Look for sleet and freezing rain tonight. In fact there is some falling in Mount Crawford right now. Stay safe and stay off the roads.
The National Weather Service has also issued a Flood Watch as well. All of these conditions are going to make for an interesting night.
Yesterdays snow depth measured here in Mount Crawford was 4.25 inches.
Looks like we have some snow in our Forecast for Saturday Dec. 5th. If anyone has any good snow pics, please be sure to send them to me and I will post them here.
It looks like the later part of this week, it’s going to get colder. Winter is here. Make sure you take care of your pets, and that your home heating system is operating efficiently. It is also time to get out those thick coats, gloves, and hats.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our site visitors. My family and I wish you a safe and joyful holiday. Be safe out there today.
Pretty Day here in western Virginia. Most likely the last time we will have warm enough weather to be able to disassemble the rain gauge. My paint job on my rain gauge mod did not fair well due to the sun’s ultraviolet rays over the summer. So I took it down this morning, sanded and cleaned up the outside surface of the funnel real good. I am currently waiting for the adhesive on it to dry, so that I can reapply some plastic compatible paint to it. Hopefully the paint will dry enough that I can get it back on the stand before dark comes this evening.
I also took the time to clean off the Solar panels, evict spiders and their egg sacs. The battery on the inside temp/baro/hygro was also showing low, so replaced that.
www.mountcrawfordweather.org will soon be ready for the hard task of reporting this years winter conditions. Please note, that the site may be down a few times today, as I still have some maintenance things to do.
It’s a little early in the season to see snow. However if anybody sees any snowflakes let me know, I would like to post it here. If you get a picture of it snowing I will also post it here.
Well it appears that I got the webcam time lapse fixed again.
Now it appears I am getting alot of Russian spam to this site, and email as well. Luckily I have measures in place that it never gets through to the site and you my users.
I am having issues with the webcam time lapse videos, so at this time they are not being updated. I am working on the issue with others, but I have not still found the problem yet, to even begin to start to fix it.
The forecast for today includes a Wind Advisory in effect. Be sure to tie down outdoor items, and hold onto your hat. I wonder if we will be able to break our all time wind speed high? http://www.mountcrawfordweather.org/sumalltime.html
