Imagine this turns out to be another Eta situation where recon gets in there and it’s hasn’t changed intensity. Not saying it will but would be really funny
GFS actually has snowfall all the way into Shenandoah this Friday. Personally I just hope WV gets something and it sticks around till Friday midday when my tests are over for the week.
Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to get my hands on it. Though next semester when I’m in lab for the class I’ll have access to it and will use it to create a scew T diagram!
Wonder if tonight (or the next few hours at least) may be a case of arrested development where there are very high cloud tops and intense convection but the storm isn't quite stacked enough to take advantage of it.
What do you think the best place is for upslope hiking wise? I’ve been at spruce knob before but I don’t know if I’d want to try that road when it’s snowing.
Went hiking from bottom of Ceder run to Hawksbill peak in Shenandoah (around 3000ft elevation gain) and got to walk through all the different levels of fall colors. Best leaves are from 2200-2700 ft on the mountain.
All the leaves were pretty much dead. Seemed like it was either summer leaf color or winter bareness. Still was very pretty. Here is are two only lightly edited pictures (first faces east, second faces west)
