleet) 12/05 3.8 12/06 1.5 12/08 0.5 12/09 5.1 01/17 0.1 Total 11.4

Had a small band come thru here about 5 am, just enough to measure 0.1" and coat everything. Better than a nada. Currently 28.3/23.0 and cloudy.

Yeah, no snow fell here as the radar returns went overhead, but cloudy and 27.7/8.3 at 2:30 pm isn't gonna make the 37 forecast high bode well for NWS.

Cloudy and 26.9/10.1 at 12:30 pm. If looks counted, it would be snowing right now, sky has THAT look to it, but way too dry to reach the ground.

Currently 14.8/7.0 at 7 am after a 14.4 low. High was 23.5. Awesome pinkish red sunrise this morning with the high cirrus moving in.

I think a lot of all the angst comes down to one thing. Expectations. We watch the pattern, it is good. Something shows up 2 weeks out, awesome. Next run shows 15-20 inches in spots and many getting 7-12, people start buying in. It closes to 10 days, and although one (or even two) models show SOMETHING, it isn't the 'big one' and those expectations start to slid. Then *poof* one model has a snizzlefest, majority go OTS and one is a cutter, chaos. A minor model brings something back at day 4, then a major shows promise, we buy in again. Day two we have cold/dry air as there isn't even a storm anymore. I think the best thing (and what I have decided to do) is watch but don't buy in until day 4 at max, and then only if half the models have SOMETHING showing that appears to have a bit of consistency.

Awesome pics!!

A chilly 19.8/6.7 at 5:30 pm. WNW 13 gusting to 28 mph winds driving WC down to 7 and 2.
