  1. Lock it up and then bring on spring for our backyard. (I actually do need the warm weather... trying to do some last-minute home repairs/improvements before the house goes on the market)
  2. Disgusting mix of rain, sleet and mangled flakes in Crozet (checking in from friend’s place)
  3. Could be a nice little dusting. Big thing to me is that this run seems to stay pretty cold after the weekend storm. I'll absolutely take chilly rain over ice to wash the old chunks of former glacier away midweek and then stack fresh powder on the weekend. Basically an ideal run.
  4. Sign me up for that weekend. Everyone who was fringed or missed out entirely from the coastal gets raked.
  5. Also would give STL its largest single-storm snowfall ever. Widespread watches and warnings already hoisted.
  6. Yeah they really get the bad end of these kinds of events and are starting to really take it on the chin from tornadoes too. Oh also, if this run of the GFS verifies, this would be the 2nd-largest single-storm snowfall in St. Louis history. Only surpassed by one in 1890.
  7. I realize it's outside our geo, but taken at face value, that's an insane icestorm at the AR/MO/KY/TN borders. And really across a broad stretch of KY along I-64. Holy smokes.
  8. Yeah definitely virga. In fact, I was going to make that my obs 25F, moderate virga. Looks like it will stay below freezing all day for a second straight day. Closing out January nicely!
  9. Can confirm it's a bluebird day out there. Still just 23F, not expected to get above freezing. Wind up a little bit but the sun is shining, the roads are fine and the scenes are picturesque. Coming just short of 2" puts us one coating event away from yearly climo. All in January. Let's go February!
  10. Getting the barest edge of the coastal. most likely. Should be a last hurrah.
  11. If that ends up being an official spotter total anywhere, Charlottesville will hit its annual snowfall average today. Just need one big boy to make it a pretty special winter. And now we head into peak snow climo...
  12. Went on a nice little walk with the better half in that yellow band here in CHO to get some beverages. A good time had by all. Roads just gonna be wet, maybe icy overnight. Sidewalks caved and are slushy. Will be happy with an inch or two in the end.
  13. Anyway sorry for banter posting but nothing is happening Charlottesville. And the temp busted high. 39F.
  14. I suppose the surprise by either of those measurements depends on perspective... and what they're used to.
  15. Accuracy: D+ Timeliness: C- Communication: C- Overall: A
  16. CWG is having a time: https://twitter.com/capitalweather/status/1487074417763143690
  17. Pretty cloudy in Charlottesville. 31F. Brine and salt advisory in effect.
  18. Give us next Saturday and then you could cancel the rest of winter. WSW criteria for absolutely everyone here. Let's do it.
