Brandon: The one after that looks like it might be the real soaker, about next Monday or Tuesday or so. Then maybe again Valentine’s Dayish. Don’t think the word “drought” is going to be needed around here for a while.

Looks like we might finally get a storm to come up the coast around the 8th and 9th. Unfortunately snow lovers, it looks like this one will be rain. And we could get quite a bit of it too.

Agreed, WW. And what has been been falling is starting to break up. Without some reinforcements from further west or SW, as Sargeant Preston of the Mounties used to say to his dog, “Well, King, it looks like this case is closed.”

So far, aside from Bath County where gno is reporting from, not much of the precipitation is even making it over the West Virginia line. Not expecting much out of this anywhere in SW Virginia, maybe some light amounts in spots west of Roanoke.

Wd, In comment 42, what you described… same here!

A bit of a warm up here, from 26 to 34F over past few hours. Still plenty of snowcover left.

Just been reading in my hometown paper http://www.scotsman.com that Scotland is being hit with very stormy weather — 65-foot waves hitting the west coast, 120 mph gusts on the summit of Cairn Gorm. Needless to say that ScottishPower’s wind farms are setting records! In another article today, the UK Met Office is predicting that February could be the coldest in Scotland in almost 30 years.

It’s dark outside, which means it is snowing again in Hot Springs! This time it is glittering brightly. We’ve had perhaps one-half inch to add to the Friday-Saturday-sunday night snows. And more coming. Somehow they manage to clear the highways each morning and off we go.

If you taught in Blacksburg or one of the counties further west, Shanon, you’d have a shot an inch or so. I am afraid that Roanoke city gets a lot of nothin’ from this.

wdbrand – Currently at 9:30 pm, it is 29 in my back yard. Radar looks like the moisture is not going to make it over the mountain.
