It’s snowing in Roanoke!

With only about 3 weeks left of winter, Roanoke is finally getting some snow. Some measurable snow that is.

It all started last night. I woke up today and noticed there was a very light dusting outside in certain areas. The snow was only sticking on about half of my yard, and the roads were pretty clear.

Here are some pictures of spots with the heaviest snow in my yard from earlier this morning.

For the rest of the late morning and early afternoon it was quiet outside. Then, around 2PM this afternoon the snow started back up, and it has been putting it down pretty good since then

Here are some pictures from other areas in my neighborhood around the time the snow really started to fall.

It’s getting a little slushy on the roads and it’s starting to accumulate on the grassy areas.

So, another otherwise lazy Sunday afternoon is now just a little more exciting.

Still snowing very hard and it’s a thick, wet snow. Starting to accumulate quickly. At my house there is about 1 1/2 inches now.
