I was definitely surprised of the dusting of snow we got this morning wasn’t looking for I hope we can get more from these other Clippers that come through but I know my location it’s very very very Low percentage

Yes, there could be some snow about that time on that route, HokieTrax. Pay attention to radar on Saturday. Amounts will be light, but of course those are curvy roads (I drove from Catawba to Blacksburg myself this past Monday).

Just posted new blog entry on lots of things, including the next clipper.

Taking students to the Home Place Saturday….should I be worried with the snow? We are going early, like 5 PM-ish.

Nice to know people worry if the blogulars don’t show up. Quags…you are missed!

I sent Quags a DM on twitter but got no response. I’m wondering what happened too.

I’m so jealous if my parents in Giles! They got 2 inches last night and an advisory is up for 2-4 inches through the weekend. Arghhh sucks to live east of the Blue Ridge! No snow during winter and the summers are hot as Hades!

I will discuss this in the next blog post as well … but tonight has a shot to be the coldest night of the winter so far with winds expected to calm after midnight. X factor is how much cloudiness arrives ahead of next clipper in the early morning. If clouds do start moving in, we may get yet another situation with temperatures creeping upward a bit after falling for hours. If the clouds hold off, single-digits lows will be widespread New River Valley and west, and even Roanoke could get close to 10.

That explains it, Johnny. Though it looks more backwards than upside down.

Austin: Clipper No. 2 arrives Saturday PM. Amounts will be light, similar to maybe a little more than what we saw this morning. Precipitation probabilities are for seeing .01 liquid in a given time frame, so it doesn’t take much to verify those. Will discuss this more in a blog entry later tonight.

Kevin,
70% chance of snow on saturday night according to the noaa. What kind of accumulations are possible in the next 48 hours? And is the moisture associated with a clipper?
Thanks

I don’t know about the rest of yall, but to me this has been about as miserable a day as we’ve had. Got up to 25 here this evening and now 21*. The wind ain’t let up[teens and mid thirtys all day]. The snow was mostly a non-event with the exception of some slick spots. Probably not a half inch here. They stocked some streams Wednesday and then the flood came and it was too cold to fish today, even if the rivers were ok. Spring needs to spring now far as I’m concerned.
