The fog machine working OT this morning

*Glances at NWS Blacksburg extended forecast...* .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/... As of 315 AM EST Monday... As strong cold front will bring dry conditions for the end of the week... A strong cold front will arrive Friday morning, bringing a surge of dry, chilly Canadian air to the Mid-Atlantic region. Will be concerned with breezy northwest winds, potentially gusting to 45 mph along the ridgetops by early that afternoon.

Pretty wild temp range in western part of VA this morning, some spots in low 20's while others were in low 40's!

Appears I am a few minutes late to see the carnage....

I've personally never felt that way to him, but you can do you...

I went back through my records and since 12/16 I have had 5, YES 5! Snow/sleet/rain to rain events where temps hang at 33-34 degrees through the event and a couple tenths of snow/sleet is recorded.... 5!!!

(pssst) If THAT is your snowboard..... it does Edit- although technically your snowboard SHOULD be at ground level

Well, I wouldn't say WELL to your south....

33 and rain with a few sleet pellets thrown in for ungood measure. Sheesh. This song and dance has played WAY too many times this year.

Welp, unless we cool off a bit. Amazing year to say the least. Went to bed at midnight with 28.5/22.8 and skies just starting to cloud over. Woke this morning at 6 to 33.5/25.4 and a light RAIN and sleet mix falling. Sheesh. Currently 33.1/26.0 at 7:45 with said light rain/sleet mix.

Now I have South Park stuck in my head...

I know I'm not..... just read thru the thread

Can confirm the brining, not sure what VDOT is up to, but even the less traveled secondary's were coated on the way to work a bit ago...

This, agree 100%

1.40 here, but 0.59 inches fell on 12/13th 0.2 inches of sleet/snow, a -4567% below average I believe.

Wow, the wind here since about 6 am.... sheesh! Just had a 37 mph gust.

Set a new 'warm minimum' for the date of 44.1 degrees, old mark was 39 degrees from 1986.

Where's that dead horse emoji? Oh yeah.... Just got back from Roanoke (applied for a passport, something I thought I'd NEVER do lol) and again failure from NWS. They likely will hit Roanoke right, I saw several bank therms reading 57-59 around 2 pm and the sun was out and skies partly cloudy, almost had to turn A/C on in truck! On way home it got cloudier and cloudier and ran back into drizzle around Clifton Forge and had the heat about 1/2 way up. Got home, 44 degrees at 3:45 pm.

Had some sleet at start of precip last night after midnight, then a cold rain set in, just like this rest of this winter.... currently 35.1/33.0 at 9 am with light rain falling. EDIT, also just brought another wheelbarrow load of wood in to keep stove going. I WAS going to let it go out to empty ashes and check the flue , but with the rain falling in mid 30's I highly expect to miss another 'high' from NWS of 55 for today. Their track record this week has been right poor. Forecast 56 yesterday, high 47.8, forecasted 51 Sunday, high 44.3, I believe 40 was called for Saturday, hit 34.5 around noon then it fell thru 20's in afternoon...

As I said to someone the other day, the comment 'warm/wet cold/dry' exists for a reason

Welp, might be another missed forecast here. Currently 47.6/19.2 and cloudy at 4:15pm. High is forecasted at 56. Yesterday was calling for 51 and we peaked at 44.3.

So from reading the past three or so pages I get that WHEN (or if) it ever snows again while playing an instrument I am more than likely to pick up a few cats and possible sides...
