One rainy day gone, another to come

We came out of Friday with .87 inch of rain in Roanoke and no real flooding problems anywhere. The rain came slowly and steadily for the most part and didn't cause bad runoff.
It looks like another rain system will be headed our way on Christmas, and there could be a threat of heavy rain. Any wintry precipitation at this point would be limited to brief freezing rain or sleet at the start and maybe a few snow showers at the end.
I think slowly and surely, the pattern is evolving into a more wintry one, but with so much mild air in place there's probably a few more inches of rain between now and first snowfall. Late week toward New Year's bears some watching, but at this point, I'm thinking another cold rain.
