Sounds like you had enough for a football game tonight and for a basketball or ice hockey game tomorrow night. Are some of your guests sleeping in a manger right now?

Had .60 of rain and now under a dense fog advisory. Hope all are safe as they travel and celebrate with family friends. We had 27 for dinner tonight and expecting 14 tomorrow night. Then sleep will come along with more rain and possibly some snow. Doug, sorry to hear your dog is under the weather. We have nursed our share of animals.

The winter storm watches to the north are primarily about ice — some snow/sleet to start. I don’t give specific travel advice, but if you drive on Wednesday morning, be alert to the possibility of ice wherever you go. Probably won’t be long lasting toward Roanoke/New River valleys, but could be some ice on bridges/overpasses and shaded roads here and there.

Under a Winter Weather Advisory for 1-3 inches of snow. I’ll take it! But.. I was looking at the NAM Clown Map.. for the NRV.. and it showed snow for most places that were expected to get rain. What’s with that?

The two biggest areas are still on the other side of the North Pole.

Rain mixing with snow and blowing snow in the afternoon..
visibilities down to 1 1/2 mi… that is in-house metro…not NWS…
We-ll see. Bodes well for white SWVA in a few days.
