    Where in Purcellville are you? I'm on Harpers Ferry Road about 5 miles north of Route 9 on the west side of the east hill. I did not lose power, but I was getting slammed with wind. I have a log home with a great room that has a 24' ceiling and a wall of windows that face due west with about 2000' of pasture in front of me. I had to go back to my bedroom in the back because the creaking was freaking me out. I'm at 725'.

    Moderate snow here @36
  3. Roger Ramjet
    It was even less than that for about 10 min., but that was it for the heavy stuff with that initial band. Just light stuff now.

    SN+ Really coming down.

    Large snowflakes and sleet mix.

    You are right, just seems like a lot less with no snow winters like this one and 2019. As a matter of fact, I had nothing close to climo last year in northwestern Loudoun county.
  7. Roger Ramjet
    Well, five years of recent winters is almost nothing so what are you forfeiting.

    36 degrees now, 80+ tomorrow!!

    I've got sleet mixing in too.

    Had thunder in Leesburg about a half hour ago.

    Looks like the big goose egg will be my low.

    Look, I have been on this earth almost 60 years and on the old and new weather boards 15-20 years. I usually just listen. Spent 2/12 years as a Meteorology major at Lyndon State College in the late 1980's. This is a top 5 before New Year for me.

    I hear you, but this is pretty damn impressive for the area it covers and the wind is impressive - look at Buffalo!
  14. Roger Ramjet
    Totally agree, just pointing out how unusually cold this period is.

    We do not need snow pack tonight to see below 0. I'm already ay 4 degrees at 6:15 PM!

    Down to 8.2. Power has gone out 5 times, but has thankfully come back on each time. Dam dish takes 10 minutes to reset each time.

    Temp. down to 24 in western Loudoun and extremely windy.
  19. Roger Ramjet
    Wind just started to really crank up.
  20. Roger Ramjet
    Came through here in western Loudon with just rain and not much wind to speak of.
  21. Roger Ramjet
    Emptied the rain gauge so it would not freeze. 2.65" for the event.

    I have a log home in the very northwestern part of Loudoun County (between the hills) off of Harpers Ferry Road at 725'. My great room ceiling is 24' high and I heat with my wood stove whenever possible. My wall of windows faces west and I will get slammed with this frontal passage and will probably loose power - happens often. 75% of what I burn is black locust. When it gets cold, I really have to crank the wood stove to keep my propane furnace from coming on.

    Right at 2". 34 for a high today and current temperature.
  24. Roger Ramjet
    Stuck at 31.4 for the last four hours. I am at 725'. Everything covered with ice. Hoping it will warm up soon. Do not want to loose power!
  25. Roger Ramjet
    1.75" total.
