  1. Nice write-up @George BM, but I'll 100% pass on ever wanting that to happen. That WOULD be catastrophic, to sat the least.
  2. My numbers for December 2025 Averaged high was 43.9 degrees vs a normal of 45.5 degrees, a -1.6 degrees below average. The warmest temp recorded was 61.5 degrees on the 28th. Averaged low was 25.1 degrees vs a normal of 25.7 degrees, a -0.6 degrees below average. Coldest temp recorded was 5.8 degrees on the 15th. Overall temp was 34.5 degrees vs a normal of 35.6 degrees, a -1.1 degrees below normal. Total precip for the month was 3.21 inches vs a normal of 3.22 inches, only off -0.01 inches below average. The wettest day was the 19th with 0.77 inches falling. There were 16 days with measurable, 5 days with a 'T', and 10 dry days. Total snowfall for the month was 11.1 inches vs a normal of 4.2 inches, a +6.9 inches above average. Highest snowfall was 5.1 inches on the 9th. There were 5 days with measurable, 8 days with a 'T' and 18 snowless days. There were 10 days with measurable SOG, 4 with a 'T' and 17 with no snow. Highest measured SOG at 7 am was the 9th with 4.5 inches. Highest wind recorded was 54 mph on the 20th. There were 16 days with winds above 25 mph, and 3 days above 50 mph. Two new records for the month, a new record low on the 15th and a new daily snowfall on the 9th. Overall a slightly colder month, chilly for majority with a 5 day period around Christmas to bring the average up closer to normal. Almost a perfect month moisture-wise, but almost 3 times normal snowfall. Extremely windy month. Yearly numbers- highest temp 91.5 degrees on 6/24, lowest temp 0.2 degrees on 1/23. 41.30 inches of precip for the year, 41.4 inches of snowfall for the calendar year.
  3. Sorta, 2.27", with 0.63" of that falling on the last day of the month. 4.5" of snow, but boy was it cold! Especially on 1/21, -19 that morning, a -4.2 for the month.
  4. Wishing all a Happy New Year!
  5. Hmm, Miami to the final four.
  6. The radar hole of Hades. Blacksburg's doesn't quite reach there, Charleston's does but only after zooming over the Yew mountains, and Sterling's has too many ridges to cross too. I THINK Pittsburgh's gets there too, again not well though.
  7. DCA: -2.1 NYC: -2.2 BOS: -2.3 ORD: -1.8 ATL: -0.6 IAH: +0.6 DEN: +1.1 PHX: +2.1 SEA: +1.3
  8. Currently 34.8/21.4 at 7 pm after a 35.5 high. Not expecting much here, but getting the ground white is the goal, anything measurable is a win.
  9. Spent the day cashing in on 'rewards' for EOY and EOM. Bought 22 gallons of gas for truck at 1.22 then 14 gallons for Subbie at 1.57 in Roanoke. While in Roanoke hit Panda Express and got the 40 dollar family meal with double rangoons and double spring rolls for 3 bucks OOP,(which we are currently eating) then stopped and picked up 16 2 liters of diet Dew for 1.49. Wife had rewards at Micheal's and Home Goods expiring today so she picked up some things she needed for her sewing crocheting hobby. Think she spent 12 bucks on 40 dollars of 'stuff'. Overall a good day, lol. ps-yeah, I'm sorta tight lol.
  10. Yep, although I'd prefer (as 90% would) snow, ANY moisture is welcome after the past few months, and I've been better off than many to the north and east.
  11. I clouded over around 3 am and the flurries returned. It WAS 18.3 around 2 am, climbed once those clouds filled in. Up to 24.4/16.7 at 8 am here.
  12. Currently 23.2/16.3 with a few flurries in the air. It flurried yesterday morning until 9-10 am, and started again overnight around 4-5 am, but never enough to accumulate. Still nice seeing it fall, and it has been chilly! Fell back into upper teens right after midnight, but slowly rose once the clouds (and flurries) returned, low 18.3 degrees.
  13. Best of luck with that. I had my 6 month today, squeezing it in before EOY.
  14. 22.3/11.0 at 8:30 pm with STILL NW at 8 gusting to 19 winds. High was 26.2 degrees.
  15. 108 years ago was a chilly, chilly morning around my region! -34 at White Sulphur Springs, -20 at Hot Springs and -10 at Lexington. Those are the only CO-OPs/observers that go back that far right in my neck of the woods, but Roanoke was a -12 and Blacksburg a -27 spreading out a bit. @KayI've never had an issue with copy/paste from NWS Blacksburg, so I can't help. @yodais your best chance, as you posted.
  16. Now THIS reminds me of years of my youth. It snow flurried here for hours yesterday evening and overnight, I have MAYBE 0.5" of snow blown against objects and in low spots, not a complete cover. But, JUST to my west there is a solid 1" or more and it is still coming down. Looking at cameras, yep, 'Shoe, Homestead up in Hot Springs, up in Highland county, over to Lewisburg WV all look to have 1-2 OTG at the least. Currently partly cloudy, 18.8/9.3 with W wind 12 gusting to 26 mph. Highest wind I had was 51 mph at 12:47 am. Edit-story time. Reason this SO reminds me is this would happen and we'd get a 2 hour delay or sometimes even at cancel for school. Mom was a RR carrier for post office, so I'd be delegated to helping deliver (putting mail in the box from passenger seat as she drove) on her route on cancel days. She did the western and southern part of the county. No sooner than we'd leave the city of Covington snow would go from what I have today to complete cover and deeper the further we'd go west. Up near the WV line there'd be 2 or 3 inches, same for the southern areas near Craig county line. Get back home and as 'ol Yukon Cornelius would say... nuthin.
  17. Sheesh, just had a 30 minute stretch where the wind never went below 28 mph. Sounded like a train was going thru the back yard. Had three separate 45 mph gusts during. Currently a few flurries and 23.6/12.8 and WNW at 18 gusting to 32.
  18. Oh, that means nuthin'. I drove an '02 Pontiac Montana to VT/ME three times to go skiing/snowboarding. First trip it started snowing at Albany and Smug and Stowe got 14" that day as we drove in. I had to hit the parking lot three times before I got the van up into the timeshare space lol. Second trip was the one where it was like -15 degrees with 20-30 mph winds at Jay one day. Snowed there all 4 days with the Jay cloud. Little better at Sunday River the third year, only 0 and little wind.
  19. 24.8/12.9 at 8:30 pm. Still some flurries, but the WNW 16 gusting 34 mph winds are destroying them when they hit an object lol.
  20. And there is the freezing mark at 4 pm. Currently 31.9/16.0 with a few flurries and WNW wind 17 gusting to 37 mph. WC running 20.8 to 16.2 with those winds.
  21. Not quite to freezing yet, 33.7/16.5 at 3:30 pm. Have a few flurries from time to time, that only means 'Shoe and Canaan are getting rocked lol. Highest wind gust so far was 47mph. Currently NW 16 gusting 35 mph. WC running 23 to 19 on those numbers right now. EDIT- I checked up (literally) at the airport (KHSP), they are 24 degrees with WNW 37 gusting to 49 mph. That puts their WC at 5 to 3. Chilly!
  22. Down to 44.3/37.0 at 10 am, winds WNW at 14 gusting 31 mph.
  23. Currently 50.1/47.4 with light rain and WSW winds 7 G20. 'High' was about 6 am at 53.1 degrees as the rain started. Another night where it was in upper 30's at midnight and rose to a early morning high for the period.
