Liked your comment last night about hearing the coyotes. I went out to get wood in at 8:30 p.m. and heard a pack of three of them howling. Got my wife out to hear them it scared her. She’d never heard them before. Just goes to show that the animals are definately in tune with nature.

Kevin- even we rabid lurker/readers will post to defend you. Thanks for all the time and devotion you give to this enthralling blog. No room for mean people or comments here! I spend an inordinate amount of time reading the posts and comments- so much so that my hubby calls you my boyfriend – as in: what is your boyfriend saying about snow accumulations ?

Taking the Future Cast very literally … my side of the Roanoke Valley gets 1-3 inches while the official stations at Roanoke Regional Airport and even NWS-Blacksburg get less than an inch — and there is a snow hole in Craig County.

Let’s give it a test to see how close it is, but I agree with David, take it as general guidance rather that specific projection. I find it often shifts hour to hour pretty widely sometimes.

We are perfectly OK with Kevin getting sleep whenever he wants/needs it! We are just grateful for whatever time he does devote to this amazingly useful blog!

Vicki, I would take your projected snow hole with a grain of salt at this time.

It amazes me the rude comments that people make on this blog. I check this blog everyday and have for years. Kevin- as always thanks for all that you do! We appreciate your hard work and dedication

Looking at that futurecast, I see a sizeable snow hole mostly over where I live. Can they predict that accurately? I’m glad I don’t have to make school closing decisions either.

Precipitation has made it as far as Lee and Scott Co in VA and Kingsport, TN. Reports of northern areas have snow and southern areas have sleet and freezing rain. Temperatures are around the mid twenties in TN and low twenties here in VA. We are to see 3-5 inches of snow maybe mixing with sleet. The Tri-Cities is predicting snow, sleet, freezing rain and then rain and temps going to 35 there. They say about of 1″ of snow there. We are definitely on the dividing line between ice and snow. Most all schools have already closed in our area. Will keep you all posted.
