Very nice ! Is that two 5” snowfalls for you in the past week ? In early December ? Awesome. I’ve had two 5”+ storms total in the past 4 winters on this end of I-81.
-
Overcast and 28/3 with a N wind at 13 G23. Coldest day of the winter so far.
-
A week later, from the same run. 40 to 50° below normal across the upper Midwest.
-
That’s the point where my memory block kicks in lol. I’m a glass half-full guy so I prefer to look forward to the late Jan 2011 event redux.

When I was guessing what kind of winter to expect, to make a forecast in the seasonal snow contest, I leaned on a blend of 2010-11 and 2000-01. Dec 2010 had a lot of clippers that snowed on SWVA, S WV, and the Smokies of NC. I think Roanoke had at least 3 accumulating events that month, including one on Christmas. A pattern that left my part of WV cold and dry.

Everything earlier today stayed south of here. First snow of the day now. Decent shower with big flakes. 28°.
-
Starting to get some breaks in the clouds after a cold overcast morning. 36°.

12/2 - 0.7” climo = 26.5” 2024-25: 17.2” 2023-24: 15.7” 2022-23: 5.3” 2021-22: 15.2”

Some sleet mixing back in with the rain now. Still 32°. Edit- just like that, it’s back to snow.
-
0.7” on the snow board. Now a mix of sleet and freezing rain at 32°. Sidewalks and pavement just a little crunchy.
-
Down to 24° and skies have gone mostly clear again. Schools here have called a two-hour delay for the a.m.
-
Down to 27° with some cirrus gathering in the southwest sky. Temp fall should start to level off now.
-
Clear skies at dusk. 33/23
-
Looks like 12Z continued the trend of the past several runs of more QPF for us. Temps are dicey, especially at the surface, but it's showing quite a bit of frozen.
-
Models barely holding on to snow here, with no breathing room left. Morning runs for my yard: 6Z ECMWF- 2.0” (10:1) 12Z GFS- 3.5” (Kuchera) 12Z CMC- 5.5” (10:1) 12Z RGEM- 5” (10:1) 12Z UKMET- 3.5” (10:1) 12Z NAM 12km- 2.5” (10:1) 12Z NAM 3km- 1.5” (10:1)

Winds hit here about an hour ago. Gusted to 38 a short time ago. Dews falling rapidly.

Nice burst of snow has laid down a dusting here. 34°. Winds S13 G23.

Been a while since we have seen this.

@Interstatementioned 12/8/13. That was the second-earliest December snow in my years here, at 8”. That winter turned out ok too.
-
This will be the 20th winter I’ve lived in the eastern panhandle of WV. In that time, I’ve had one accumulating snow during the first week of December: 12/6/2009 with 2.9”.
-
Stayed in the mid 30's all afternoon with winds gusting to 30. Snow grains falling at times under partly sunny skies. High of 36.

12Z Euro had the low scooting off the coast at Myrtle Beach. GFS keeps parking a 998 over Nanticoke, MD. Maybe tomorrow we can get a better idea about Tuesday.
-
06Z GFS looks pretty slick out this way Tuesday morning. 0.75” FZRA. A lot of it with temps 29-30°
-
Some flurries floating around. 35°.
-
Very dense fog here this morning. 49°.
