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.

Maybe, I think VDOT is broken down into about 8 or 10 districts across the state.

What?!? I think VDOT pre-treated even the secondaries both Thursday AND Friday here.

Yep, I keep dropping too. Currently 14.1/9.2 at 9:15 here, eyeballing I'm close to an inch. I'll measure at 9:30.

Yep, makes PERFECT sense. And when does someone from the county inspection team come to fix/repair if the pipes go? Yeah, exactly what I thought. Hope you get them to reopen and not burst!!

At 7 pm snow and 14.2/9.0. About 1/2 inch now OTG.

I've seen one or two ACT timid, but they were just plotting/scheming for the next chance or opening.

I thought that would be Pinky and the Brain?

Cheating here. Pulled out a DiGiorno's and doctored it a bit. That and a bowl of 'tater soup will be dinner.

So, we DID start a lot earlier than what NWS was calling for, but the 2 hours of snizzle and, as @Bob Chill said, sand took forever to accumulate to making everything white. The flake size has definitely increased in last 20 minutes and visibilities are down in the 1-2 mile range now compared to the 5-7 mile vis earlier. Just a holler to those upstream.

After TWO HOURS of very light snow, have enough for the ground to be white, lol. Currently 15.8/3.0, light snow and ENE wind at 6 mph.

I'm thinking Blacksburg said 5-6 pm ish? So yeah about 2 hours ahead? But it is LIGHT, I can almost count the flakes in the air falling.

And first flakes here. Currently 19.5/1.3, so still pretty dry.

Yep. I'm to the point that going to Roanoke is irritating lol.

Started light snow in Blacksburg about 20 minutes ago per VDOT traffic cams.

Well, it WILL take a bit to get the moisture down to the ground layer. It is pretty dry in the lower column.

Crazy.

All of that is SUPER ugly! YIKES. Someone said Dominion Electric VA hiked rates at start of year, so we'll see what happens. Sadly many have to be chained to that with no recourse, and I seriously doubt it gets better going forward. Happily I use the 3 step heating system, cut the wood, stack the wood, burn the wood. I have propane (which is ridiculously high too) as back-up and what I call 'shoulder seasons' in early fall and late spring, but that may go bye-bye if propane keeps going up and I'll just burn wood 24/7/200+.

Congrats!!

After a chilly 14.9 low it has warmed to a toasty 17.1/0.5 at 11:15 am. Mostly cloudy skies. Brisk NE winds!

It is cold! And WINDY!

LOL. My wife likes to listen to either a crackling fire or rain falling to go to sleep. A big change from my 'widower' stage when I fell asleep to hockey playing on TV.

Back to the 'car issues'?

You mean he's back out after being in after being out?

28.1/10.4 at 8:30 here and falling.
