BlunderStorm

I'm all for another Frankenstorm. Time to reel it in 16 days out! 

Reporting in to say I'm finally getting some rain up this way.  The grass has had a tawny color for the past few weeks. On the bright side I had very little mowing to do. On a side-note my summer hibernation is over.

What would RI if it occurred mean for the track of Jerry?

Stuck in the haze of summer I have fell silent on the forum. Just checking in to say "Hi I'm still here and lurking" haha. While for the most part it's been pretty dull weather wise up this way I've observed a handful of borderline severe storms. I may at some point later today send a couple of pictures I took of wall clouds.

If I got such as a flurry of what was depicted I'd have a smile. No other globals I've seen support it but what're you gonna do. The global ensemble system does throw some of us in the far northeast a bone but it's mainly focused to the blue ridge and east. Other than the obvious issues of this taking place in broad daylight during April of all months it seems the storm will more than likely stray too far east to significantly affect us. Let's cross our fingers and hope for more support from model guidance.  

Bump. Of note I have a few more flurries to report so that's something I suppose and yesterday I started up the old push mower which had lied dormant since November. "Oh spring how I welcome and dread you so..."

I tried to identify some dams from this map.

Ok, that is just too cool! Also currently 31 and a few flurries fell so it counts as an observation.

Well, as little as it is I am glad to have awoken to a solid dusting this morning.  I just hope I can report over a foot of snow as the bare minimum for my location this season before all is said and done. A little less than an inch to go!

Per, Carver's request and seeing that today is the first day of meteorological Spring I figured we might as well get a thread going. Here's to hoping for warm and sunny days ahead! 

ELO's Concerto for a rainy day really fits the current mood...

I just want a feb 2015 redux....sigh.

Starting the deluge with a bit of a mix at 35 degrees. A trace it is!

I just recently heard some thunder so that's a first for the year.               

As for the snow yesterday I guess I'll pin it at 0.2 from a close friends guesstimate looking at his backyard...

Frustratingly I awake to a grey sky. On the ground I see a little melting snow on the ground. I've almost entirely missed it. Radar indicates it did in fact snow for a time but I have no way of knowing how much.

Now it's 37 with no precip falling. 5 to go maybe 1 or 2 degrees til mixing.

Down to 39 here 7 more to go.  Currently drizzling.

Fv3 is bringing it tonight:

 

I'm the most tickled with it laying 3"+ at Virginia Beach.

Made the jump to try an area near Corbin. 50 or so right now and definitely a different air mass from when I left Knoxville. May end up a little too far south, but we'll see in a bit I guess. 

I would have went to the Ky-Va border and set up on black mountain on the roadside overlook for best results. Hope it works out for you and Kentucky over there. To be fair though this snow looks to be mostly determined by latitude and luck.

Like the next guy I too am not a fan of mild temperatures and rain... soo much rain. But hey, at the very least we have an active pattern. Here's to hoping we get a broad trough in late february with a -EPO and -NAO with an MJO that doesn't give us the middle finger by entirely skipping the desired phases.

I'll have to see a storm out the window at this point to belive it! But the last 10 days of February are actually among the snowiest of winter in the region. It doesn't usually stick around long after but big events are possible. 

Ha, I won't believe it until I see it sticking to the ground. I guess we can dream. I'm afraid to say it but I may go through a winter with no event over 3 inches. Here I was a month ago afraid I wouldn't see a snowfall of over 6 inches which hasn't occurred since early 2016 I believe.

hmm... close but no dice. It warmed too quickly.

A little early to call but I believe today's high is going to be 73 here. EDIT: Make that 75... yep I called it too early. 

Due to the cold over the last couple of days what little snow that has fell has stuck to the road surprisingly.

I would be surprised if it got here. The dewpoint is at 0 degrees so it would really be scraping the bottom of the barrel moisture wise. Just enough for some small crystals I suppose but not enough for larger dendrites that fell yesterday and today.

Currently a flizzard. Always relaxing to watch through the window.
