  1. Got mesocyclones on the warned storms. Could see a potential tornado threat given some time.
  2. In fairness I said “ripping snow” not accumulating snow.
  3. BTW it has most of that snow fall in just three hours. At least the sounding isn't as bad as the last couple runs.
  4. You forget I was the original bncho years ago. That blood lives on.
  5. It’s happening. Get on the bus. Go all in. 6 inches is my baseline for uva (based on GFS and prior temp forecast)
  6. I started our December threads so I’m down to start our possible last of the season.
  7. Wait what the fuck is going on here.
  8. Definitely no mid level dry air to eat away at the snow too! Just perfect conditions
  9. My favorite "heavy snow" sounding I've seen yet
  10. FV3 soundings seem legit as the squall line approaches. Steep (nearly unconditionally unstable lmao) low level lapse rates. Decent turning of wind with height and sheer increase. Just lacking in the cape department past the LCL. Would need just a bit of a trigger to get some storms I think considering the lower levels lapse rates.
  11. Difference between nova and cvill is astounding. Back in cvill the crickets are out and some trees/daffodils are blooming.
  12. Present but wondering why I’m still in class after the ap exams type feeling. Something could still happen but would take a miracle. Unironically a January Storm redux but somehow even more impactful. I’d be seated for this one.
  13. Pictures from my sunrise Shenandoah trip on Friday. Drove out from NOVA at 5am and had to brave 30 miles of dense fog as I neared the mountains. Then as I started up the mountain the clouds cleared as temperatures climbed through the low level inversion. Had a perfect clearing to the east to see the sunrise sandwiched between the cloud decks. Watched it rise into the mid level clouds with my friend and got some pictures of rain wisps falling in the distance with a lenticular cloud making an appearance (not captured). Got lucky with a brief period of sun rays hitting the cloud deck. Afterwards hiked to Mary's Rock and got to see the difference in cloud coverage between the east and west side of the mountains. Finally we headed back down and saw the sun finally clear out the mid level clouds. Was a magical experience.
  14. Went up to Shenandoah and watched the sun rise above the inversion with a friend! Hiked up to Mary’s rock and then the mid level clouds broke and it got sunny. Could see the mist try to build and make its way up the mountain. At the top it was mid 60s and within 5 miles it was 50s and grey.
  15. I’m up in nova for break right now so I’ll be on the north side of Shenandoah. I need to take a better look this evening but I’ll @ you. Though honestly i plan to nowcast using https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=local-W_Virginia-truecolor-24-0-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined and for you the Charlottesville airport has ceiling height (though not ceiling top).
  16. Yeah… on spring break so I woke up less than an hour ago. Thought the cams looked better for tomorrow. Curious to know what you think though
  17. What sort of convection is it? Elevated I assume since the temp inversion near the surface
  18. Hoping the BDCF clears far enough south tomorrow so I can wake up early and watch the sunrise over the cloud deck in Shenandoah. Been a bucket list item for me.
  19. Spoiler alert it’s freezing drizzle to my eyes
  20. Gradient is tightening and we are slowly losing the battle but around the immediate DC area we're still at -2 degrees.
