I have been living in Virginia for over a year now, and have yet to see any large amount of snow here. I find this strange as moving further up north usually means more snow. When I lived in Georgia I would see up to 8 inches of snow once in awhile but usually just a couple inches every year or two. But so far in Virginia I have only had a dusting at best. We have got everything else, wind, rain, thunder, hail, hot summers, cold winters but no snow.
Me and my foreman talk about the uncertainty of the weather at this location. The forecasts always seem to be wrong. When they call for snow its usually pulled back to rain or freezing rain at the last day or two before they would call for it. But we both know from what the locals tell us we should be seeing snow soon.
So once again they are calling for snow, up to a few inches. But I am skeptical, as they have called for this amount of snow at least half a dozen times since we moved here. Speaking with the locals indeed the area can get blizzards and heavy snow. They said one year they got a few inches a day, over the course of a few days. Which became over a foot or two of snow as it all built up. That would be on a level I never experienced. When I dealt with snow it was usually just one day of snow, and then its over. So many in a row is something that may be quite foreign to me.
Waiting for the snow I know its just a matter of time until we get it here. The pond has froze over in the last year so we surely get cold enough weather for snow, just seems to be dry on the coldest days. And then just warm enough to be rain on the wet days.
I am sure for some they would be happy with less snow, or maybe others live in a place where it basically never happens. But here it suppose to snow just about every year and we have yet to have a good one so far.
Hoping I get to see over a foot of snow some time in my lifetime here in Virginia.
