Paste bomb. Prettiest snows by far

Yup. Stars out, dead still, and down to -0.6° already. Bit chilly for early December.

That’s what WXW1 will be for

This was in the middle of the night when everyone lost power. My Cannon Rebel is balls.

Thanks! We just got our lights hung in time for the snows.

How the fook do you commit two turnovers on THE SAME PLAY??? Jeebus this team is hot garbage!

Wow no kidding! Nearly a foot for the valley lol.

3.2 we should easily get below 0

I'm surprised that no one responded from the field. More than likely, it's because they also don't know. Here's a link to the Occupational Outlook Handbook (forecast slower than average growth in meteorologists/atmospheric scientists): https://www.bls.gov/ooh/life-physical-and-social-science/atmospheric-scientists-including-meteorologists.htm#tab-6 Although the link was updated in August, it does not appear to fully encompass the role of AI. That's probably because a lot is not yet certain. But if evidence from early inroads by AI in such fields as accounting, computer science, etc., is representative, AI could reshape the profession, shifting it away from forecast production to risk interpretation/impact communication. Basic forecasting, which is algorithmic in nature, could become far more automated than it is today. The meteorology profession will likely shift the human focus to areas that can't easily be replicated by algorithms or machine learning. At the same time, meteorologists will likely need additional skills in areas of machine learning, data science, and AI training due to their much greater exposure to AI/AI-related tools. Depending on when your son might pursue a degree, the curriculum could differ from what it is today. Prospective colleges/universities can provide greater insight.

The Varina COOP observer updated their total as of 8pm to 3.5" and there could be another tenth or two added based on the radar trends. Looks like they may be using that observer for the Richmond airport, @JB Fins.

It’s a good thing we do complex so well

Pair of goose eggs.

Beautiful home! Snow changes everything especially with Christmas decorations up.

Wasn’t expecting much this evening but that narrow band delivered. Picked up a quick inch at my house. No idea what to expect tomorrow. The hi-res models are way north, but none of them handled what happened today well. The EC-AIFS has been steadfast on nailing the metro for days and the other globals caved that way. It’s done well in this pattern so there’s that to consider too.

Regardless of the other indicies, the -AO is always the savior for us. Many times over, when it dips down good things always happen around here. Pattern suppression for the win.

It’s the trade off to like an unnecessary cool 42F night in the summer, while south of the Pike is enjoying 60 dews.

Lost power for a few hours, still 6 inches at 30.9. Still, this is the biggest surprise storm since 12/26/2004.

thinking 1 to 3 between tomorrow night and Wednesday afternoon

Also, a pretty unique hazards map for us. .

Supposed to get down to 14° tonight!

It also harcnear 50 there last weeks storm 12 hours out

Dreaming of a White Christmas...WB 18Z GFS.

Will feel like summer

Challenge is the schedule has been absolutely insane with the league having to adjust for the two week break. Maybe play him every other game or something. But with the way the D has been crushed with injuries I don’t think they can afford to have him just play 10-15 minutes a game
