CPC's most recent 8-14 pushed the warmth a bit more to the west, the normal to first 'warm' now runs thru central VA NW up to Michigan. One or two more pushes west would be appreciated!

41.1/37.5 and raining here in the last hour or so.

LOL, the NC/VA state line getting 200-300% of yearly snowfall.

43.0/32.2 at 1 pm here. Clouds moved in by 9:30 am and locked temps in, NWS has already cut highs down 4 degrees to 48 from the 7 am forecast and that might still be too high. ESE winds at 6 mph.

That 50.6 looks like the high, been a S L O W decent since then, currently 45.3/31.8 at 5:10 pm. Took care of all the snow OTG except for made piles.

Hit 50.6 degrees briefly about noon here, first time above 50 since 11/27. Was a high haze/cloud cover, now lowered clouds, looks like rain soon? although with an 21 degree DP it'll be virga. Temp down to 47.8 degrees at 1:30 pm.

After dropping back into the mid 20's early last evening I played a yo-yo game on temps with a small steady climb. It seemed quite dependent on the cloud cover overhead too. 33.5 at 7 am here with mostly cloudy skies and an absolutely stunning red/pink sky to the east as dawn broke.

Clouded over and temp and DP immediately went up, now 29.0/16.7 at 9 pm.

Went from 38 at 4 pm to 28 at 5:15 as the sun slipped behind the mountain this afternoon. Currently 26.4/12.0 at 8 pm.

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.
