magpiemaniac Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Today looked fine until I scheduled a Friday tee time a couple of days ago. Let’s face it: we don’t know what the weather intends to do up until an hour beforehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But early in May it is possible at some of the lower (5500') elevations like today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinstonSalemArlington Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 3:32PM-We got #snow mixing with rain over the #WestVirginia mountains and #graupel out over the #Virginia #Piedmont as showers continue to pivot through. Most of this activity will shutdown after sunset as our front pushes further east. #swva #vawx #ncwx #wvwx https://t.co/v89IV0XMb4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 Had a strong storm move over us but 10 minutes of heavy rain only dropped .20" and that was it. Hopefully we will get more later today. Big storm blew up just to my south and east and missed mby. Did cool us off to 70 from 84. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpiemaniac Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I thought most of today’s thunderstorms would be to my south, but I was pleasantly surprised to pick up 0.27” when a quick cell moved through earlier this afternoon. We seem to be in an “anything helps” dry period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthHillsWx Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Only 0.02” after the overnight rainfall as the storms faded and missed me to the south. 0.40”for the day though, which I’ll take! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 Just got done with a surprise little storm and actually picked up .28" from it. Total so far today is .48". First time we have gotten more than .25" in a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Man, I’d take this setup back in January! Perfect for 33 degrees and cold rain... Currently a very cold 47.5 with a gusty NE wind and steady rain. 0.08” so far on the day but at least it’s steady and widespread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
