I'm the wrong guy for this conversation actually haha - I just take the DC Bikeshare bikes! I have like a ~7minute bike commute so I haven't invested in any real gear minus a good helmet. Wouldn't recommend the non-electric D.C. bikes for anything other than super flat terrain. Super clunky bikes.

Even the sun makes the cold feel kinda warm at this point... still wouldn't mind biking to work without being bundled up!

12z GFS back at it again. Snowing in the teens at Day 10. I'll be out of town, so sure it'll work out

Tornadoes are a lot more interesting to report on, unfortunately. We can debate the merits of the 15% sig1 tor, but that usually is the tornado threat of the year, so don't blame local news for reporting that as such. That takes a lot of attention away from the winds, which were always forecast to roll through between 5-8pm. It distracted us all too and we should in theory know better. -
I know they just revamped to fix this - but I think most folks, if you asked them, would say yesterday's storms were maybe a 2/5 in severity on a five point scale. Maybe a 1.5/5. The problem(s) - of which there are many - is that a moderate risk is somewhat accurately described as a 4/5 risk. The kind of storms you only see every 3 years around here. Nobody felt yesterday's storms did that. So verification on percentages... good for SPC, I guess. Lot of room for messaging improvements.

WxBell doesn’t show nearly that much. Sorry. Funny though.

Well, in fairness, you want to let them out when it isn’t storming!

Wasn’t updated when I checked - need to just get my Twitter notifications on for their head. Think I need to go in anyway but sounds like I can maybe jet off at noon. Good deal as far as I’m concerned.

Where are you seeing that [emoji102]

The parameter space is obviously interesting. Just not seeing a lot of support for something really taking advantage of it. If a storm can get rooted, game on.

Probably gonna age badly but the prefrontal cells that are firing on the models verbatim don’t look that impressive. Sheared out and more like crapvection that minimizes the threat of the line later a bit. Quote me tomorrow though when the EF3 runs over my head.

I think you’ll get classes after 2pm canceled. Though UVA actually has designated storm shelters on-Grounds so maybe they’ll be a little more willing to give it a go. I recall a tornado threat day where I was in class watching the radar so they obviously didn’t cancel that day!
