SnowenOutThere

40 degrees outside feeling amazing. Got to only wear my winter coat today without the hat and gloves!

I think a pinned photo thread for all seasons would be a great addition. Oftentimes I’m cross posting my pictures between obs threads and the severe weather thread come spring.

I mean if our clipper falls apart even more it’s conceivable that energy helps make that storm come north. Probably too late for you but Cvill might get into the fringe

Eh it’s what we hoped the midweek thing could be before its energy got split. It happens

I use lightroom to do this. A free alternative is resizing stuff using ms paint though I'm sure theres an easier way to do this.

Anyways, if we are getting a warmer break in our winter I do hope we manage to get some pleasant days out. While the snowpack (icepack?) has been nice I'm ready to be able to go outside without being bundled up. Hopefully will go to Shenandoah this Tuesday to see the frozen ice falls before they melt.

Yep, our historically run in the past 10 years has been a combination of failing to get good patterns combined with the extremely frustrating habit of wasting the patterns we do get. Is what it is but does continue to sting that we are going to exit another rare respite in our bad patterns with two close calls.

I like this storm. Quick dustings-coatings are my favorites because its low stress and still pretty.

Southern/central VA 1-3 inch events have been my specialty this year

Gotta feel bad for them after getting shafted by this storm and the one that hit us. At least we aren't them.

Its a great look. I would replay last weekend over and over again if I could as we got probably the "worst" outcome we could besides suppression given the pattern.

Remember when everyone was calling this threat dead at 12z. Good times. Seriously though we gotta see how our current failure plays out to know what this one will do so we got at least two more days of model swinging.

Yeah would suck to get a total of 2 inches of snow before the flip to sleet and then watch a storm hit south... Seriously though it is what it is and we'll have more chances. Don't need to doom and gloom yet.

If it’s based on this weekend they are completely different setups. Besides this weekend was never a good chance! It had a high upside but the ens barely ever had a 30%+ of an inch!

If you look at past runs like yesterday that had the storm further north we had an 850 low in the Ohio valley which was advecting warm air northward. It’s a delicate balance and id rather be on the southern end than the rainy northern end.
