Officially a meteorologist! yay.

It’s out here in the mountains. edit: hopefully it’s gone before graduation Thursday… edit2: imagine if this were snow…

It’s that time of year too. Spring patterns can be rough sometimes.

Interested to see what happens with the morsels of CAPE and LLJ combo… I have some guesses, but will wait until tomorrow…

I need these clouds to go away!!!

I noticed that yesterday, I really hope there’s a conveniently timed gap.

grading for blacksburg: D. I don’t think we got to half our mean snowfall this year. There were 2 huge ice storms that were just annoying. When it did snow, it impacted travel to AMS, so that was annoying. I might be able to allow a low C just for the cold, and the mood flakes from upslope.

I had some cool pea sized hail today from an odd storm that had a really cool streaky look from the precip / hail.

Does Pivotal Wx obnoxiously freeze for anyone else? It’s annoying having to change tabs to unfreeze it.

I could not be graduating with a met degree at a worse time. I don’t know what my next steps will be. May is an eternity from now. I could go grad, but I worry about funding and research.

Roads covered in Blacksburg, but I wouldn’t say it’s any significant amount yet, probably not a quarter inch yet. Walk to class will be enjoyable at least! But: I can see dryslot approaching?

They may use fresh data from weather stations and planes, and perhaps any special balloon’s launched. The 18z GFS seems to do better than 12z from what I’ve seen playing in WxChallenge.

11/21: 0.1” 11/22: T 1/3: Wasn’t Present to get Squall amounts 1/5: 1.1” 1/11: ~3” with upslope 1/19: T 2/11: ~3.5 ish Probaby missed a few half inch events and stuff like that.

Well, I have what could be my last snow day before I’m officially a meteorologist… I’m scared.

I think I still have the 14gb data file, but I might want to add this years data too and request new data.
