What a difference a day makes! From 😎 to 🥶. The temperature difference from 87° at Richmond yesterday at 3 pm versus 32° today at 3 pm. Unofficially, the 55° 24-hour temperature difference is the the highest we can find since 1948. 1978 (51°) and 2014 (50°) came closest.

What an amazing cold stretch in the coldest month of the winter. I measured 5" thick on a near by pond in Powhatan. The ski Slope is epic as well.

The slopes are open after four nights of #snowmaking
the drought conditions are making the water sources a challenge, with low spring flow and the main creek running really slow, as a back up

Crazy Blizzard up here at Canaan Valley, Wva. Looks like I picked the right weekend to come. White out conditions, the snow is going sideways. View from Valley View Road at Timberland

The northern end of #CanaanValley is part of the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge and is also the location for the VA. Tech Meteorology weather station, often the coldest place in North America.
On this morning, a cold front rushes over mountain ridges.

I don’t know who to credit for this video yet. Will share when I know. It is a local and the video was shared in my family’s group chat. Downtown Chimney Rock, North Carolina is completely gone 😔

A tease to Fall for many this morning with temps in the 40s & 50s. Washington DC observed a low of 59 deg. marking it's coolest August low temp in 20 years. Mountain locations woke up with a touch of frost & lows in the 30s. More of the chill tonight. #MDwx #VAwx #WVwx #DCwx
ALT Background photo shows frost up in the Glades area of Garrett Co. via our trained spotter in the region. Lows ranged from the 40s and 50s across the region with 30s in the mountains.

Low of 32 on Virginia Tech's sensor at Canaan Valley, WVa, this AM. But meteorology professor Dave Carroll is on site at Dolly Sods in eastern WVa where he measured unofficial low of 25 with heavy frost evident.
