But 6 inches that came out of nowhere is fine with me. How often has your area received 6” or more from a single storm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do get snowstorms in southeaster VA. It's feast or famine. Last year was 1 in, 2 in, 2 in, 8.5 inches. The previous two years were nothing. We average 8 in a year. We could be zero or 20 inches. Nor'easters can drop 8-12 inches on us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to mention that there’s a dedicated thread for today’s storm. For documentation purposes, you may also want to post your results in there: Today here I just got an invigorating walk in with low 40s and just enough breeze to give it a nice bite. Today’s high of only 51 (normal is 65) means that every day so far this month has had a high only in the 50s. We already had had the first time in recorded history (back to 1874) of no high reaching 60 for Dec 1-7. Now it’s also the first time for that for Dec 1-8 and tomorrow is going to make it the first time for Dec 1-9! Rainfall so far this month is over 2”, which is way above the normal of 0.75” for Dec 1-9. For the first time since at least Thursday we had no rain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in Virginia Beach and only remember 2 years when we got slammed with snow. 1980 we ended up with over 40" for the year with it ending with the infamous early March blizzard. And 1989 we had back to back blizzards in February that dropped over a foot each time separated by a week. Other than those, we had a years with no snow or maybe a year with 2 to 6". I moved away in 1996. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted Tuesday at 11:38 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 11:38 PM Today is the 9th day in a row of highs below 60 at SAV and below 50 at GSO, extending the record! Before this SAV had never even had this for Dec 1-7 going back to 1874. GSO had had a 7 day period one other time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved away in 1996. VA Beach is tough to get snow, I got 6 inches with this storm on the peninsula. The southside was 1-2 inches. Norfolk did get a 12 inch snowstorm last year. VA Beach was like 10. I was a bit north and got 8.5. I just remembered, January 2018 VA Beach got a full scaled blizzard. 12 inches and 50 MPH winds.

GaWx Posted 23 hours ago Author Share Posted 23 hours ago A half hour ago I finished walking at the park in 35 invigorating degrees. To sort of borrow a phrase from DT, yes, I was the only sick, twisted cold wx freak out there walking. But I was bundled up and had extra energy giving me an extra spring in my step. Winds were calm with clear skies allowing for Gainesville, FL-like ideal radiation. I could even see some cool looking steam fog over water. Dewpoints were only a couple of degrees lower. Today’s high was only 45, which is 20 below normal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think today's high was only like 40 degrees and we are currently setting at 30 degrees which is freaking cold for down here. We've had a marine layer here since Sunday with no sun at all. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Mondays winter weather system only dropped 0.09” of QPF here, of which roughly half fell as snow. Given snowfall totals were in the 0.3-0.4” and some was wasted on initial melting, snowfall ratios were right about in the 10-1” range here.

Met1985 Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago Heavy frost with a low I believe of 30 degrees here in North Charleston. Not something you see often down in the low country. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not something you see often down in the low country. Thanks. Our areas had a freezing fog advisory late last night, which I believe is quite rare:309 AM EST WED DEC 10 2025 ..PATCHY FREEZING FOG THIS MORNING AREA OBSERVATIONS, SATELLITE IMAGERY, AND WEB CAMS INDICATE THAT PATCHY DENSE FOG IS IMPACTING PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AND SOUTHEAST SOUTH CAROLINA EARLY THIS MORNING. MOST OF THE PATCHY FOG IS SHALLOW, BUT IS PRODUCING VISIBILITIES OF A QUARTER OF A MILE OR LESS IN ISOLATED AREAS. MUCH OF THE FOG IS FORMING AS STEAM FOG NEAR WATERWAYS INCLUDING RIVERS, STREAMS, TIDAL CREEKS, AND MARSHES. TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE AREA HAVE FALLEN BELOW FREEZING AND INTO THE UPPER 20S IN MANY LOCATIONS. FREEZING FOG WILL OCCUR, EVEN PRODUCING LIGHT RIME ICE ON ELEVATED AND EXPOSED SURFACES. WHILE LOW VISIBILITIES COULD IMPACT TRAVEL, ESPECIALLY WHERE VISIBILITIES CHANGE SIGNIFICANTLY OVER SHORT DISTANCES, RIME ICE FROM FREEZING FOG IS NOT EXPECTED TO PRODUCE ANY IMPACT ON TRAVEL CONDITIONS. TEMPERATURES WILL RISE ABOVE FREEZING, AND ANY LINGERING FOG WILL DISSIPATE, BETWEEN 8 AND 9 AM THIS MORNING. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... IF DRIVING, SLOW DOWN AND LEAVE EXTRA DISTANCE AHEAD OF YOU IN CASE A SUDDEN STOP IS NEEDED. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also got down to 29 at KSAV, which was a few degrees colder than the forecasted lower 30s. But it didn’t quite get down to the coldest yet this season, which is the incredible 28 of Nov 11th. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be honest...we moved here from NoVA about a month ago, and did NOT anticipate these kinds of temps this soon in the season in MB. But, totally worth being/living here...and we're also glad to be close to your location and others in the GA/SC lowcountry, our favorite region to visit on the entire East Coast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
