Precip breaking out in SW VA by hour 100. edit: FOOOOOOOOLKS

16/7

I found another fellow weather nerd in chemistry class today. we talked about severe wx ingredients while we finished our periodic table and electron configuration lab today. he has his own FB weather page. I went back to community college and we are aiming for the same degree (meteorology) after we transfer

After the storm, the GFS is at or below freezing nearly every day for the rest of the run

lol, there are like 3 users now who are all in Dover DE and vicinity (me, Tito, and the Magnolia guy) when it used to be only 1 (or was it 2)

We'll get snow, don't worry. Also, it's generally frowned upon to ask about your own location in storm threads, but asking about a broader region is fine

ICON: snow starts around 6 AM or so Sunday morning, if not a little later.

Good lord. Never seen it that high here

No way dude, you could literally be across the street from me for all i know!

Good lord, this is some serious wind.

Yep, and then it'll backdoor again in spring for weeks on end.

TSSN reported with that storm. Numerous on the jan 3 CAPE storm thread around sunrise

didn't jan 3 2022 suddenly appear out of nowhere because of a block?

but what about the 10 foot wide area of destructive interference over the maritime continent?

I know of a certain storm in march 24 years ago with even worse luck...

beautiful snow flakes. borderline cold smoke? its cooold.

first jebwalk of the winter! 1/4 mile vis. side roads caving. pond frozen. all on dec 5 i saw a wall of snow down the street an hour ago then bang. lake effect style. like florida where it rains on one side of your yard and is totally dry on the other.

Looks like southern DE or the southern peninsula near Exmore will be a good chasing spot.

What a sharp gradient. Lol

It just hits a fooking wall just like Dec 2018! edit: 250 mb jet dynamics look poor, that's probably why.

I remember last december before christmas one night it was about 20 degrees in the dover burbs, i drove west and it was about 11 by the sandtown dump. that area radiates well for some reason.

smells good out there. smoky fireplace/campfire smell outside coming from somewhere + cold crisp air like tonight = perfection.

i can feel the warmth.

You are right considering Mark Margavage's degree curriculum only includes up to calculus 1 and just synoptic meteorology, a far cry from the standard education requirements one must achieve to call themselves a meteorologist: https://catalog.wilkes.edu//preview_program.php?catoid=13&poid=1760 https://wilkes.meritpages.com/stories/Wilkes-University-Awards-Degree-to-Mark-Margavage-of-Edwardsville-Pa-18704-/7693061 a standard meteorology path should include up to partial differential equations and a whole slew of thermodynamics and dynamics classes. 99% sure he never took any of those classes.

that is why i will move to new england when i get the chance
