Thank you! I used a DJI Mavic 3 Classic. I agree that is probably the one that came out best. It is actually why I chose Farmville specifically.

 Thought that was The High Bridge.  Fun place to walk and ride bikes. My  daughter just bought a house in Town.

12/5 3.2 in Forest, VA

About 3 inches down here in Forest.  Light snow continues

Shut off like a switch. 1.8" yesterday and 1.8" today. 2 completely different experiences but hit 3.6" total. Blue sky is in the distance. Should be good photo ops here shortly. 

I'm not really that close to climo. 9.3" on the season and modern climo maps tag this elevated area with 13" around smith mtn. I still give this winter a B-B+ grade based mostly on the feels. Multiple cold events, plenty of snow cover days, and lots of fun tracking.  If i can hit 13" it's an A-. Below norm DJF with multiple events it's not normal or average. It's pretty rare. 

We pulled a 2 yesterday and 1.5 this AM up here in Forest. Fine high ratio powder this AM that melted at the first crack of sun. 3.5 total not too shabby.

Another Lynchburger.. I'm in Forest. 2.5 then 2.8.

Total- 5.3

About. 2.5 snow and sleet in Forest, VA then tons of ZR.. had a departing snow shower late afternoon. Would have preferred snow but the trees look phenomenal. Pics not catching the full glimmer from the sun..

29 and light snow down here in Forest, VA

Were any of the 2009/10 real coldies 

Hey Howard, I'm doing well- I work FULLTIME telehealth  now chatting with my clients. Pretty fun-- 

I still think about your legendary parking job at G&M's crabcakes-haha. How's life treating you?

No matter what happens, the WAA piece looks pretty good for the MA (somewhere) not including my yard lol. Things get muddy with the mid and upper lows but that front part has all the ingredients in place for a hot and heavy stripe. Prob not real fluffy though unless mid/uppers crank a little when mid level winds shift. 

Not feelin too excited here. Maybe an inch or 3 at best before inevitable ptype problems. Pretty good cad area here though. Especially on our land east of Smith mtn. NE surface flow banks up pretty good and the topography between Smith mtn and Gretna is a forrested bowl. Doesn't scour easy as all. Considering this is my 3rd winter spending time here and I've never seen a plow or the grass covered.... I'll take what I can get and be happy AF. 

 

I'm up in Forest but also have a house in Rocky Mount. Welcome to the hood. You picked the non snowy side of the lake.  Weve been looking to consolidate near the and I've already states Goodview was my preferred location:) Marginal events lake warmth will hurt..

Hey you!

Hey now, Howard. It's been a minute.

this really isnt an anafrontal event anymore, the reason why we're getting sm snow on recent runs is bc of a secondary coastal snow forming and undergoing surface cyclonegenesis which throws moisture nw back into the cold sector, this isnt cold front trying to catch up to precip

This. That 500 low goes negative a low forms over South Carolina

FWIW the nam has now closed off the energy coming down into the plains on this run, taking a step towards the gfs. 

 

Most won't remember but when the Jan 2000 storm passed over KC upper air vort (like this one will be close) they had a snow event that caused the icy roads that lead to the car wreck that ending up killing Derrick Thomas, albeit 2 weeks later. Morbid, i get it but I always connect the two.

Looks great for getting outdoor projects done with no bugs and nice temps. We are rarely wetter than normal in a Nina. Looking forward to it.

 

Not that the reverse psychology works, but it seems the Euro and UK seasonal outlooks were promising in the 2 of past 3 winters. I guess last winter had some great features (-nao) with no blocking, so who knows.  That be a super warm winter though.. like you said. 

NYC Central Park has a 40 inch winter and someone complains about it-- Wow.

That's the way the GFS seems to be playing it.  Of course its in the 40s/50s with rain delivering the 7-10 split.  but yes its coming straight at us. 

That flat ridge in the GOM isn't helping anyone.

Pretty stout west based neg nao doing it’s thing there.

Pretty warm out in front-- despite the NAO and lower heights near 50/50. IT's a timing issue where cold air is coming at the same time as the storm. Could end up 300 miles north or south depending on timing.

Didn't we have legit arctic air with that one?  I think I remember smoking cirrus up here in the DC area and it being like 20 degrees for the high.  This one with a very marginal airmass doesn't seem it could produce such a wide swath of heavy snow, 

I live just outside Lynchburg. Was 40 the day before and the day after. Snowed all day with temps in the mid 20's. We did have perfect timing with a HP sliding through but the air was more dry than cold. Take out the precip and we would have hit 40 that Sunday as well.
