Ended up with 5.5” total here, with a light glazing of ice accretion

What was the melted liquid equivalent of that?

2.14”!!!

I still have some sleet mixed in

But I’m seeing some glaze start to form on my grill cover

That’s pretty much all we had in Charlottesville. I measured 5.25” 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

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

That’s wild that your Carter Mountain station was below 29”. Nearly 38” IMBY

I’m maybe 4mi as the crow flies to the west?

4” snow in cylindrical rain gauge

4” snow in cylindrical rain gauge

5” snow on grass

5” snow on grass

3” snow on patio table

3” snow on patio table

2.5” snow on patio step

2.5” 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 didn’t have time to setup)

- ~4” in cylindrical rain gauge
- ~5” on grass
- 3” on patio table
- 2.5” on the patio

I’m assuming that’s from folks owning multiple houses during their lifetime. And also boomers downsizing in their retirement years

Wouldn’t median age of first-time homebuyers be more illuminating?

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 id’d 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.

I’ve 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.

On the Breezewood Interchange Thoughts on a grotesque slice of America

I had been through Breezewood countless times growing up

This is a good bit of commentary on it πŸ˜€

If you don’t mind a little bit of back roads, US-522->VA-231 puts you on 29 in Madison. Worst case, it’s about 20 minutes long than staying on 81

Excerpt from proposed NOAA budget showing zero funding for Climate Laboratories and Cooperative Institutes

Excerpt from proposed NOAA budget showing zero funding for Climate Laboratories and Cooperative Institutes

Proposed NOAA budget zeros out ALL climate laboratories and cooperative institutions.

GFDL, NSSL, GML, etc.

This appears to also end the US greenhouse gas sampling network, including at Mauna Loa, the oldest continuous carbon dioxide monitoring site on Earth.

For #worldbicycleday be mindful cycling is claiming more lives than ever.

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
