  1. The problem I have is, there's ALWAYS lots of chances, then slowly as we close in on the dates..... *poof*. This is true with 90% of all the models. I'd rather they show nothing and then hone in on an idea 5-7 days out, a LOT less exhausting. Maybe I (we) need to just watch the first 1/4-1/2 of the model runs and go from there.
  2. Maybe that restart thing will work...... this time?
  3. We ALWAYS have wind. We could have a 1050 high right overtop of us and we'd have 20 mph winds.
  4. Two separate 5 minute squalls came thru here today, one at noon, other around 2:30 pm. Both coated everything then done, but pretty as it fell. Currently 30.3/14.5 at 5 pm with W 12 gusting 22 winds. That is one thing we haven't missed on, gusts between 30-40 mph all day.
  5. Well got 3 flakes from that first line, lol. A bigger (and snow squall warned) line headed this way, let us see if it makes it. Currently 36.8/25.0 and cloudy. 0.89" of rain from yesterday's event, much needed.
  6. It has soared to 50.2/49.6 at 11:45 am with rain and fog. Eyeballing the gauge looks like another .25-.33 has fallen. Time to refire the woodstove, it got a break with the mid 50's temps last few days, but that will be long gone by this time tomorrow.
  7. Well I certainly like the trends this run. Steps in the right direction.
  8. 0.13" at 7 am CoCoRaHS report time and 49.3/49.0 with light rain and fog. Hoping for a lot more! Maybe another 3-4 hundredths since.
  9. At 7 am it was 43.5/39.3 after hitting 37.6 around 2 am. Amazing the number of times that has happened since Christmas.
  10. Well, we have half the championship game, Miami beat 'Ol Miss 31-27. ACC shows up.
  11. I've been lucky a few times in last 6-7 years. I'm hoping for an AREA WIDE major hit, it is needed.
  12. Acceptable. Now we only have to wait 10 days, or until next run.
  13. So @Bob Chillmoved and took the snow with him?
  14. 39.2/33.5 at 11:30 pm. Forecast low was 41. I think the mostly clear skies that started about two hours ago throwing things off.
  15. Clouded over around 10 am, currently 54.2/34.4 at 2:30 pm with some radar returns overhead though nothing reaching the ground.
  16. Best event was the 15.9" of snow on 2/12. Even got a call from NWS Blacksburg confirming what I had on the ground due to a 15" report from a spotter 5 miles away earlier. Why? Because forecast was 6-8" lol. Needless to say a BIG forecast update took place within the hour. Second would be snow OTG from 1/6 thru the end of month, 25 days! Third would be the erratic rainfall for summer and fall, with weeks of dry then a one day 2 incher to only run off!
  17. Currently 27.5/24.6 with some high cirrus filling in from SW at 7 am. 27.4 for the low.
  18. I can't remember if it was last year or the year before, but about ALL the south facing flowers/bulbs came up, then disappeared in Feb when a couple near zero nights took care of them.
  19. Noticed a couple of wife's Crocus bulbs 'peeking' on the south side of house today. Sheesh.
  20. Spent last two days getting a start on next year's firewood. 59 yesterday and briefly hit 60 today. Still can't kick the wind out of here, 26 mph gust yesterday and 33 mph NW gust around 1 pm today. Temp dropping like a rock since 4:30, currently 43.4/32.9 at 7 pm.
  21. Same down this way 2016-2025 calendar year total 193.6, a 19.4 average, almost 7 inches per year below 1991-2020 average. 2023's 2.0 and 2024's 5.7 were absolutely clusters down here. Last year's and 2018's matching 41.4's semi-saved a terrible 10 year run.
