Reviewing my event snowfall forecast and I think I did pretty well. Only real miss was underestimating how far east the northern extent of the 2-4 would reach as it ended up getting close to Cville itself.
-
Ah, I've considered if its worth upgrading to that one. I didn't know Farmville had a bridge like that but its only an hour and a half from where I'm at currently so next event I might need to make the trek down there. Once again though those pictures are just amazing.
-
Final shots of the snow (heavily compressed if anyone knows how to seamlessly link to an actual image hosting site please let me know!) before I'm forced to lock myself in a windowless room for finals studying. I've loved getting to track this storm from the synoptic stuff down to radar nowcasting and then getting to enjoy it while it snowed. Thank you to everyone who posted in this thread!
-
Amazing pictures! What did you use to shoot them (especially the drone shots as they seem far nicer than what I can get with my mini 2). As others said that bridge shot is something special.
-
BTW @NorthArlington101 Euro has the Monday storm with a significant jump northward to get snow flurries close to the DC metro area. The 12z CMC also had a more consolidated precap field as well FWIW.
-
Looking at the bottom image (and from talking to @brooklynwx99 earlier) we need to have that low of Alaska to retrograde off the coast more (which it has been doing in more recent runs) in order to pump up the PNA and get more amplitude for our shortwave(s). Would be fun to have a rather strong storm pop into existence within a couple days of the event which isn't impossible given how the right pieces are all there.
-
To comment on the actual dynamics of next week I haven't really checked the models much as I was outside for 11 hours yesterday but looks like lots of NS vorticity flying around so models wont have a great handle on events. Either way we have the cold in place and a good upper air pattern so all we need is to get lucky. Additionally, if we get that bowling ball over us our lapse rates would be insane enough to help out any system that does form (12z GFS for example).
-
Please god lets have this somehow be right because look at this sounding I don't know how to draw up a better one. Gets over an inch of snow per hour for six hours and a storm total of 8 inches. Would probably go down as my favorite event if it happened verbatim
-
Last winter's January 3rd snow squall was awesome. Had 2 instances of thunder snow (with lightning flashes!) as it switched from graupel to dendrites. Just wish it lasted a bit longer to get accumulations above .4 of an inch
-
Yk what I think I should be allowed to create more threads in the future if we’re getting snow 12+ hours it was supposed to end.
-
Well I like to think that my skill has something to do with them too lmao. But the d850 is 45mp flagship dslr camera so it’s pretty much a professional camera.
-
Nikon D850 with the 24-120 f/4 lens for all of the pictures I've posted. I'm lucky where my hobbies of meteorology and photography align quite nicely (though meteorology is SO much cheaper lmao). Besides, if you think that picture is nice that is the 50% quality 4 times downscaled pixel wise version that AMWX lets me upload.

The students weren't the only ones on Grounds enjoying the snow today!
-
Did a basic ruler measurement which showed that I got somewhere between 3-4inches of snow (since compacted to 3). I’ve been up since 3am and outside for 9 of those hours so now it’s nap time before lighting of the lawn (holiday light snow) and the midnight snowball fight
-
UVA's chemistry department's amazing decision to make our group exam online over zoom is currently going great. 1. No one knows which group to go in 2. No one is able to access the questions 3. No one knows how to submit them. Meanwhile I am watching snow fall outside my window this is cruel
-
Think I’m around 3 inches at Cville which definitely makes this a good storm
-
Now all that’s left to do for today is take my online chem exam in 15 minutes then go on a walk with my hopefully more than a friend in the snow on grounds
-
@NorthArlington101Hope this suffices for my UVA pictures from this morning
-
Wow this storm deathbanded both UVA and Reston up in NOVA, the atmosphere must really love me today.
-
Cville has grass fully covered and roads have caved. Since around 5am we’ve been getting dendrites with moderate to heavy snow and look to have a couple more hours left too
-
Been out photographing since 4am give me a break I don’t wanna miss morning light by the Dell
-
Yep, it’s where half of NoVa ends up
-
Legitimate heavy snow for the past hour or so with great dendrites and I look to be good for another couple hours with good dynamics. Hope some of that makes it up to you guys!
-
Huge dendrites sticking to everything right now
-
Oh I moved (went to college) at UVa so I’m in Cville for this event. In Fairfax I’m just south of Reston town center.
