Blustery, cold, with funny little snow showers starting about 2 and going for several hours, but not amounting to anything. They weren't even the pretty ones--with the giant fluffy flakes; just round, hard little pellets.
11/28/2013 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Thanksgiving has dawned brilliantly clear, but cold. No breeze tho, and when the dogs & I went out at 7 AM it didn't feel bitingly-cold, even tho it was 24 degrees!!! Absolutely calm; not even a breeze stirs.

1/3/2014 9:30 AM 0.15 M M 2.5 M brrrr! 16 degrees at 8 AM. Just came in from shoveling--last nite the snow was heavy and wet; this morning it's powdery. Wind woke me at 5:30 AM, howling and banging. Still blowing now, in bone-freezing gusts, but seems to have abated some. Sky is brilliant blue with no clouds. The sun is surprisingly warm; if the wind would drop it would be quite pleasant, I'm sure. In places the snow is 6" deep from wind drifts; in places the grass is showing. The average depth in a protected place is just about 2 1/2". Melted snow in gauge funnel just now; only .15.
1/4/2014 8:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 10 degrees this morning! 7 when I went to bed at midnite last nite! But sun is bright and warm, no wind, and actually it doesn't feel so terribly cold.

1/10/2014 8:00 AM 0.10 M M M M I opened the bedroom window this morning when it was still dark, but I could hear the water flowing out of the drainpipe into the roof gutter, so I thought the weatherguy was wrong. When I went out with the dogs a short time later (just getting light), I did a little buck-n-wing slipslidingaway dance. It probably was quite amusing to any passersby, but set my heart into a rumba rhythm... It did NOT look slick; even the black-topped road, which seldom is frozen when there's ice only on grass and sidewalk, proved to be a skating rink. But I crept in safe and sound to the warmth of my house--where I intend to stay ALL day!
1/11/2014 8:00 AM 0.09 M M M M cardinal's song greeted me this morning, as did the little metallic "ching" of perhaps a sparrow. A lone goose flew over, low in the heavy fog which has blotted out all features more than a block from my house.

1/22/2014 8:00 AM 0.14 M M 6.5 M a wonderful bright day after yesterday's blizzard. The wind blew so hard that in places in the yard there is no snow. In other places it's up to my knees. I figure here in Charles Town, we got about seven inches.

The birds enthusiastically are celebrating this wonderful, beautiful, exciting and special St. Valentine's Day. The only sound I hear outside is the birds, a train whistle (which enhances everything twofold) and a neighbor scraping his driveway. This is a day to embrace fully--and roll in the snow!

9/5/2014 8:00 AM M M M M M home from a pleasant week w/old friends at the Northern Neck where the weather was fabulous. Had .33" of rain in the gauge but not sure when it fell last week. Thought we might get a refreshing shower an hour ago; when I was out and looked West I saw rain streaking from the clouds over Martinsburg. Heard a teeny thunder-rumble a bit ago but nothing now. And it looks as tho it's clearing in the west. We sure could use some rain! multi-day
9/6/2014 2:00 PM 0.00 0.0 M M M it was HOTHOT and sticky this morning. Now it's overcast slightly and breezy and seems cooler. Just heard a growl of thunder but looking outside the storm appears to be to the north, rumbling down the Potomac.

9/8/2014 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M brrr--surprisingly chilly this morning...56 degrees! Guess that's a portent that this lovely summer is winding down. Put a lot of my veggie garden to bed yesterday (it was a spectacular, cool day). Sigh. how I will miss picking some yummy things for dinner. Becoming overcast. When I look out the east window, I can see the river "smoking" (the Shenandoah--I'm too far to see the actual water but I can see the mountains). Bet it's a lovely sight from a low-flying airplane.
9/10/2014 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M huge bank of clouds moving to the east; sun just beginning to peek over them. A tiny mist of rain yesterday during the day gave a minute amount of moisture in the gauge.
