Ahh Yes.

Have not updated for quite some time now, and it is hard to type with frozen fingers. But that cold shot I mentiond in a previous post has delivered, while not int the form of snow, but in cold temps. Currently here it is 26F, with light winds. Awesome for some October snowmaking. At 6:10am, I set out the ground gun. To my delight, a white substance began to accumulate.


Plan to run until around 8am.


But yes, Another trip to snowshoe happening this afternoon, and snowmaking this morning. Awesome Friday the 13th.

Next Week...
Computer models are trenduing cooler, and a freeze, even outside of the higher elevations, may occur next week. Last night, we bottomed at 38. Snowshoe, WV officially picked up a trace of snow overnight, making it the first accumulating snow of the season. A poster at EasternUsWx reported, and posted pictures of snow in highland county, Less than an hour North of here.
If temperatures permit, the first snowmaking may occur here, as well as many resorts in the East. although it is 7 days out, the NWS in Blacksburg has already projected a Friday high of 49.
As far as local pictures, I am heading to Warm Springs Mtn as soon as I get off of work, so hopefully will be able to grab some nice shots and video clips. Even if it isnt snow, the foliage is peaking across the higher elevations.
