Ended up with 5.5β total here, with a light glazing of ice accretion
What was the melted liquid equivalent of that?
2.14β!!!

I still have some sleet mixed in
But Iβm seeing some glaze start to form on my grill cover
Thatβs pretty much all we had in Charlottesville. I measured 5.25β IMBY, pretty sure about 4 of it is straight up sleet
It was like shoveling damp sand off asphalt
5.25" on the ground IMBY. Finally cracked 20ΒΊ
@traviskoshko.bsky.social Please tell me that precip in eastern Kentucky & Tennessee will fizzle out
4.5" on the ground IMBY at 17.5ΒΊ
Pretty much all of it looks like sleet - it's pretty brutal to shovel. Nary a sign of freezing rain yet

3" is probably going to be the common number

3" on the ground IMBY. Mix of pretty fine sleet and snow falling

Sounds like a sleet fest outside π

Iβm maybe 4mi as the crow flies to the west?
4β snow in cylindrical rain gauge
5β snow on grass
3β snow on patio table
2.5β snow on patio step
This is why the @nws.noaa.gov and their storm spotters measure snow depth on a snow board (which of course I didnβt have time to setup)
- ~4β in cylindrical rain gauge
- ~5β on grass
- 3β on patio table
- 2.5β on the patio

Hi All On Oct 12th at 1250pm my 15yo daughter and I were out cycling and were unfortunately assaulted by a carload of white males on greenwood rd. They initially buzzed us at a high rate of speed while laying on the horn. They then circled around threw a bottle at us while going 60mph coming toward us. I was struck in the chest and injured. I stopped to film them in case they came back while my daughter biked a short distance away. They did come back and then pursued my daughter cursing and terrorizing her. I got a fuzzy video of them after the assault and the police found them up at a house on Newtown road. My daughter and I both idβd the thrower after being shown a picture of him but so far the police have declined to make an arrest because none of the occupants will admit to throwing the bottle. Iβve attached a picture of the car, a red Toyota Corolla with the license plate TZS-3051
Some Albemarle County residents terrorized local cyclists, including a teenage girl.

We *know* how to protect our neighbors. The tools are available and proven. But as a locality we simply choose to not make those interventions.
Certainly didn't get as much as other areas, but had 3.18" in the rain gauge this morning. About 2" of that fell between 5pm and 11pm last night
