relic Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 reports of 5-7" coming out of the staunton and gordonsville gordonsville is about 17 (edit 15 mi) miles due west of my house. neighbor said about 3.25" 10 mins ago, so that makes sense they'd be closer to 5" range.

CranberryWX Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Highest total from CoCoRAHS network in WV was 5.5" in Boone county just south of Charleston area. Still getting some light snow here at 32 degrees, but everything is dripping with the solar coming through the clouds...brightening up now. Tornadoes to snow in a couple of days...

mattie g Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 I stopped paying attention to this a couple days ago. Good thing - it's kind of painful to look at that radar. Edit: Congrats, Central VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marked8 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Amazing that there are people in this thread who are getting 3X the amount of snow I had for a total this winter. People from Fredericksburg on south have certainly made up for the crappy winter with the last two storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardNole Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 This is like a further south version of that overperforming March, 1999 clipper that got DC (not quite as heavy though) with such sharp cutoffs on either side. Very nice pics from down there. Charlottesville/Lynchburg, etc has done pretty well for a winter with the setup we had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snownut Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 very pleased and surprised with .6 of an inch here. Put my seasonal total over 17" which I guess is pretty good considering what an awful year it has been. swept deck snow into a pile just for fun.
