They closed our schools by 9:00 p.m. last night. I realize they probably have unused snow days, but they could have used today to make up for weeks of lost classroom time when Russian hackers shut down the county’s computers last month.

Congratulations on retirement Andrew. I’m happy for you, buddy.

Great post Bob. Happy for you that you’ve found that spread of dirt to develop a dream with. I started a business when I was 30. Made and lost fortunes. Had some great times, but never got too caught up in the successes. Once ego gets involved, the downturns that will surely come can consume you. Turning 60 in a few weeks. Fortunate to be in good health and a part of my kids’ lives. The rest of it is just rolling downstream as you said. I’m content letting others run in that rat race. Ain’t jealous of them at all.

That’s a great looking depiction. And the best part is the time stamp. Under 240 hours for once this winter.

Just last year, I measured a couple of inches on April 18, when 2-6” fell across the eastern panhandle of WV and western MD. Since moving to WV in 2006, I’ve received: 15” on March 21, 2018 9.4” on March 19-20, 2015 4.1” on March 25, 2013 6.0 on March 17, 2007

Ended up with a car topper here. A decent dusting in grassy areas too.

Beautiful scene in the eastern panhandle this morning. Dense, freezing fog has coated everything in a thick layer of ice.

Look upstairs

As of 6:00 p.m.

The Weather Bureau obs shifted first to Bolling Field in Anacostia in 1929. Then to Washington-Hoover Airport (near where the Pentagon is now) in 1931. And then to Washington National Airport in 1941.

Getting some very light snow this morning. 32°..

You guys are funny. You know how it’s gonna go. Cold and blustery and damp in March. Everyone will be crying when it’s in the 50’s most of April. “Where’s our string of 75 degrees days with sunshine ?” May will start out wet for the first few weeks and then we’ll transition straight into hazy hot and humid summer weather. It’s rare to have the Spring weather everyone wants.

12/22 - 2.3” 1/25 - 2.0” total - 4.3”

MRB reporting 1/4 mile visibility at 31 degrees. Down from 34 a half an hour ago.

Berkeley County WV closed also. Remember when they didn’t close schools based on a forecast, but actually waited until the morning to assess the conditions ?

I’m out until Topper gets on board.

MRB reporting 9% relative humidity at 2:00 p.m. Culpeper at 7%. Warrenton 5%

Those questions though… ”how did you like your guy acting like a punk?” “what will it take for you to dump your QB (after one series)”

I just submitted a report to CoCoRaHS for the 5,000th consecutive day. That’s a lot of morning walks across the yard in all kinds of weather.

I have at least an inch in most spots. Hoping against a spike in temps overnight.

I’m up to 1.20” of liquid for the event. Still 34° with plenty of snowpack left.

LWX has the front moving through before daybreak there. By 8:00 a.m. winds are already gusting to almost 60 mph. Here’s the P&C forecast for Bittinger:

12/22 - 2.3”

Pretty hardcore, man. Enjoy ! I have camped in -25°F temps, but the wind you’ll be dealing with is beyond my experience.
