TSG

awful, send it back

Check out what's happening down here near Cville on radar. Lots of lift coming through in the next few hours. These bands are the real deal. edit: Culpeper is about to get smoked

SN/SN+ in Charlottesville ahead of this band coming in from the West, all but paved surfaces have caved. Wind picking up finally. 32/31

you made the right choice heading back to Arlington, so far pretty boring down this way. No real wind to speak of yet. I do like that the HRRR has some back-building that keeps the snow on until early afternoon

Seems to be all snow in Cville. Ratios not great in-between bands. Fatties mixing in 32/31

March 29 for CHO

CHO hit 81 off and on for ~20 mins starting around 1:15 today. Beautiful breeze out there. I love windy days like this.

Cold is holding strong down this way. Only 45F at CHO at 1pm after a low of 29.

78 in Charlottesville! Busting way high

Is this what we're doing now? Winter is over? Fine with me, I'm ready to get some sun. A+ January in Charlottesville, we averaged 3.0F below average from Jan 3rd-31st and depending on what measurements you look at it was somewhere in the top 5-10 range for Jan snowfall since 1920. I measured ~18.5" at my place. Hadn't seen an epic pattern like that since living in DC in 2015. We also got REALLY lucky with the mid-month storm. Never got above freezing here during that event so we maintained the snowpack for about 4 weeks straight. Would've been nice to have another 1-2 storms to track, but I broke my thumb skiing late Jan so the season ended for me then and there... bring on severe season! Overall winter rating: B, short but sweet for western-central VA

I do agree things seem to be shifting a bit if looking at the last 5-10 years, but winter in the Mid-Atlantic has always been much better predicted by astronomical winter (Dec 21 - Mar 20) than meteorological winter (Dec 1 - Feb 28).

I remember that storm well. Huge disappointment in DC proper, warm layer ended up pushing north way faster than projected (classic). We got like 3" of sleet after a half inch of snow

Big fat fluffy dendrites! Immediately sticking

HRRR shows a strong band moving through around 12-1. I think a quick inch is still doable

Congrats to the Northern crew, y'all deserved this one. White rain in Cville since I got up at 7. Hoping those heavier bands to our SW come through and give us a quick coating-1"

00z HRRR is running

One more hour until the long range HRRR

Someone with Euro access, want to post some boundary layer temp maps from start of precip? I'm curious what it's predicting vs the GFS

you might get the "most improved" award for any regular poster on here. It takes a while but you learn to roll with the punches. I certainly was waaaay more emotionally tied to chasing when I started in college. Bob Chill is the best example of what we should all strive for, he knows when it's time to care and model watch and when it isn't

it definitely takes the edge off bad model runs

There's a few posters that should look into a medical mj card, or maybe a xanax Rx. I have to imagine some of you are taking years off your life at this point do it with me.. BREATHE IN, 1.... 2... 3..., BREATHE OUT

CHO jackpot will not be denied #snowtownUSA

In Ji's dreams last night

The Charlottesville <-> Dover death band will not be denied
