  1. The December 2009 blizzard is seared into my memory. That winter as a whole is really. It was my senior year of HS, living in Falls Church at that point. I had faint memories of the '96 blizzard and clear ones of 02/03 and the Feb 2006 save, but that was just something I had never really witnessed. I think that storm is the one responsible for setting me on the path to weather weenie. I started checking out weather forums around then. And that was all before the onslaught that was to come in Feb lol
  2. Slightly larger than pea-sized hail with the cell that just cross Charlottesville. Best storm of the year so far!
  3. Makes sense that they would put some extra time into the schedule in case something doesn't go as smoothly as planned. Under promise, over deliver
  4. Today's haze is a lot like what I remember growing up with all summer in the 90s/early 00s in NoVA. Bittersweet in a way
  5. Smoke seems to be getting a little lighter at ground level in Albemarle, but it looks as thick as it has all day overhead. Maybe a product of the sun angle at noon? 219 reading to our East at Zion Crossroads (Louisa). The Hollymead sensor on PurpleAir north of town has been reading low the past few days, seems like it's somewhat protected, maybe indoors.
  6. Round Hill or Mordor?
  7. A large part of that is the phone is adjusting it's exposure/white balance settings as it takes each successive photo that then gets stitched into a single image. Your brain does the same but it's subconscious and not frozen in time for easy comparison.
  8. Picked up 0.65" with that line that came across Albemarle between 1-2pm. It really blew up just to our SE. 45k ft echo tops on that cell near Powhatan.
  9. 1hr later: up to 1.99" with the heavy stuff now tapering off
  10. comma head forming over Albemarle? up to 1.62" on the UVA Weatherbug station
  11. Where's the guy with the big green hornworms? Need to see those things hatched to truly get some closure on the disaster winter we had
  12. CHO hit 88 twice this afternoon. At or above 85 from basically 3-5pm. Almost felt like summer today
  13. Nice little band coming over the mountain now that should produce, it dropped snow in Staunton 20 mins ago
  14. yeah but I moved from DCA to CHO 3 years ago. My allegiances have changed!!
  15. Cherry trees are blooming in Cville We hit 70 around 1pm today and stayed there through ~4:30. Beautiful afternoon.
  16. This has been brought up and discussed before. I believe the consensus is that the increasing humidity has been keeping our temps down in some of our recent torchy summer stretches.
  17. 1.07" at CHO and certainly felt like it, yesterday was one of the wall-to-wall rainiest days in recent memory.
  18. 68/54 as of 7:40pm on a stiff SSW wind at CHO The air feels thick
  19. 70/43 at CHO as of 1:10pm 3:30pm update: boss-man told everyone to go home and get outside
  20. Wxdood has 89 posts since joining in 2014, half of those are probably in the past hour, and before yesterday hadn't posted since March of 2019. I smell an alternate, troll account. Stop taking the bait y'all
  21. Worked from home today, had the local westher on. Couldn't help but laugh at this map. What a year
