Just turned in a 0.4" ob to NWS Blacksburg. He was surprised it was still snowing here..... um, radar?

Yes, there are two that hang around my property, they can do some SERIOUS damage to a deck in short order!

Hey! And the horses are upright too! Approaching 0.5" here, and coming down at a decent rate! Again, a small oopsie on the forecast of sunny and 46 for this afternoon. 32.4/30.7

17.0 for the low here this morning. Currently have light snow falling (oopsie on the forecast) and 33.3/25.6. Just a light coating so far. It did run up to 36.0 before the snow started falling.

That looks vaguely familiar...

Only take her in summer until you are ready to make your move for permanency

That 1022 thing to the SE isn't helping

I compromised when we built here, I had my eye on a lot on airport road at 3200 +- elevation. Ended up here at 1300 and, well you can guess the differences. That lot is for sale again, the guy that bought it never built on it. If I was planning on staying here I'd be in line to purchase.

I'm liking a lot!

I went back to 07-08 season (the CoCoRaHS period, as I call it) and these are the longest streaks of at least a T of snow reported daily 12 days 12/21/12 - 01/01/13, 3.7 inches total 11 days 12/31/09 - 01/10/10, 4.3 inches total 10 days 02/27/13 - 03/08/13, 5.1 inches total 09 days 01/21/11 - 01/29/11, 2.5 inches total 09 days 01/16/14 - 01/24/14, 6.3 inches total 09 days 03/07/18 - 03/15/18, 3.0 inches total 08 days 12/02/10 - 12/09/10, 2.7 inches total 08 days 01/12/12 - 01/19/12, 0.4 inches total the last is my favorite, ALL 'T' except one 0.4 recording.... so the 7 days is not as uncommon as I first thought... I am sure if I dug into the 'paper hard copies' from 80's 90's and 00's I would find more too. I need to spend a day or two on a vacation and get those into an Excel spreadsheet, it would be easier than what I am doing now, digging through years of paper records.

Just what kind of wind would it take to produce -120 WC with a 40 temp? 200 mph? EDIT- I checked, site won't give WC values for winds over 110 mph, but at that level the WC is only +21 F!!

Well, I caught the very northern part of that south slider, flurries past hour with a car/deck topper and currently 30.5/23.2. This after catching the very southern end of the snow showers yesterday morning. Currently at 6 days with flakes from the sky, tomorrow's report will be 7th. All light stuff, the grand total over those days is 1.0 inch, but least it looks pretty falling.

Time for a 3rd thread it appears....

Looks like I am going to penny, nickel and dime my way along here! 12/07 0.5 12/08 0.1 12/17 1.4 12/25 2.9 01/16 0.1 01/17 0.3 01/19 0.6 Total 5.9

Round two has gone thru here, I am up to 0.6" for the day. This is what NWS Blacksburg put out just as the 2nd round started falling... Special Weather Statement National Weather Service BLACKSBURG VA 959 AM EST Mon Jan 18 2021 VAZ018-019-023-WVZ043-044-507-181545- Botetourt-Craig-Alleghany-Summers-Eastern Greenbrier-Monroe- 959 AM EST Mon Jan 18 2021 ...A SNOW SQUALL WILL AFFECT ALLEGHANY COUNTY IN WEST CENTRAL VIRGINIA...NORTHEASTERN CRAIG COUNTY IN SOUTHWESTERN VIRGINIA...NORTHWESTERN BOTETOURT COUNTY IN WEST CENTRAL VIRGINIA...SOUTH CENTRAL GREENBRIER...NORTHEASTERN SUMMERS AND NORTHERN MONROE COUNTIES IN SOUTHEASTERN WEST VIRGINIA AND THE CITY OF COVINGTON... At 957 AM EST, a snow squall was located along a line extending from near Callaghan to Lawn to 10 miles east of Bald Knob. Movement was east at 25 mph. Winds in excess of 30 mph are possible with this squall.

Had a snow shower roll trough in last 40 minutes, dropped 0.3". Least things are white lol! Still flurrying and 32.2/29.9. This past week feels more like winters past, flurries, snow showers, clouds and cool temps.

12/07 0.5 12/08 0.1 12/17 1.4 12/25 2.9 01/16 0.1 01/17 0.3 Total 5.3

12/07 0.5 12/08 0.1 12/17 1.4 12/25 2.9 01/16 0.1 Total 5.0

Well, surprise, surprise. Ground is white with snow continuing to fall here at a moderate rate. Temp is 28/27.2. Forecast has nothing this am and snow showers this afternoon. I'll take the bonus!

I'll take a 13 or 23 and call it a winter, thanks!

I looked out the doors a couple times today at work, I'd say we got 2 to MAYBE 3 hours of sun. Currently partly cloudy and 40.

Ha! I beat you, maybe had 20 minutes here! Still 20 more than I've had in what seems like a week.

It is the start of the Earth's new 'dark spot'

Hmmm.... everyday for past several the forecast has been 'clearing with PC skies in afternoon', maybe TODAY will be the day the yellow ball reappears here.

3-5 forecasted here night before, ended up with a bit over 20!
