  1. Liberty will do better than here… as will many spots. Definitely gonna chase this year if it’s looking grim, or if there is a storm that just looks too good to skip. Lots of PTO banked and may need some good vibe distractions. Snow ain’t that reliable for that!
  2. Probably is. What a miss by the models - so small they just can’t see it well?
  3. Good news sickos. In one month: EURO OP is going to 360 hours. Off hour runs are going all the way to 144.
  4. First flakes in WV mountains next Tuesday? GFS says maybe.
  5. I think it’s more the cameras that have improved rather than the satellites. Everyone now carries a $1000 camera with them at all times. We’ve realized we don’t need G5s or K9 or whatevers to see Aurora in the mid-Atlantic.
  6. My theory is social media vastly has increased awareness… plus phone camera exposure and night mode being so readily acceptable. Think Aurora is probably visible from Shenandoah a dozen+ times a year during the years of solar maximum. Wouldn’t have known that in the past because no one tried… or if they did it wasn’t shared out.
  7. Get out right now. Visible in Arlington proper.
  8. Rumor is as soon as darkness. I’m hoping it holds until 10-midnight. Want a solid dinner before staying up all night lol.
  9. Going out tonight. Least into Arlington from DC. Maybe to the mountains.
  10. Another shot tonight. Northern Marylanders should stick their heads out right now… looks promising.
  11. Missed it by a day. Folks should go out and try tonight if they have the ability!
  12. My night is being spent at the Young (last year being “young”) Alumni Reunion for UVA… so I’m gonna make a call of whether I can *really* get out to the mountains after the party. Otherwise, gonna drive towards localized darkness and see if I can get a photo. Light pollution gets a lot better even down to Covesville. Just need to find a north view!
  13. Read something about the first CME tonight maybe “destabilizing” (probably the wrong term) the skies (definitely the wrong term… ionosphere? Idk) and it could make the 2nd night more interesting. Sounded interesting to me.
  14. Anyone Aurora tracking? Going to be down in Charlottesville this weekend - thinking of giving it a go tomorrow night, assuming the CME timing pans out. Still looks cloudy today.
  15. Pass. Have a Potomac River booze cruise tonight. I’m okay with drizzle… not so much the wrath of Helene
  16. Two TWs down in south-central VA. Totally missed the fact that storms were around the area (well, broadly) today.
  17. We love to be a serious weather forum people rely on for tropical news but also spend 10 posts (I guess this one included) each time the 3k NAM, which we all know has zero tropical value, spits out a nuke…
  18. Insane shelf in Staunton. Pics from the car doing a bad job.
  19. Too bad there are all these clouds - would’ve been a good night to head west to see the aurora. Hoping for another good shot the next 1-2 years of solar maximum!
  20. Ah... September. Often our first shot of digital snow. #getHYPED
  21. Just peeked. RadarScope showing oodles of T&L over ya. Must be fun. Don’t feel like I’ve had a good light show yet this year.
