Why, you ask?(a) NWS Sterling forecasters are calling for precipitation to begin after midnight Sunday as mixed rain and snow. On the medium and long range models I don’t see any hint of precipitation until around noon Monday, almost 12 hours later wh…
Latest model runs seem to be converging on a track west of here for the forecast low pressure that will affect us on Monday. This means we’ll be on the “warm” side of the system which could lead to little or no snow accumulation. I’m not quite ready …
Weather for the remainder of this week looks like it will be dry and near normal temperatures, with highs actually into the mid-40’s which should help the melting continue. The forecast models depict a system coming through here sometime between late …

It’s been snowing for just over two hours now and the back edge of the radar returns are already halfway through Spotsylvania county. I’m thinking most of our area will be done with snow by 4:15 or so, and since most of it has been melting as it falls…
This is a funny ad, but apparently for a real product advertised in a 1961 issue of House and Garden. I don’t think this would be the breath freshener of choice if you were trying to cover up a night on the town.Hat tip to Sociological Images.

Virginia natives know the law about radar detectors. And any visitor to the Commonwealth has seen the huge warning signs as they cross the border. Welcome to Virginia, but watch your speed!
