Fun trip!

For those on this board who don't know me well yet, I love to chase events...especially winter events.
I have been ill and slept most of the day yesterday. Could not sleep last nite so I decided to chase this event. I live about 25 miles from the Blue Ridge, ideal for such an event.
Rain all the way up, and as I approached the 2000ft mark, sleet mixed in. This was a tad before 4am. By 4am, it was all snow. Had 2 flashes of lightning, which one was around the time Roanoke was 38 with a thunderstorm.
I am back home now in Forest, just outside of Lynchburg. When I left, there was about 8 inches on the ground with 2 ft drifts. Took a 300ft drop in elevation to see a drop in accums. Tree damage is well underway .
Have pics to post...and 20 minutes of video.(Not gonna post that..LOL)
