Cute Thomas, with the upside down question mark. Do you have a keyboard produced in Spain or Mexico? They use upside down question marks in Spanish.

Doppler Carol, assuming that the Weather Wizard posts this promptly, here is a Sunday morning surprise for you. From the World Almanac of 1994, page 171. NOAA wind chill table in effect back then. Temp of +15F, wind of 45 yielded a wind chill value of -30F!!

Another Squall just started in Galax, not as intense as the last. Only about 1/2in snow on the roads, but slick.

I HATE ice. I hope DT is wrong, but because I hope he is wrong, he is going to be right. I want a darn 3ft snow. not 2 inches of ice!!!!!

As Appbrookie notes, some rather potent snow squalls pushing through the New River Valley down toward the Galax area. Several spots could get white in the next several minutes.

Oh gosh, now Jared is sure to exclaim about snow in Myrtle Beach and probably zippo in his yard.
