Moderate snow just started here. 34 currently. Mr. J and I are empty nesters again today so going to do a brunch with GF cheddar biscuits and poached eggs. Then starting some Slow Cooker Pork Chili Verde because tis the day for some yummy soup. 

Enjoy Mother Natures curve balls and enjoy the day with others. :)

I’m just up the road in Parkton, near the dam, and it’s been snowing here since it started an hour or so ago. Not sticking yet but nice fatties coming down. Elevation is 770ft, fwiw.

Yeah, just drove over to graul’s in Hereford to hit the pharmacy by there and it is 35 and more snow than rain. That’s about four miles west of me - so I guess I need to few more degrees to drop off at my place and at least can start the white rain process.

I just took a trip to the store from Western Loudoun up and over Blue Ridge mountain to Berryville and then back about 30 minutes later.

Surface temps here were around 36 when I left with very light drizzle/mangled snow. At the top of Clarke's Gap at 31 deg the mangled frizzle turned into actual SN. Back down on the other side the surface is sitting just above 32 with more light SnowTV/White rain but nothing is sticking anywhere.

It was that way until I got back to the top of the mountain where it was 31 and I started to see some stickage. Back down on the Eastern foothills of the BR it's 34 and the rate has increased somewhat to where I'm getting minor accumulation on concrete and grass. It's all SN here at this point though I am at 800' and right on the edge it seems.

Bottom line - this batch is pretty to look at but not going to really do anything for accums so don't expect much at this stage. If temps dip a few degrees and rates pick up then it could be another story.

All those worried about rising temps should know this happens all the time here.

"A "temperature spike" just before a cold front occurs because the warm air mass ahead of the front is pushed upwards and compressed slightly as the colder air mass approaches, causing a temporary rise in temperature, often referred to as a "thermal ridge" by meteorologists; essentially, the air warms slightly due to compression as the cold front moves in."
