The Control has a region-wide Thanksgiving event. [emoji300]️

Right around 1” in CHO. Shoulda woulda coulda been a good one.

Where did you get the full run of Deep Thunder?

-SN starting in Charlottesville. Nice yellow/orange band showing up to the south, should be fun... Just kidding. Drizzle starting. Was hoping to randomly see a flake but not sure that will happen. 41.

I'm currently subscribed to both, which really annoys me. WxBell needs to get the UKIE back and 6z/18z EURO up and running.

6z and 18z EURO up on weathermodels.com now... what a world we live in.

That said, the number of interesting EPS members remains fairly constant if not slightly improved, so there is that. I’ll take e24 and call it a winter.

Thread = dead [emoji6]

12z OPS (CMC/EURO) and ens (EPS not out yet though) all took a step backwards. Low is weaker and temps are warmer. EURO went from a 993mb low off the Delmarva to a 998mb low. GFS moved in the right direction with a more consolidated & stronger low, but would need to be closer to the coast. Something I've noticed looking at better runs and ensemble members is that slower is better for this chance. GEFS still has some good members (for October 22nd) but has definitely backed off from where it was yesterday evening.

I'm tired of things being either put in the Digital Snow thread or the Obs/Disco thread so I think its time for this. I genuinely think Western areas have a shot at a storm this weekend and that others have a chance to see first flakes. The GEFS has looked better in earlier runs (18z yesterday, woof), but this isn't an awful look. Decent amount of members give something trackable. Looked best yesterday at 18z, so maybe a sign. Yet a couple of other things have hopped on. 0z CMC was probably the first legit OP run in short-range this year. Heckuva western burbs run. The EURO and the EPS were also fairly interesting as well. EURO showed an appreciable increase in the strength of the low and hence the cold of the system. 850s in the western burbs hung around 0-1C with temps around 35F. Wouldn't take much for a pasting out there, IMO. This is yesterdays (12z) EURO Control, which definitely suggested following along. Below is today's (0z) EURO Control, which still is very interesting. The EURO OP also got on board and is an appreciable step up from 0z. Welcome to winter.

0z EURO is so close to a western burbs storm. Keeps trending towards a stronger low and a colder region... Panasonic Control:

GEFS getting onboard... surprised less chatter, even though I realize odds are stacked.

Day 6/7 need to be watched for our first chance at a trackable storm for the Western burbs, and maybe a 'first-flakes' thing for others as well. There is a signal and EPS members jumped on board a little at 12z. Nothing to hype up but something I'll be watching carefully, especially given that I now live closer to the western burbs. EURO Control:

Heck, GFS has a Saturday coastal now, the two that are strongest and coastal to the coast get some snow in the area.

Yeah, I was jumping through the EPS and its decent for late October. Seen less active times in the midst of winter.

Might be flakes watch time come Sunday. Someone might get lucky enough to see something.

Don't want to dig anything back up but I just want to say that I'm really happy this subforum functions as it does. We've seen what happens in the tropical forums... good god. When I joined this place I was the ripe old age of 14 (13?) and really annoying. You guys bullied me (in a good way) into generally being a better poster. I still know nothing, but find ways to contribute and foster my growth for the love of the hobby. A tighter forum would've kicked me out and in a looser forum I wouldn't have learned my place. This being a place for enthusiasts who yell at clouds and professional meteorologists who also yell at clouds is what makes it such a great, entertaining, informative community.

Money shot. I'll take the under.

Yep, went up Humpback Mountain. Actually my first time on Skyline Drive, oddly enough. Need to make it up there again!

Windy and chilly outside Waynesboro, VA.

For those family, the Corner @ UVA is flooding. [/url] Approaching 3” of rain. Giving lots of credit to FV3.

Absolutely dumping rain in Cville. Flash Flood Warning just issued.

About to get pummeled with rain in Charlottesville. Oh, and 3k NAM shows the first mountain snows of the year. Let there be winter!

Thanks. Any chance you know if weathermodels has got an easy way to look at the snow output for the EPS/GEFS members yet? I switched to it halfway last year and that was the only feature I missed. The $10 a month savings that weathermodels brings might be worth it as a college student though. [emoji10]

Dang it, now I have to go renew my WxBell subscription. Or weathermodels. Haven’t checked what Maue has done to the site in a few months. Anyone have an opinion between the two?
