tnweathernut Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Can you smell the snow yet? Three guys traveling together, I am sure there are a lot of smells, don't know if snow is one of them. Sorry, but have to try and hold down the "humor" fort for JBurns while he is chasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherNC Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Can you smell the snow yet? We are all snow north of Mineral VA, temp hovering around 33-34. We still have another 60-70 miles to the farm, Teds driving, just a dusting on the sides of the road, but we have a heavier band to go trough before we hit Culpepper, which should be in the next hour. Per Burns at the farm, nothin and 42 about 25 minutes ago. He ate all the meatloaf and rumor has it he's drinking all the wine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it's not "dry" territory you are traveling inn. Worst case scenario, if you're going to the farm,there has to be a moonshine still nearby. PS Don't get shot.

Can you give us an official roll call of the screen names that are with you, sir? Or do they wish to remain anonymous? So far, I've gotten you and jburns. That's already quite a party!

WeatherNC Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The 1st pic looks like 33 and rain. It's all snow, been that way since about ten miles off I64, we had a brief transition for about 20 minutes before it went to all snow. Heavy and wet, still not great crystals but I expect the structure to improve as the column cools. North of Culpepper on a county road and its partially covered, Ted's trucking along at a steady 30mph, with about 25-30 miles to go. Estimate of 1" through Culpepper, probably a little more up here, wherever the hell we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
