3 pm numbers. 3.3 inches OTG, temp dropping, down to 27.9/25.0. Decent moderate snow falling now.

Temps dropping and moderate snow... that's the dream combo!

Dry air is crushing us now in Albemarle. Pixie dust at this point. DP has dropped from 21 to 16 in the last 90 minutes.

3kNAM says we're about done. HRRR hints at another burst of precip in the next hour or so

I was looking at radar optimistic we had a couple more hours of good snowfall but you're right where its now started to decrease rates even further.

Yep, even down this way flake size has decreased most of the afternoon. Right now it is POURING snow, but flakes range from pixie to eraser end size. Still, snow is snow. Down two degrees in 30 minutes, currently 26.1/23.4 with a NNE wind 7 gusting 14 mph.

Pixie dust here as well. I wonder if this precip ends up making it east. The models seem to say some of it does but if not most of Central VA is probably close to all done

It feels and looks like snows coming… but it ain’t

Happy for you southern forum folks!

All the reporting stations inside that circle are reporting either snow or light snow with .5 to 2 mile visibility, so THAT is reaching the ground. The question becomes can it cross over the mountains AND survive the drying atmosphere on this side of the mountains. I guess we shall find out over the next couple of hours. I can't remember which model showed it, but the precip is starting to 'split' like shown on that model yesterday, kudos.

Somewhere between 3-4" around here. Been windy so measurements vary. Cold too at 27 degrees. December to remember for my yard.
