That's the way it is SUPPOSED to look and do in a normal winter out that way!

Hit 22.3 around 4 am here, temps have climbed since with a SW wind 11/17 and clouds moving back in. Currently 28.0/20.5 and mostly cloudy at 8:10 am.

Someone cranked up the wind machine! Just gusted to 36 at 8 am, gusts have been in the 28-34 range since 6 am here from SW to WSW. Currently 38.8/30.7 and wind WSW at 19 gusting 29 at 8:15 am. Only 0.35 of all rain here in past 24 hours.

Well, I took down half the outdoor Christmas lights this morning, been leaving them up because wife (CA girl) wanted to see the lights in snow. We DID get almost an inch the other day, and it was pretty. I'm SURE we'll get 10 inches now that they are down lol.

Currently 25.4/21.9 here after a 22.3 low overnight.

WOW at Canaan NWR site this morning! Was in single digits at 4 am and climbed straight up to 30 currently, nutso!

1- I'd pick TOTAL LACK OF SNOW 2- the wildfire smoke 3-the water from above turned off in Aug and Sept

2014/2015 Nov- 3.6 Dec- 0.7 Jan- 0.2 Feb- 23.1 March- 6.1 33.7 total, plus 37 'T's 2015/2016 Jan- 19.1 Feb- 7.8 March- 5.0 Apr- 1.5 33.4 total, plus 19 'T's Granted 15/16 got off to a slower start, but went deeper into the year.

*glances at his 14/15 15/16 records* 14/15- 33.7 15/16- 33.4 *has questions*

Added another 'penny' from the sleet yesterday morning. 12/19 0.3 01/07 0.2 01/09 0.8 01/10 0.1 Total 1.4

Ended with 2.62 for the event, 0.33 at 7 am yesterday, 2.29 this morning at 7 am.

Warm/wet, cold/dry

Just looked, 0.68 is record precip for 1/10, so gonna SHATTER that, looks 2.5-2.6" in the gauge now.

Busting WELL low on forecast, currently 38.1/37.4 and rain. Forecast was 52 then 50 for the high...

Just sent in a report to NWS Blacksburg. Measured 2.10 in gauge since 7 am, total since storm started 2.43.

Same here.

And a brief tornado warning near Martinsville, VA

NOT the most 'scientific' way to measure, but stuck the snowruler into 4" gauge and got 1.4", that plus 7 am reading is about 1.75" since it started early this morning. The small 'run' that is 95% dry behind the house is running about 10-12" deep right now.

Awesome! I took my son out the week after he got his learners up to airport road KHSP(3700-4000 elevation) and turned him loose to learn how to drive in the snow. There was about 3-4 inches on the unplowed road and it was pouring. After a few spins and almost getting us into a ditch he figured it out and drove for about an hour with no issues. I allowed him to drive to Snowshoe at 16 because I had confidence in him after that and his driving around with me in the passenger seat every time it snowed/iced. He is 32 now, never had an issue in snow and has lived in Breck or Park City for the last 9 years.

Not sure I've seen a diamond on the models before like this, must be a 'sign'

Flipped back and forth between rain/snow/sleet several times this morning. Mostly rain now and 35.1/34.4. Eyeballing the CoCoRaHS 4" gauge, I'd say another 3/4 inch has fallen since 7 am when I melted 0.33". A degree or two likely would have produced 6+ inches here.... EDIT, about 3/4 inch or so of 'slush' still on ground at 10:45 am.

12/19 0.3 01/07 0.2 01/09 0.8 Total 1.3

Picked up almost an inch (0.8) of snow/sleet before it changed over to mostly rain with a few pingers around 7:30. Currently 33.0/32.3 at 7:50 am.

Well, let me add my massive new amount here... 12/19 0.3 01/07 0.2 Total 0.5

Update. So, had 0.07 at 7 am CoCoRaHS reading, looking like another 3/4 inch is in the 4" gauge part since and it is still coming down at a decent rate. Just IMAGINE what that would have looked like with just a touch better upper levels and even a 7 or 8 to 1 ratio.....
