1 to 2 inches on top of the 2 to 4 on ground is perfectly fine with me.

Posting here too since this will affect incoming radar hallucinations lol... National Weather Service Blacksburg VA 1014 AM EST Wed Jan 17 2024 ...WSR-88D KFCX DOWN UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE DUE TO MAJOR EQUIPMENT FAILURE... A major physical component of WSR-88D KFCX has failed and will have to be replaced. Time to restoration is unknown as this time and thus the radar will be down until further notice. In the meantime, relatively good coverage of precipitation echoes across the RNK service area can be obtained using neighboring radars or composite radar displays. Neighboring radars include Charleston WV (KRLX), Sterling VA, (KLWX), Wakefield VA (KAKQ), Raleigh NC (KRAX), Greenville- Spartanburg SC (KGSP), and Morristown TN (KMRX).

Roanoke radar has crashed, looks like it may be down a while...

Currently 6.0/-0.7 here. Low was 4.9 about an hour ago. Still breezy with a W wind at 7 gusting to 12 mph. That makes WC -6 to -9. Lowest WC I recorded was -15 at 4:04 am.

Made it! 9.3/0.7 at 11:35 pm.

Just a little more to the south there please

Almost singles! 10.2/1.6 at 10 pm, wind chills just below zero at -1 to -5

But snow is a IMBY thing, and I CAN be greedy....

Or Funkytown

Yep, too far north

Down to 11.9 at 7 pm

A repeat of Jan and Feb 87 would be just HORRIBLE, lol. 33 inches in Jan and another 16.3 in Feb here.

AT 6 pm I am 13.8/2.1 with a NW wind 7 gusting 17. Wind chill running +4 to -2. Skies went completely clear about an hour ago, Lets see if we head to zero.....

Down to 19.5/9.7 with a WNW wind 8 gusting to 19. That makes wind chill now between 9 and 4 degrees. I just finished shoveling driveway after the snowblower decided it didn't want to participate. @Jebman would be proud, my driveway is 1/4 mile long lol.

Bummer. Hope you get better soon!

FINALLY, something besides a 'penny/nickel/dime', it's been a while..... 12/19 0.3 01/07 0.2 01/09 0.8 01/10 0.1 01/15 0.7 01/16 3.1 Total 5.2

3.8 inches for a storm total on 0.32 liquid. Overall a nice way for majority of the board to 'get on board' Currently 27.2/25.3 with haze and fog here.

Turning more 'showery' in nature here, pours for 10 minutes or so, then a 10 or so lull.

Is cousin Eddie visiting??

Champerlain?

I thought that was a REQUIRED class for any snow weenie??

Just hit the 3 inch mark here. Back to moderate snow.

Ditto here, left 1/2-2/3 of outside lights up JUST in case, and bingo!

The 'hole' opening up between Harrisonburg and Lexington is legit. I caught the very bottom edge of it, went from pouring snow (+1"/hr rates) to nothing for 5-10 minutes before I cleared it.

Yep, NWS Blacksburg/Charleston and Sterling ALL leave a whole basically up and to the west of I-81, especially in light events. In my county the Blacksburg radar leaves a 'V' up through the eastern side of the county and north due to blockage from I believe Poor Mountain down in Roanoke area. That said, I've had light snow/pixie ALL day and just crossed the 2 inch mark at 7 pm. I've gotten half of that amount again in last hour lol.
