    Going on a jebwalk to take some pictures!

    Wow. I’m at 33.1 with heavy snow and nothing has really stuck yet. For the last 15 minutes I think I’ve still lived with just enough rain to stop accumulations. Now it’s all snow and slush is building up
  3. SnowenOutThere
    Thanks. Surprised I’m getting a switch to all snow and heavy snow at that without the norlun setup yet. Hopefully bodes well for the people outside of it later

    Seeing the reflectivity decrease across the ffx county/louden area probably means we’re going to get out of this rain snow mix soon into a more snow dominant ptype

    Got any tools I could use to see where it’s setting up? I’m right next to Dulles and am liking where the banding has been.
  6. SnowenOutThere
    Dropped into 33 degrees but still a rain snow mix.
  7. SnowenOutThere
    Oh that is squared perfectly over my backyard.

    Big flakes mixing in with rain now. 50/50 mix I would say. Temps have plummeted from 36.7 to 34.5 in the past hour as winds continually shift more north.
  9. SnowenOutThere
    All rain where I am but the rain itself is probably an 80% liquid and 20% solid type concoction.
  10. SnowenOutThere
    In the past hour or so temps have dropped into the upper 35s and winds have shifted from due east to now solidly northeast. Solar radiation is also beginning to decrease. I expect areas near where I am to switch to snow within the hour or so.

    Assuming all the high reflectivity around the Dulles radar is snow melting then snow is in the air a mere 400 feet above me.
  12. SnowenOutThere
    We’re right next to the radar site so how far up is it seeing that snow melt? Would think it’s not even 2000+ ft up in the air

    H5 trough is going neg tilt with the surface low directly east of Virginia Beach. Not much to hate about the setup. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=regional-eastcoast-truecolor-96-0-100-1&checked=map-h5ana&colorbar=undefined

    Which website should I use to track where the low level winds converge as this evening gets going. Weenie in me wants to say where the current band is setting up on the radar (overtop you and next to me) is where the Norlun will appear but I don't know.
  15. SnowenOutThere
    Looking at the SPC 700mb FGEN and I'm loving this band which is slowly rotating with the cyclonic flow. Hoping it'll spread west some and move west as the low starts to get tugged by the H5 ULL. Would align near perfectly with the DGZ too.
  16. SnowenOutThere
    Really starting to see the precip shield reblossom as the coastal low starts getting ready to crank.

    If you want to see something fun go to 511 Vdot and look at any of the cameras at the Shenandoah passes. Full on winter wonderland with wet snow coating everything but the road. Meanwhile cameras even 500 ft lower have all rain
  18. SnowenOutThere
    Just had a batch of chunky rain
  19. SnowenOutThere
    I think we’ve definitely been hurt by our elevation in some minor squall events or lighter storms before. When I was in high school id drive through central ffx county where the elevation was 450+ ft and there would sometimes be noticeably more snow there. Always interesting to see how much elevation effects our microclimates
  20. SnowenOutThere
    Hmmm make that band move maybe 5 miles west
  21. SnowenOutThere
    Under that band of rain setting up over Dulles. Thinking the higher reflectivity is melting snow aloft so hopefully can cool down to the surface
  22. SnowenOutThere
    Man I’m so excited to see nice big puffy flakes tonight. Love it when we get a saturated atmosphere just above freezing.
  23. SnowenOutThere
    I know we are super close compared to most posters geography wise. I’m 390 ft and 3-4 miles southeast from Dulles.
  24. SnowenOutThere
    Hoping to get the norlun trough. It’s half the reason I came up from uva! Wanted to make sure I experienced this historic storm firsthand
  25. SnowenOutThere
    Quick question should my wetbulb temp be35.5? Just seems a bit high
