    22F and sleet, with an occasional flake mixed in.
  2. Picard
    LIght to moderate snow here. I'm right on the edge of the heavier precip line. Up to 2.25" in the last two hours. Maybe I'll get close to the low side of 3-6" before all is said and done. Temp 23F.
  3. Picard
    1.7" here as of 8 am. Still snowing lightly. Schools are closed. Probably the right call in today's society, roads are sloppy. It's an underperformer as per forecast but still looks nice. I'll probably do a short hike later.
  4. Picard
    Just light snow and a heavy dusting here coating everything. We'll see what happens later.
  5. Picard
    Extremely fine flakes falling now. You can't see them in the light, but I can feel them on my face. Dewpoint up to 13 from about 3 earlier.
  6. Picard
    My campus just called 2 hr delay.
  7. Picard
    Same. Plus a beer.
  8. Picard
    Admit I am a little worried about this. It's a desert up here.
  9. Picard
    My only point is that, at some point, the dry air is relevant. The models have probably improved over the years in it's consideration, but in the past, in my non-expert experience, they used to suck at it, and 6 inch forecasts evaporated into little more than a heavy dusting for some of us.
  10. Picard
    That is really going to struggle to get any further north than it is right now, at least for many more hours. These near zero dewpoints are going to be hard to overcome. I'm a little skeptical of 4-6".
  11. Picard
    It's got to overcome some very low dewpoints too. Probably a period of virga before the snow starts?
  12. Picard
    We just got a snow squall warning on our phones. But so far nothing and it looks like the worst of it is south.
  13. Picard
    It's windier today at our house than Tuesday night's storm. We've lost several branches today.
  14. Picard
    Beautiful out with full sun here. Temp mid 40s. Calm before another storm.

    Waterfront is a great thing until it isn't. Even the cutest little meandering stream can become a rip-roaring rage if enough rain falls in a short period. Buying where we bought, far from a water source, was definitely a consideration. There have been stories of even small steams ultimately washing out entire homes. Not a good idea in the changing landscape and climate.

    I have patches and piles left, but I'm only at 800 feet and started from about 8". I'm guessing higher up the mountain still has a few inch snowpack, especially out toward the ridges of Stokes and High Point. I might take a ride up Sparta Mountain later on if I have time.
  17. Picard
    Approximately 2.6" of rain here. It looks like I was right on the edge of the heaviest stuff but just missed it. Still impressive. The wind here seemed worse at 6 pm yesterday than overnight. I heard heavy rain a couple of times, including another brief drenching around 3:15 AM, but the rattling and whooshing of wind never woke me up. The power flickered a few more times but stayed on. Our partially finished basement took in a little water but the french drain worked.
  18. Picard
    Water trickling into the basement. So far the french drain is doing the trick. Temp 49, 1.25" of rain. Wind is calm-ish for now.
  19. Picard
    Ripping pretty good here in Sparta. I don't have a great anemometer, so my peak gust means nothing, but Sparta PD reports several trees down and power outages in town. Our lights blinked but so far have stayed on.
  20. Picard
    I could buy the 9" in Vernon. I'd be teasing 8" if it weren't for the changeover.
  21. Picard
    Party's over for now. 6" OTG but it's turned to a sleet and rain mix. Temp 32. Radar is not depicting precipitation type accurately.
  22. Picard
    That's here. It's ripping snow right now, with 5 inches OTG. That more than doubles my obs from an hour and 45 minutes ago.
  23. Picard
    2.4" OTG in Sparta @ 800 feet. Temp 30.3 with no signs of mixing yet.
  24. Picard
    Moderate snow. Temp 29. Good coating on everything. The pre-treatment they do is utterly pointless. Our community driveways and sidewalks were pretreated last night, they sprayed shit everywhere, made a mess, and barley a quarter inch of snow, and everything is covered. I'm on the community HOA, so I'll put up the counterargument. But I'll lose.
  25. Picard
    MANDA and I are in an area where sometimes a five minute drive can mean a difference of several inches. I'm at 800' here. I believe parts of Sparta/Jefferson are 1300'+ I've already seen twice since living here zilch at our house while the top of Sparta Mountain has plowable snow. I'm not thinking that scenario plays out this time. But I can easily see the top of the mountain beating me by 3" (say 5" vs 8").
