Statement as of 4:12 PM EST on February 29, 2008
... Light snow accumulations possible in higher elevations of
southwest Virginia...
Temperatures in the higher elevations of southwest Virginia...
mainly at or above 2500 feet... are hovering near or just below
freezing. Some snow accumulation will be possible through the
evening... with up to 2 inches expected... with isolated higher
amounts possible. The snow may mix with or change to rain before
ending. The precipitation is expected to end around midnight.
yes we saw that - they put it up an hour after it started snowing and an inch already accumulated.
Problem with that statement....I've being the snow too, and it's accumulating, however, I'm not at or above 2500 ft....yeah. Then again, it did say mainly.
But finally a day where people can say the forecasts are wrong, lol..for some at least. (A meteorologist WKYT in Lexington, KY mentioned that he thought the models were underestimating the cold air today and that forecasts may bust, and once again, he was right..exact reason I follow their forecasts). Of course, this a day where spotters and the public, should be relaying their current weather and such to their local stations keeping them aware (might want to tell elevation too), so they can adjust..as it's been raining for others and the radar doesn't always pick up the change. It doesn't help that the conditions out of Wise, are never shown..the airport never has what's occurring...wish they would change that. Speaking of the TWC, they are usually pretty bad with forecasting anyway, haha...just wanted to throw that out there, they don't do well with local forecasting (although everyone missed today's event).
i've seen nothing but rain all day
Me too, nothing but white rain all day.
haha
here in pound, it's finally starting to mix in.. Nothing major yet
Been going for a while here. From late morning to now, but it was just off and on light snow/flurries earlier. Been snowing pretty hard for a couple of hours. Ground is covered nicely, while the roads are becoming slick and covered now too.
For us it started sleeting a bit right at noon. After 1:00 there was some real snow. About 2:00 it was pouring snow. It's still coming down hard. Roads are getting a light cover on them.
