Those back road heading out of there can be extremely treacherous. Tomorrow looks like a bluebird day with fresh powder from today's uplsope snow. Yup. Life’s short. No need to risk making it any shorter. Just roll with it and enjoy it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was our final total? Best guess. Thanks. Btw if that’s the view I think it is my house is just left of those pines on top the hill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may add my eyeballs to that score. Tidal South River was higher than I've seen over the year. Lotta ice too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can verify that about 10 min from Wisp. S+ for sure right now and winds making vis 500 ft or less for periods of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can confirm! I'm about three miles north of whitegrass and conditions have shockingly worsened (considering it was already a whiteout) over the past few hours. Vis is maybe 50-75 yards. I'll try to attach some pics in bit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 1 hour ago, PhatStorm said: Snowing now for 24 hours in Blue Grass. Guesstimate 10-12" on ground. High today 28, low 16. High wind 39mph. Currently 21/16 with snow showers. Yep, once the snow started here yesterday precip never stopped for 19 straight hours, sadly about 3-4 of those hours were a sleetfest knocking down totals. It was even snowing (and accumulating) with nothing showing on the radar last night. Final was 8.0 on 1.30 liquid, could have been in the 12+ range had it all stayed snow.

nj2va Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Pure CO powder out there. If conditions are like this here with near blizzard conditions, I gotta imagine Jon Jon and Chris21 are getting hammered at Canaan with the higher elevation that cranks out the upslope even more. Such an awesome storm for the mountains.Fozz is getting treated to ideal ski conditions right now — we decided to just chill at the house by the fire lol.

87storms Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Wind has really ramped up (balcony furniture has now gathered around in a huddle). I already can tell the wind is out of the nw as it just rolls right off the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I just shoveled the most horrific glacier of my life. I measured 4.7 inches of snow last night when the sleet started. I dont know how much sleet we got. Maybe an inch and half? All of that was then encased in freezing rain. I can literally walk on top of this glacier. Crazy storm. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, learning that. Incredible conditions that I’ve really only seen in some of our best storms all time. Combo of 2/10/10 visibility and conditions with 2”+ an hour rates at times.

A few pictures from outside shoveling a bit ago: Did some measurements and it looks like an average of 15-16 last hour. Of course it’s been cranking since. As long as we have this strong of W/NW flow, I expect these rates will continue through later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll have to trust yours and mdhokie since its impossible to get reliable measurements with the wind. I have 12” on the driveway but that’s after compaction and with the wind blowing it off to drifts on the side so that sounds about right. 20 minutes ago, WinterWxLuvr said: People have a hard time realizing just how easily it snows up there and how different that climate is. Yeah its literally another world here. Friends visiting still are in awe when they cross the border into the county on 68 and conditions immediately change.

WEATHER53 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Finished shoveling and it’s tricky because the slight slush film leftover refreezes in all shady spots. Unless it dries out by dark there will be some tricky and disguised icy spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
