  1. Side note don’t ride a bike in the rain, it won’t end well for your backside
  2. Don’t worry guys the high reflectivity over Cville is not mixed snow but instead just melting snow aloft and heavy rain at the ground.
  3. 2009 being in there is pretty hype
  4. Cross posting to banter since I doubt many people are still looking at the aurora thread (till next storm at least). That said, next storm if anyone would want to meetup at Reddish Knob, Sandy Bottom overlook (Shenandoah) or Spruce Knob Dm me when the time comes.
  5. Got the 1st substorm on camera then my tripod falling and breaking my lens combined with an 8am class made me retreat before round two.
  6. Do all of that and that’s how to get a shot like these! (From WV/VA border and 4000+ ft at 12:30am)
  7. As a photographer enthusiast all you really need is 1. Tripod 2. 10 second shutter 3. Lowest f stop possible lens (2.8 is good) 4. 1600-3200 iso 5. preemptively use manual focus on a distant light to ensure your focus is good! Happy photographing!
  8. Yeah it left some killer outflow boundaries behind it
  9. Got some good shots on the WV VA border but missed the substorm by 20 minutes
  10. Upslope is weird. From my adventures yesterday it seemed like some areas just kept getting bands while others didn’t for seemingly no elevation reason. Then it kept snowing all the way into VA without any clouds overhead on the drive back.
  11. Saw it for a bit in Charlottesville before the clouds ruined my fun
  12. I saw that, it seems like models differ on if itll hit either late tonight, tomorrow midday (bad ofc), or tomorrow evening peak
  13. I believe that flare would hit Wednesday or Thursday night while the one tonight is seperate
  14. Was quite the adventure! First two hikes I went on were pretty tame with 1-2 inches on the ground (too far north I think) before I headed 10 miles south and got a hike with 3-4 inches on the ground. Couple intense bands punctuated the day as well. Will post some pictures when able
  15. Heading into WV. Snow had started near Monterey Virginia and temps dropped below 30
  16. Can’t wait to go hiking out in WV tomorrow! Will probably get to Gaurdineer Knob right around 9am and hike for a while
  17. The 12z GFS folded almost completely for how shallow it originally showed the trough. Might be good to keep in mind for later this winter.
  18. Latest GFS run stunk pretty bad, worse than 12z for the mountains as it had a less amplified and less deep trough.
  19. It'll be interesting to see where the short term models bring this if it doesn't completely fall apart before then. Either way my Monday classes are looking real skippable if WV is getting 2-3 inches OTG and daytime snowfall.
  20. Latest GFS does something interesting with the primary costal low as well and honestly gets close to snow from a completely different route
  21. Also if I did decide to pay for a weather site which one is the consensus pick?
