Although I'd prefer for this pattern to stick around, I have zero complaints for the first half of this month. Running a -8 on temps, had 11.1 inches of snow and measurable snow OTG for 9 days and a T for three more.

Definitely has slowed down the fall, currently 18.3/11.9 at 9 pm here.

IDK why NWS has decided to play the game with storm reports. Our last snow I sent THREE reports (a 0.5 at 7 am, a 3.3 at 1 pm and a 5.1 at 7 pm) during the storm with storm totals as it added up over an 18 hour period. NOT ONE made the storm report list or the semi-final that they issued about an hour after my third report was sent in. I sent a message thru the spotter network asking was I on 'ban' for some reason? Their answer was, 'well, you know, things get hectic when we have snow'. Yes, I'm sure it does, but not enough to ignore/miss THREE reports from the same location. Magically my last report showed up about 10 minutes later.

19.7/12.2 at 7:45 pm after a 28.9 high. Forecast is an 18 low? Someone better tell the atmosphere to hit the brakes.

I didn't bottom out until 4:28 am at 5.8, up to 6.5 at 7 am CoCoRaHS report and now 7.9/1.8 at 8:50 am.

5.8 degrees for the low, new record for the date (1989 10 degrees). Least the winds are down into the 5-15 mph range this morning.

Airport up at Hot Springs VA is currently 1/-6 with NW winds 21/33 and a WC of -20.

10.7/-3.2 at 8:45 pm here. NW wind 12/21 making WC -4 to -8 degrees. Edit- I know it isn't calling for it to get THAT cold, but if this wind calms... do we head for the DP?

I need 10 degrees to tie record low (1989), anything lower will be a new one.

11.9/-1.9 at 5 pm. Wind NW at 17 gusting 29 mph. Edit- WC -5 to -9.

"Ralphie, you're lucky it didn't cut your eye. Those icicles have been known to kill people!"

Good storm here, 17.3 inches.

Not getting any snow, but making up for it with wind. Just had a 52 mph gust, many plus 40 in last 2 hours and steady 20-25. Temp is 15.6/-1.7. WC running -1.5 to -9.3 lol

With the view out of Wisp in last hour @katabatic and others have to be getting dumped on! https://www.resortcams.com/webcams/wisp/

Congrats to the northern crew for the hit! I measured... a 'T', lol. Just enough to whiten the ground, actually started as light sleet at 3 am before going over to flurries. 0.01" in the gauge once thawed. Was 27.0 at 7 am (likely the high), now 22.8/12.9 at 9 am.

That CAN'T be right, puts a high bullseye on the Virginia high desert country....

Long as he didn't create a slight breach of etiquette by skipping the triple dare you.

Acting more like a Miller B type event. System driving E/ESE into mountains then a coastal transfer of sorts.

I left my dazzling total above, lol. Seriously, Blacksburg NWS reported 0.7 and I think Bluefield and Wytheville WAY down SW got an inch or so.

Well, a glance of the 24 precip analysis says I'm like Wile E Coyote..... Had about 2 hours of light snow this morning, visibility never dropped below 4 miles and only place it accumulated was on the snow left from previous events. On to the next event, I surely can't complain after the past 10 days.

Unless it 'rounds the bend' soon Boone and Greensboro might have a better shot of some flakes.

Yep, I was a 2" or less thinker from the start of this. BUT, sometimes a surprise happens, and we've been hot lately......
