  1. I rarely wear a jacket/coat, but when I do, it is because the wind is howling. I'll take a -5 in calm winds over 25 and 25 mph winds any day.
  2. Shows the Stevens City desert zone well...@EastCoast
  3. Warmer at this same time this morning (16.5) than yesterday (13.4). I thought we would be colder, but whatever, still chilly. 4.5 inches still on the ground of hard concrete. Yesterday's high was 25.6, flurries on and off basically all day and night, but never accumulated.
  4. Not sure about heavy, but does show snow in 51 and 54 frames on 3k
  5. Low was 11.8 around 4 am here. Temps have gone up a bit since then, likely combo of clouds returning and W winds increasing. Currently 13.4/6.5 at 7:30 am.
  6. Answer my own question, Dec of '22 they got 0.1. You have to go back to 2018 for an actual snow.
  7. They've named a storm that has barely formed yet??
  8. *would be 100% for Jan 1987 as a repeat for 2025*
  9. Moving this here- Amazing what a little prodding will do, they 'sorta' changed from 3.0 to 5.7 as of today. that is a lot closer to what others in the area reported.
  10. Come on down!
  11. Into the teens at 8 pm, currently 18.4/10.5 at 8:20 pm. DP is dropping pretty fast.
  12. High was 26.1, now down to 22.9/14.0 at 4:50 pm. Will be nowhere near a record cold max (thanks 2014) of 15.2.
  13. Roanoke about to be ingested by the 'claw' or jaws, your choice, and aimed at DC. Amazing how 90% of model snow maps manage to have a similar image.
  14. Currently 25.8/15.1 at 2:45 and is the high so far. Started at 18.0 this morning. In and out of clouds, saw a few flurries between 10 and 11 am.
  15. LOL, looks like NWS Blacksburg's radar beam going just to my east in a storm.
  16. LOL, walked ON TOP of the snow to do the CoCoRaHS report this morning, which I had to chisel through to get the SWE. Had light freezing rain/drizzle and sleet yesterday morning which froze solid once temps started dropping in afternoon. This stuff will be around a while, currently 5 inches on the ground, 18.3/11.0.
  17. 11/22: 0.2 01/04: 0.4 01/06: 7.2 01/07: 0.2 Total: 8.0
  18. We sorta have that same issue here. The CO-OP is the city water filter location, and they are ALWAYS low on snow totals. Today is a classic case, they reported a 3.0. Out of the 7-10 reports sent in within a 15 mile radius of them, they were 2 inches lower than the next lowest measurement. I have 'ratted' them out before, went up and took a pic of their location with snow on the ground (granted, maybe only 1-1.5 inches, I'd reported 1.8 for the day) and sent it in to NWS Blacksburg after they had reported a 0.0. That seemed to help, they were closer for a number of years to other reports, but they may need a reminder again lol. If you look at a snowfall map for VA you can actually see Covington clearly in the contours. 24-36 all around and they are like 8-10. There are years where they report NO snow, 0.0 reported for winters of 95/96 and 96/97!! Only 40.0 reported for 09/10 when others around were in the 60-70 range. Frustrating. *rant off, lol*
  19. 11/22: 0.2 01/04: 0.4 01/06: 7.2 Total 7.8
  20. OK, so 3.2 inches of 97% sleet was on board at 7am, so 7.2 inches snow/sleet. That is a new record for the date, shattering 1996's 2.3 inches. Total precip is 1.51 inches (0.43 from 1am pull and another 1.08 with sleet overnight), that too is a new record, beating 2008's 0.36 inches. 6.0 inches OTG with the sleet beat down of the snow, should be a lovely concrete mess later once temps drop this evening lol.
