19 degrees and first flakes! Extremely light and you have to concentrate to see them but considering how quick I'll probably flip to sleet, every single flake counts lol. 

NWS forecast for onset of accum precip is 7pm but anything that falls will stick so hopefully I can get some bonus snow

I noticed we have some light virga making it into LWX radar zone.  I feel like often these juiced WAA portions always start a little earlier than progged.

Looks nice down there so far. 

My friends in Brentwood just south of the city flipped to sleet at 2:09PM. Radarscope precipitation type still showing snow but correlation coefficient clearly shows the sleet line up into Nashville now.

Seeing decent returns streaming into Roanoke. If those actually start accumulating then start time is ahead of schedule down here. Right now it's just light flurries to the east of that.

Temps are busting low down here in central VA. Forecast high was 23 for Charlottesville.

Currently 18/-15 at CHO

Yep. I'm to the point that going to Roanoke is irritating lol.

And first flakes here. Currently 19.5/1.3, so still pretty dry.

Seems ahead of schedule?

[BTRWx's Thanks Giving]

Virga is creeping north quickly, already on lwx radar near Charlottesville.  

[wxdude64]

I'm thinking Blacksburg said 5-6 pm ish? So yeah about 2 hours ahead? But it is LIGHT, I can almost count the flakes in the air falling. 

[mikeg0305]

Lightly snowing at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg.

[IUsedToHateCold]

snow in Blacksburg means it's about 6 hours out from my neck of the woods
