Somehow through a quirk of my unpredictable schedule I will manage to be up here to witness this.

35/27 and patiently waiting for the goods by the fire…

Hopefully you brought good mojo! 35.8/26.6 IMBY now. Was disappointed to see LWX drop their forecast from almost 3 inches in Oakland to under 2 tho. Satellite presentation on the vort looks good at least.

Can see flakes out in Garrett Co. on several of the traffic cameras here...   https://deepcreektimes.com/other-area-webcams/garrett-county-state-highway-webcams/

Staying up to hopefully see my first flakes here in blacksburg. I think I’ve seen one but could have been a bug. If I haven’t yet I should in the next hour or so.

[Rhino16]

Flurries have begun!

Annnnnd we’re on the board for ‘23-‘24. Currently 27.5 and SN. Measured (albeit poorly) about 0.8” so far. Let’s see what sunrise brings.
