TSG

Approaching an inch, although I missed the first 1/4" so we're probably there. Didn't get my snowboard and camera out until 5:30. I'm doing a time-lapse of the storm I'll post here later

SN+ in Cville. This band is legit 31/31

We've got about a half inch here in town now. Moderate SN at the moment. 31/31

50/42 1012.1mb

2:10pm - 64/56 in Charlottesville @ 1006.0mb

Mostly the latter. Temperature differentials across latitudes is at the core of weather across the globe. With the warming not being uniform I think it's fair to expect the relationships to change from what they have been in the past. I'm not an expert on ENSO state or it's specific atmospheric effects though so how/what the downstream effects might be is beyond my knowledge

The high latitudes are warming much faster than the equator so I think it's more likely to disrupt what we know as the base state than to give us more regular Nino conditions.

Dude everyone wants it to snow in here. The difference is we all don't moan about it week in and week out when it doesn't. We get that you're invested and want to learn but the constant reiteration of the same statements over and over is exhausting. "It's a nina so it's pretty much a done deal this winter will suck".... you've said that like 20x over the past month. It adds NOTHING to the conversation. Like if you really believe that why are you here, go outside and enjoy the blowtorch I don't want to mute you because you seem like a genuinely nice person... but I'm sure others already have.

It's absolutely an answer. What did you want him to say? would "stop crying like a baby" have been better?

Andrews is over 200ft above sea level and isn't surrounded (currently) by 47 degree water. It is also much less urban out there than what's surrounding DCA. Hard disagree.

Lowest dews of the season by far. 40/17

This is exactly how I think these should go. Have a few people lined up from the forum with a topic or two to discuss and maybe we bring in some "guest" speakers from other sub-forums on occasion. Finish it off with a Q+A session, or people can post questions in chat that can then be answered as we go.

There's always two sides to a coin. Arctic sea ice is at it's highest extent since 2015 and is higher than 2007, 2011, and 2012 as well. Snowcover has proven itself about as useful as tarot card reading imo

Ragged?? Looks pretty healthy on visible and lwir to me.

Plenty of thunder and lightning from this cell just north of Charlottesville. Downtown just barely getting grazed to the north.

Late September through October gets my vote.

First band racing North just crossed through Charlottesville. Elsa has arrived!!

Not trying to be "that guy", but your link doesn't mention this being documented before the cicadas emerged. Their original story from June 11th says "in the past 10 days" reports started rolling in. End of May/beginning of June was the cicada peak around DC. They also mention this is now being seen in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky... three other states that also have Brood X. Seems suspicious to me.

clean up on aisle tropical, @stormtracker

2014 was an epic summer in my book, last year I taught sailing full time on the Potomac.

77/70 Clouds cleared out for a while, but we have high altitude junk coming in from the SW now which is limiting heating.

Some high clouds, but decent sun making it through. 77/70, up from 73 at 1pm.

We're getting flurries all the way down here in Charlottesville!

Sleet coming down in Charlottesville. 44/12

And Baltimore for comparison
