It was snowing hard in winchester about an hour ago.  Beautiful parachutes. Left costco and there was about 1/2" of slushy snow on cars, patches on asphalt, and whitened ground.  Continued snowing nicely until i hit stephens city limits.  Snow tapered to very light fine flakes per normal and there was nothing on the ground.  Got to my house and the driveway wasn't even wet.   Truly the armpit of VA.

That's not far from average for this time of year

That is true, but when trying to retain snowcover till the next storm, it is annoying when it shoots up into the 40s.

Funny, I didn’t think I’d say this in what looked like an incoming -enso -pdo +qbo torch of a winter where one of the top analogs was 22-23, where we couldn’t even get below freezing half of those nights!

It’s crazy how easily you can get used to those mild temps. It’s all about perspective, just like how we feel like 40 is a torch right now!

Ended with barely a coating in Burke tonight. Heaviest stuff was no more than 5-7 miles away. Oh well…

Yeah, I mean I get it, but I got 6 inches from the last storm and I'm still seeing a fair amount of it around 10 days later. Hard to complain about that. Now, the scraps will likely melt the next two days, but then hopefully get replenished on Sunday before our next extreme shot of cold.

Big difference this time is we’re tracking another potential snow event instead of staring down an 80 degree day in January like last year
