12/1/2010 7:00 AM 2.19 M M M M 2.41" for the storm total. We had a flash flood warning, but I could not see any flooding where I was at.
12/2/2010 7:00 AM T T T 0.0 0.00 A few flurries on and off through the day, but no accumulations.
12/3/2010 7:00 AM T 0.1 T T T This was a bit hard to measure since it melted on most ground-level surfaces, but accumulated on car tops and decks. It was a heavy dusting that I was able to measure, but not enough to get a measureable water equivalent. Light snow started falling lightly in the evening and accumulated to a dusting by late evening. Additional light snow fell overnight. Flurries were still in the air this morning as well.
12/4/2010 7:00 AM T T T 0.0 0.00 Flurries and snow showers all through the daytime and into the evening. No measurable accumulations though. Flurries again in the morning as the precursor to the Clipper.
12/5/2010 7:00 AM 0.30 3.7 0.30 3.4 0.30 Light flurries in the morning gave way to moderate snow by midday that began accumulating on some surfaces. By 1 the snow intensity picked up and was sticking to everything but the roads. By 4 the roads were beginning to get slushy but the snow began tapering off shortly after dark. Periodic bursts of snow fell during the overnight hours.
12/6/2010 7:00 AM T T T 2.5 0.22 Flurries and snow showers off and on during the day and overnight. A light dusting in sheltered areas, but exposed areas showed no measurable accumulation due to the winds. Some of the previous snow accumulation blew around and drifted in the wind too.
12/7/2010 7:00 AM 0.01 0.1 0.01 2.5 M There was probably more measurable snow accumulation, but because of the winds it didn't sit still long enough for me to find out...I had to measure this in a sheltered area this morning, but several snow showers that blew through put down dustings of snow before the winds took them. A fair amount of drifting occured though.
12/8/2010 7:00 AM T T T 2.0 M Just flurries during the day and some overnight.
12/9/2010 7:00 AM T T T 1.5 M More flurries in the morning, but they finally ended during the day.

12/13/2010 7:00 AM 0.02 0.2 0.02 T T There was some light drizzle and sleet during the day, but nothing measurable. SOme brief moderate snow in the evening around 7-8 dropped the snow that was measurable, then the winds picked up and blew it all over the place. Still getting wind-driven snow flurries and shower.
12/14/2010 7:00 AM 0.02 0.5 0.02 0.5 M A heavier snow band aligned over us from about 7-10 last evening to deposit the snow, even with the winds.
12/15/2010 7:00 AM T T T T M A few remaining stray flurries in the morning hours. Winter Storm Watch up for another 3-6 inches of snow and sleet, topped with freezing rain.
12/16/2010 7:00 AM 0.16 1.9 0.16 2.0 M Snow began falling sometime over night after 2am, and was falling at a moderate-heavy clip during the measurement. Sleet had begun mixing in too, which will hold accumulations down a bit here. Still forecasting 3-6 inches of snow & sleet, and then possibly a tenth to a quarter inch of freezing rain. A typical southwest Virginia mixed-bag event with what we affectionately call 'crusty snow'...which is snow that turns to sleet and freezing rain before the precipitation ends. Only rarely do we get all snow and nothing but snow in a storm. Usually those are strong Clipper systems or strong 'Miller A' snowstorms that pull a ton of cold air and moisture through on the backside from the Great Lakes.
12/17/2010 7:00 AM 0.61 2.0 0.61 2.5 M The snow totals were greatly impacted by sleet, which was mixing with the snow in the early morning and had become all sleet before noon. Then it became freezing rain the rest of the day with a little more than a tenth of an inch of ice glaze. The best storm total for snow I was able to measure was 3.9", though that may be a tad low because I did not get a chance to measure it before the freezing rain had begun. But it did cause the snow and sleet to compact into a very dense layer of nastiness that is near solid ice this morning.

