Just broke over 32 degrees at 10:30 am. That is a bit over 56 hours below freezing, 42 hours under 20 and 11 hours below 10 degrees. Not a bad run before hitting the winter solstice.

Fell to 15.6 just after midnight, then a very slow climb to 17.5 at 7 am CoCoRaHS report, 11 degrees warmer than yesterday.

Looks like I may have leveled off, running between 15.9 and 16.2 last hour. Currently 16.1/11.8 at 11:45 pm. Also have picked up a bit of cloud cover, at least partly cloudy.

I didn't start keeping records until 1979, but 12/89 was awesome here. -10.8 and 17.1 inches of snow with 25 days of snow OTG!

16.2/11.7 at 10:30, still a slow drop.

Although I'd prefer for this pattern to stick around, I have zero complaints for the first half of this month. Running a -8 on temps, had 11.1 inches of snow and measurable snow OTG for 9 days and a T for three more.

Definitely has slowed down the fall, currently 18.3/11.9 at 9 pm here.

IDK why NWS has decided to play the game with storm reports. Our last snow I sent THREE reports (a 0.5 at 7 am, a 3.3 at 1 pm and a 5.1 at 7 pm) during the storm with storm totals as it added up over an 18 hour period. NOT ONE made the storm report list or the semi-final that they issued about an hour after my third report was sent in. I sent a message thru the spotter network asking was I on 'ban' for some reason? Their answer was, 'well, you know, things get hectic when we have snow'. Yes, I'm sure it does, but not enough to ignore/miss THREE reports from the same location. Magically my last report showed up about 10 minutes later.

19.7/12.2 at 7:45 pm after a 28.9 high. Forecast is an 18 low? Someone better tell the atmosphere to hit the brakes.

I didn't bottom out until 4:28 am at 5.8, up to 6.5 at 7 am CoCoRaHS report and now 7.9/1.8 at 8:50 am.

5.8 degrees for the low, new record for the date (1989 10 degrees). Least the winds are down into the 5-15 mph range this morning.

Airport up at Hot Springs VA is currently 1/-6 with NW winds 21/33 and a WC of -20.

10.7/-3.2 at 8:45 pm here. NW wind 12/21 making WC -4 to -8 degrees. Edit- I know it isn't calling for it to get THAT cold, but if this wind calms... do we head for the DP?

I need 10 degrees to tie record low (1989), anything lower will be a new one.

11.9/-1.9 at 5 pm. Wind NW at 17 gusting 29 mph. Edit- WC -5 to -9.

"Ralphie, you're lucky it didn't cut your eye. Those icicles have been known to kill people!"

Good storm here, 17.3 inches.

Not getting any snow, but making up for it with wind. Just had a 52 mph gust, many plus 40 in last 2 hours and steady 20-25. Temp is 15.6/-1.7. WC running -1.5 to -9.3 lol

With the view out of Wisp in last hour @katabatic and others have to be getting dumped on! https://www.resortcams.com/webcams/wisp/

Congrats to the northern crew for the hit! I measured... a 'T', lol. Just enough to whiten the ground, actually started as light sleet at 3 am before going over to flurries. 0.01" in the gauge once thawed. Was 27.0 at 7 am (likely the high), now 22.8/12.9 at 9 am.

That CAN'T be right, puts a high bullseye on the Virginia high desert country....

Long as he didn't create a slight breach of etiquette by skipping the triple dare you.

Acting more like a Miller B type event. System driving E/ESE into mountains then a coastal transfer of sorts.

I left my dazzling total above, lol. Seriously, Blacksburg NWS reported 0.7 and I think Bluefield and Wytheville WAY down SW got an inch or so.
