I am at 33 and light rain! LOL!

Feel the Grinch stole the good pattern! Maybe it will change and the PNA will grow positive by a few sizes because of Christmas... Bah humbug

Flurries. Like that band of snow showers to the south

31 with crazy winds

Missing Bob again. Wish he would come back

Pattern recognition and actual outcomes are two different things. The bickering over DT comments is ridiculous. The pattern looks favorable for potential winter weather. Stick with that and let's see it play out. Please stop the madness.

I was going to say the same. Good potential in that look.

I swear I saw a Low forecasted there recently! LOL!

Dusted in Purcellville. Nice little whitening frosting over the glacier underneath. Coldest point of the overnight. Sitting at 29

Nice little snow showers in Purcellville the last 30 minutes. Took the fog on a walk. Much calmer than 24 hours ago!

After I went out and actually saw how much more snow I got, it was definitely NOT the whopping 1 to 2 inches I had thought! SORRY for the exaggeration. Actual measuring and getting real data is super important! Storm: * First Snow - 5.3 inches * Sleety Mess - 1 inch * Topper - .65 inches Total = 6.95 inches but it only is between 4 and 5 inches on the ground due to melting and compaction (measured best I could) Huge win! Hated that we could not be all snow, but in December.. just can't complain much. Also, beautiful walk this morning with the dog. The streets are super icy! If you have a rudder sled, there have to be some amazing spots to fly!

I was in that same hole! Remember it well.

Backfilling again!!! Woot woot

With this extra snow it finally got powdery enough for drifting! (had to do it!) but it is true! The back stairs look like a Ski slop now because he steps have snow drifted all up them!

What a nice coating to end! We have nearly 2 inches more! YIKES to power flashes!

Flipping now. 2020_12_16_21_43_36.mp4

Just finished shoveling 180 feet of aleety slush mushy icy mess.. And it started sleeting like crazy. Everything is covered and white again with ice pellets. Snow is trying to get involved but it is slow to transition. That was not fun. But it kind of was fun!

I don't think so.. that mix back to snow was brief! East of Leesburg looks close to seeing some freezing rain. Stupid warm nose, poor track, climate.. etc! But this was fun! That heavy band was sweet! Maybe some snow can top off the crust we are getting now.

Seeing the rates offset the cold nose - can even see it on radar! 60% sleet and 40% snowballs currently - but snow is increasing!

Sleet sleet sleet! Kind of heavy too!

Heaviest snow of the day now. I see the sleet line approaching. Went out and blew the driveway of between 4 and 5 inches of snow. If it could just hold like this the rest of the day I would be cool with that

Nice snow! Bigger flakes in these yellow bands. Can I concentrate and get any work done? I dunno! 27 degrees now!