12/19/2010 7:00 AM T T T 2.0 M I forgot, we actually had about an hour of flurries yesterday morning as the main system passed well south and east of us.
12/20/2010 7:00 AM T T T 2.0 0.59 Some overnight snow showers put down a very light dusting in spots.
12/21/2010 7:00 AM T T T 2.0 M Flurries continued through much of the morning, though no measurable accumulations.
12/22/2010 7:00 AM T M M 1.5 M Some overnight and morning drizzle. There was a little bit in the rain guage, but not to the 0.01" mark.
12/23/2010 7:00 AM T T T 1.0 M Some drizzle during the day, then snow showers and flurries in the evening and overnight.
12/24/2010 7:00 AM T T T 1.0 M Flurries and light snow showers throughout the day and into the evening. Snow measurement is an average of a few spots. Some are bare, while others have snow ranging from a half inch to over an inch and a half remaining. So I just split the different since there's more snow-covered places than bare.
12/25/2010 7:00 AM 0.08 1.7 0.08 2.0 M The snow ratio was very high according to what I measured, though when the snow began falling at 2am it seemed like it was fairly light and fluffy which it did appear to be. Snow still falling, though it has slacked up quite a bit. I'll be interested to see what the southern stream system brings our way this afternoon through tomorrow morning. Merry Christmas!
12/26/2010 7:00 AM 0.25 2.6 0.25 3.5 M Light snow in the morning continued for a short while after yesterday's measurement for another .1" of snow. A fair amount of that melted in the daytime hours before the new snow began, and some of that melted on contact before sticking later toward evening. The light snow continued and ended sometime after midnight, accumulating 2.5". The storm total for both portions of the storm combined for 4.3" of snow. The morning portion of the snow had very high ratios well over 10:1 (closer to 20:1, which verified by checking adjacent measuring stations), I think because that was a northern stream system working with colder air, while the afternoon/evening snow was wetter at 10:1.
12/27/2010 7:00 AM 0.09 1.9 0.09 5.0 0.49 We got a heavier snow band that sat over us beginning in late afternoon that ended around 1030 or so in the evening that dropped the fresh snow. That was on the backside of the main storm system, which brings our snow total to 6.2" from the storm.

1/19/2011 7:00 AM 0.01 M M T M A few light rain showers and some drizzle, barely measureable. Another storm system where the actual precipitation fell well short of predicted QPF. Unfortunately that's been a trend largely going back for nearly a year now, and our drought is creeping back due to the shortfall in total precipitation. Thankfully it's winter at the moment, though if this continues to spring and summer, it's going to be a lot worse than last year.
1/20/2011 7:00 AM T T T T M A sprinkle during the day, then some light, brief flurries in the evening.
1/21/2011 7:00 AM 0.02 0.1 0.02 T M Some light drizzle and rain, then a brief period of sleet, then sneet, then snow as the front passed through (roughly from 11-12). Then some flurries and snow showers overnight as the upslope stuff kicked in. The measureable snow occured with the frontal passage, but mostly blew away when the high winds started up.

1/26/2011 7:00 AM 0.08 M M M M Light rain and drizzle overnight on the warm side of a winter storm. Supposed to be getting snow today, but we're still well above freezing so we'll see...warm day temps plus the rain removed the last of our snow at the house, though in places around the area snowpack still persists where drifts developed and have been sheltered from direct sunlight.
1/27/2011 7:00 AM 0.30 0.1 M T T Was not able to measure the core value since most of the snow that fell melted almost immediately and/or turned to a slushy layer that later froze. Most of the precipitation fell as rain, the rest fell as 'white rain'.

2/9/2011 7:00 AM T T T T M A few flurries the morning of 2-8, but some heavier snow showers in the evening around 10-midnight put down a light dusting of snow before evaporating and blowing away in the wind.

And the HPC is projecting another 2"+ storm Wed-Thur! Flooding may become a big problem here, we had flood warnings for streams and creeks yesterday, the rivers may start to become the flooding problem if we do get that much, they're already well above normal now.

5/14/2011 5/16/2011 7:00 AM 3 1.38 M M We went on a 3-day camping trip for the Blue Ridge Beltane Festival, and had a wonderful time. While it rained and stormed at our house frequently, but 100 miles NNE where we camped we only got a few showers, and one overnight storm. Otherwise, the weather was perfect for the camping and festivities.
