WVclimo Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 After the temp bottomed out at 27.4 an hour ago, it has climbed steadily to 29.0 with light freezing rain and an occasional pellet. Melting down 7.4" of snow now to get the liquid equivalent but really surprised how powdery it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Oh man. Once we had 6-7" of snow which turned to a long period of freezing rain putting a half inch crust on it. Afterwards an arctic blast came in and temps crashed to the teens and you could walk on top of the snow without breaking through! That night there was a full moon and the reflection off the solid ice was other-worldly. Everything was silver. We were taking chunks of the ice and letting it slide down the long hill behind the house and you could hear them continuing down through the woods. Another time we had a full 24 hours of steady freezing rain with 25-degree temps leaving three solid inches of ice on everything. Spend enough winters here and you will see some wild stuff. That's why we have so many weather weenies here -- we get a lot of mild, boring winters, but sometimes winters are NUTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess that half of our winter events have mixed precipitation of some sort. Snow to rain isn't terrible if it gets really cold afterwards. Glaciation helps with snowcover days. Ruins sledding tho My favorite by far (and also rare) is thundersnow during a bombing low off the coast.
