Weather Update - Current Storm

Sunday 12/2 3:00 pm. We have had about an inch of snow through the day today. The temperatures are cold. It's about 16 degrees right now up at the top of the valley.

Sunday 12/2 9:OO pm. There is a small layer of sleet over everything but still no major precipitation. The temperature has risen to about 18 degrees....wow, a WV heat wave! Keeping an eye out.

Sunday 12/2 Midnight - It is 25 degrees and raining up in the valley. How is that possible? Your guess is as good as mine. The rain, by my house at least, is hitting the ground and freezing. BE VERY CAREFUL IF YOU ARE DRIVING!!

Monday 12/3 8:45 am. - 32 degrees and raining lightly. There is a thin layer of ice on everything......so I repeat, drive carefully.

Monday 12/3 10:30 am - 34 degrees and intermittently sunny. Not much in the way of accumulation. Everything is sort of a goopy (is that a word?) glazed mess.

Monday 12/3 3:32 pm - Light flurries. The sun melted most of what was on the ground. Temps dropping again....25 degrees. Only the tiniest of snow and ice on everyone's driveways.

Monday 12/3 8:00 pm - Light flurries continue 20 degrees. Not even an inch on the ground.

Tuesday 12/4 10:30 am - We got more snow overnight. Weirdly enough though there seems to be more in town than here at the top of the valley. I got an inch or so at my house and in town it is more like 3 inches. So if you are coming up expect a bit more snow in your driveway if you are closer to town. Right now it is 16 degrees and still snowing. No power outages to report in the valley.

Wednesday 12/5 8:45 am - The storm has seemingly passed. We ended up with anywhere between 1 to 4 inches depending where you live in the valley. Driveways might be slippery so beware.

I am going to end this post here. I will start a new one if we get more winter weather. Safe travels to people who are coming to the valley.

PS - Always keep in mind that these weather reports are coming from the top of the valley. If you live closer to town it is several degrees warmer and usually a bit less snowy.
