Just had thundersnow again, and it’s absolutely puking again

I just heard it in my Spotsy area as well. 

Large flakes in Spotsy, but just went out and I’m hearing some pingers, but I expected that.

I'm not sure the intricacies (and uncertainties) of meteorology will ever be fully appreciated by the public--mainly because most folks can't see how much chaos there is in predicting weather! (Perhaps that's is a conversation for another thread though, lol)

Moved this here, hope that’s ok. But I think that is one of the reasons I love this hobby so much. It’s so, so intricate.

Electric just went out in Spotsy. I’m not expecting it back on any time soon. I’m sure it will get worse for the area as the night goes on. 

Down in Spotsy, there is so much snow still on all the trees, the added sleet freezing rain we are getting is adding to the tree stress. Luckily we have no wind. 

I was surprised this morning.  Some pictures of the same items from last night.  Pictures just will never do the view justice. 

Random pictures just taken.

Yellow showing up near mby and off to the west. Snow rate has definitely picked up....

Have about 2” in Spotsy. It’s beautiful out.  

This is the type of storm I love tracking. Yes, I’m disappointed I didn’t get dumped on...but man, it’s beautiful to watch develop. They are also so unpredictable keeps you guessing. 

More of this please. 

This is nappy time. Tomorrow night’s radar isn’t going to hallucinate itself. 

Am I the only one who appreciates the look of the hose on full blast out of the GOM?

Models are stressing me tf out.  Time to watch the radar and count down the minutes for white fluffies. 

Radar is blowing up in western areas of Virginia. Any obs from Staunton?  Snowing?

Ukie brings back better hope for us down here. 

Wow, I just woke up to a beautiful scene of fat flakes and the ground is getting white here in Spotsy. Yay!

Heavy sleet in Spotsy. 

I heard a very strange roll of thunder about 15 minutes ago, here in Spotsy. It was a longer roaring and building of sound but almost had an engine roaring that went with it. Craziest thunder I’ve ever heard

That right there is the SH!T.  Look at those pressures, it’s like black hole low, like a category 73 Hurricane, LOL....thought they adjusted for elevation, guess not....and I went to meteorology school in Greeley, CO, they must have covered that after I dropped out and went south.

I have been watching the coverage....so freaking jealous!

Got to be close to an inch on grassy surfaces

I’ve been tracking it, but still a nice little over performer for most. Flakes are getting very large and floating.

I assume that's the Master/Mistress of the house in that picture?

That would be the Mistress of the home indeed. 

Still coming down beautifully, whoever said “slow motion” is spot on. 

Just a beautiful snow today. Sitting on my couch, coffee in hand, watching out a large picture window while snow falls in the woods. My eutopia moment.  

Prettiest snow I’ve seen all winter.
