Here's the link to what I was talking about:

I've looked at this a little too much over the past 3 days (I've got a cross country race in VA Beach on Saturday morning that is going to suck big-time due to 3 inches of rain and 35 mph winds). Based on what I've seen from several sources, I'll bet you guys get between 8-10 inches.

By the way, Roanoke has received more snow this year than Fairbanks, Alaska.

My favorite part of that was Sch14 painted completely white.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHH

You may be the only other person with a picture from that game. Unnecessary.

[JDUB]

Everyone on campus is buzzing about snow tomorrow. What do you guys think? Will school get delayed or canceled?

[Hold My Own]

My guess:

Closed tomorrow Delay Wed

Storm starts at 5-7am on Tuesday and ends 5-7am on Wed. 90% chance for 2" 60% for 4"


Having a delay on Tuesday wouldnt make much sense since it will be worse as the day goes on, a delay on Wed makes sense because it will give crews a few hours to clear the main roads

[rueful]

I cant believe the four years I was at LU I think we got like 4 inches except that crazy storm last year with 6. I move to Illinois, brace myself for snow, and it all heads to Lynchburg

Miss ya, Fumble.

Miss ya, Fumble.

Indeed!

On the 460E offramp to Candler's Mtn Road (just past LU, the left-hand exit), there's some dude in his Grand Cherokee stuck on the other side of the guard rail. I have no idea how he could have gotten there. There are no tracks, he's nowhere near where the guard rail starts or ends, the jeep's not flipped over, and he's still in the car. It's just odd.

LU on a two hour delay this morning... not sure why. No announcements about the rest of the day...

Also, high wind warnings tomorrow. Winds between 30-60 MPH.

[jcmanson]

A 2 hour delay is an announcement of plans for the rest of the day.

It just doesn't make sense. There was nothing to delay for this morning.

I was figuring they'd close school early, but opening it late didn't make much sense. I was hoping the 2 hour would turn into something else, like a closing, but that's not happening either. Instead, we got a 2 hour delay, and now I'm going to have to go to class in the snow (not an issue, since the weather really isn't bad enough to merit anything, just seems inconsistent, doesn't it?)

The agency I work for closed today. I'm not sure exactly what time the decision was made, but I'm pretty sure they're regretting it right now. Could have opened as usual and then closed early if necessary. Now we lose a whole day of services and will probably have to open late tomorrow too.

LU announcing a late opening at the beginning of a snowfall is puzzling. One would think things will get worse before they get better.

Exactly. Especially since 7:40's have been bombarded all semester by ice and snow.

[ATrain]

We were open and on-time, and the worst through the Roanoke Valley WAS this morning when a 2-hr delay would've been warranted.

so i just saw the 10 day... more snow for saturday, then we are supposed to also get snow monday and next friday

this is just getting retarded now, im going on vacation to florida or hawaii for the next month while the city of lynchburg thaws out

[ToTheLeft]

That's because you're using the least accurate weather site out there. Use Wunderground or Accuweather, neither one gives more than a 1/3 chance of snow any day in the near future.

[Hold My Own]

That's always the case for that far out. It's like the map that had VDOT, LPD, Airports scrambling saying we were going to get the snow DC got...it was only a 20% chance b/c a lot could happen between now and then.....you'll see those % firming up the next few days and about 1 1/2 days out you'll see totals start to appear in the forecasts on Wunderground

[ToTheLeft]

Looks like temps will be in the 40's on all the predicted "snow" days, anyways. I think we're past the accumulating snow showers for this year... I hope.

[Th3rd]

i hope so as well.... this is already the most snow i have ever seen, quite frankly im sick of it

[ALUmnus]

Looks like temps will be in the 40's on all the predicted "snow" days, anyways. I think we're past the accumulating snow showers for this year... I hope.

I predict accumulating snow in both March and April.

Then I'm moving.

[Hold My Own]

Well I'm not trying to scare anyone but Lynchburgs biggest snow falls have come in March. Warmer air meeting lower air but Temp's being around freezing....or something like that

Found this interesting from the Weather Channel Twitter today...

If storm squeezes accumulating snow into FL Panhandle, it will mean EVERY state in the U.S. (Hawaii mtns. too) has snowcover by Sat!
