  1. Does anyone know how accurate the daily climate data reports are? One said it snowed a trace along with a trace of rainfall on the 16th of this month, but the low was 42… I’m having a hard time believing it.
  2. At least you’re safe! Forecasting is hard from what I’ve learned trying to do it. Someone described it as it’s like guessing where the first bubble will appear in a pot of water on the stove.
  3. Then it warms up again very quickly to 60! I think because the air warms coming down the mountain.
  4. The first wooly bear I’ve seen was all black. However, it was dead. Not a good sign.
  5. Had James Spann as a guest speaker today. Interesting speaker.
  6. I wasn’t even checking the forum, was busy with tests and weekly forecasting contests at school. I appreciate the reminder, but got sick so didn’t feel like making one this month.
  7. One of my met profs is a complete snow lover. Just makes me like the class more.
  8. DCA: 11/8 IAD: 11/7 BWI: 11/8 RIC: 11/7 BWI Oct Dep: +1.3
  9. Instructor pulled this up in class, and everyone started applauding, it was funny.
  10. Canaan is weird. It was apparently almost as cold there as somewhere in the rockies. (Can’t remember where, wasn’t paying attention in class)
  11. VT’s Met club will have a table there so I’ll probably go home for that!
  12. 67° in Blacksburg after some rain earlier, really nice to have some cool weather. Also just finished Skywarn so that’s cool.
  13. Similar story here. My side of town has 1”-1.5” and downtown has 5.5”
  14. Missed the heaviest rain in blacksburg, but down near the stadium has had 4” or more and flooding occurred. Guessing I have half that despite being only a mile and a half away. Also: poor planning for the game.
  15. Apparently Richmond got some good wind? All I got in blacksburg was some big raindrops before met club. More rain on the way though!
  16. Does anyone know what’s going on with that super warm blob in the TT Sea Surface Temperature map in the North Atlantic view? Underwater volcano or something?
  17. We touched on it in class, but I forgot to ask, does corn sweat actually change the storms in the area in any meaningful way?
  18. I could use another Jebman blizzard scenario to get the snow brain racing.
  19. Very good albeit sad post. That’s a lot of time to put into something! Also a reminder I need to freshen up on my statistics.
  20. +0.8 _ +0.6 _ +0.4 __ +1.2 _ +0.9 _ +0.8 __ +1.1 _ +0.3 _ -0.6
  21. Went for a walk with a coffee and it was so nice outside. Maybe a windows open night.
  22. Hopefully your planning works out. Please have a safe night!
  23. I admit, I didn’t look at the NAM too closely after your original post. I wasn’t sure if there was some bias/bug thing the 3k NAM does sometimes. If the numbers it was showing verified somewhere, then cool! I haven’t been looking at weather stuff much at all except for in class when we look at the models and stuff.
  24. I got absolutely soaked on the way to weather analysis, and was super cold. Fun seeing how all the moisture came from the gulf in that round pattern.
