Or buckle down. Always work for us lol.

In order to model good pbp manners for all the new and infrequent posters

All banter shall cease for euro...eh?

Sausage fest so very realistic

Been wondering about this too, specifically whether models may have "misjudged" the snow/ice cover contribution (? I have no guess, question for mets)

Just gonna drop this here...and also ping @eyewall who's been posting some beauts. (glad you're safe!)

I had to explain the Georgetown joke to Nomz sorry for the banter but it's only going to keep bewildering the poor guy

One year we had a troll who reported rain in Georgetown during a snow event. It's now a running joke. (getting a wee bit tired imho but that's just me it gets the laughs.

Low of 14. Nearest mesonet station in Abingdon low of 12. Side note, it's wild how often I am pretty much exactly 2 degrees higher than that station. Have come to expect it.

Pleased to say I found it easily before reading these helpful posts but thanks!

A place to share photos of the late January snowpack, of hopefully more snows to come, and of our mid-Atlantic winter scenery in general! Photographers and non-photographers welcome. Beautiful art shots and sooty parking lot piles, it's all good. Here is a shot of the Bush River, covered in ice and snow.

I've never started one. Since 2009. Need to look at how it's done haha

We're going to have a snow pack for a while. Remember when we used to have winter photo threads? Maybe I dreamed it, too many lame winters. Where should we post pics of the Miracle Mirage aftermath, the normal obs thread? Can't be many from me, unless I clear some attachments eeesh. Would be nice to see more from around the sub tho...keep the snow cheer going.

Just finished driveway round two and done. Still using only a hammer and snow shovel lol. I was actually impressed at how handy the hammer was with busting up or slicing away/removing the ice crust. Lighter and easier for me than jabbing at it with a metal shovel. After my labors I tested out the snowpack. Broke through occasionally but was mostly able to walk on top! Instant being a kid again!! This is after a high of 26 and sun, it can only get better.

WE BROKE THE CURSE DUDE

Thanks, this is helpful! 10" seems more correct.

Re: our hood, I'm having FOMO about recording 9" lol. I think you are the 10.1" spotter, right? And the Abingdon spotter is now at 10.8". I only measured twice, did you measure more often? also my sleet measurement was for shit, it was a mess.

I waited till today to shovel and it's not unmanageable, just a bit slow. Just dug out the car and some of the driveway, which thankfully is flat and not super long. Going back out in a bit. Sun was a help with the car once the snow pack on it was loosened up. I've been going at it kind of primitively...cleaned around the car by stomping on the pack with a foot and either kicking the chunks away or lifting and tossing away by hand (thick waterproof gloves ftw). No shovel involved lol. When not stomping the glacier I'm using a hammer to break the crust. Once underneath it's soft and not difficult to shovel. Feels pretty good out there my god I love snow!!! Bring me more!

I measured 6.5" snow after the flip, around 10 am. Measured the sleet portion around 4 pm, inconsistent 2" - 2.5". Another ~quarter inch fell after that. I feel safe saying mby recd 9", it might be low. Nearest spotters so far are Abingdon (10") and T. August btw 9-10" I think.

Sweet

Welll I measured 6.5" like 30 minutes after the flip started this morning 10-ish. Not very confident about the measurement I just took of what fell after that on cleared area. It has to be at least 2-2.5" imo, but it's unruly stuff.

Just realized it's gonna be "giant sheets of ice and snow flying off car tops at speed" season. Been a while!

Don't miss hitting play on this y'all.

Thinking about baking some banana bread or muffins with dark chocolate chips. Real food is currently an unknown.
