  1. Over an inch (closer to 1.10") since 7 am here, MUCH needed. Temp still hasn't hit 40, but close at 39.4/38.2.
  2. Between the 7 am ob (0.06) and what I can eyeball in the gauge now from the back window, about 0.40 has fallen so far here. 37.3/36.5 currently. Another 5 degrees this would have been interesting, at least the front end.
  3. What leaves? They've been off the trees 10-14 days here lol.
  4. Yep, 3 on the money here, and it hung around for a few days as temps were in the 30's for highs and teens for lows.
  5. LOL, I can barely use the rider on 75% of the yard, I'd likely flip one of those. Don't think I haven't thought about trying one though
  6. Picked up 0.11 here, not much but after last 60 days I'll take it as a win.
  7. Nice to have a bit of rain falling. HOPE it helps even a little with the fires.
  8. I've been gone a few hours, anything different on the medium to long range models??
  9. In all seriousness I have spent last two days trying to rake and haul off as much of them as I can!
  10. Not sure where the fire is, but it has to be close. Started smelling smoke about 3 hours ago, and now visibility is under a mile. Traffic cam about 2 miles away on VA511 in Low Moor I 64 Exit 21 EDIT- nope, looks like the smoke from fire on the Blue Ridge Parkway has found its way here. Lexington looks just as bad on traffic cams. Virginia 511 Web (511virginia.org)
  11. Definitely understand, MAYBE this year will break your way
  12. We ran $300-$400 water AND power bills for D/J/F for several years when he was making snow. EDIT- and that was 18-22 years ago.
  13. *Raises hand* Umm, I'm pretty far away, but I still have all my son's snowmaking stuff in the shed...
  14. Well, at least the fog machine stayed turned off overnight.... currently PC (high cirrus) and 33.1/24.3.
  15. High of 62.5 degrees here today with a mostly sunny sky, just a few clouds. However, ruined by 20-25 mph gusts in afternoon. Currently 57.8/26.7, very dry air. Wind WNW at 9 gusting to 19 mph at 5:40 pm.
  16. For second morning in a row dense fog here, freezing this morning and deck is slick. Currently 29.8 degrees after a 28.9 degree low.
  17. 28.92 here as of 6am this morning for the year, 24.10 fell thru 8/10, so 4.82 over the past 3 months.
  18. Between ob time and what is in gauge now, I have 0.40 so far. A nice welcome relief to the past 3 weeks of dryness. Temp was 50.3 at 6 am, down to 44.4 now. Nice cam views from 'Shoe and Canaan.
  19. Gonna tell on myself, but it IS a funny story. We rented a car last week, Ford Edge, it was a Titanium edition with all the bells and whistles. Pulled into a gas station to fill up and left it running, went to clean the windshield and... YEP, across came those auto wipers pretty as you please lol. I got wet, wife was in passenger seat laughing her head off. I remembered earlier in the day that they came on in mist/light rain as we crossed Oklahoma, but NEVER thought about it again until that incident.
  20. After almost three months I can HIGHLY recommend lol.
  21. Yep, Catalooche used to make snow the first night it got close to 32 and they'd open ONE slope for a day or two to claim 'earliest opening on the east coast', son went there EVERY time they did that for about 7-8 years lol. That is a 5 hour drive from here. I looked and found the 13 season opener (it is on the side of the fridge, why I don't know, he has been gone since summer of '14), 11/14/13. I think one year they opened like October 5th!!
  22. Made it to 73 about an hour ago, in and out of clouds all day, but clouds have filled in completely and looking more like rain in last hour, down to 71.5 degrees.
  23. My son got a new snowboard about every year or at least every other, the old one became the trash board to start and finish season on. Anything over 2 inches was fair game especially early in the season.
