Nikon D850 with the 24-120 f/4 lens for all of the pictures I've posted. I'm lucky where my hobbies of meteorology and photography align quite nicely (though meteorology is SO much cheaper lmao). Besides, if you think that picture is nice that is the 50% quality 4 times downscaled pixel wise version that AMWX lets me upload.

I thought it was nice because of the lighting, rule of thirds, etc. basically it showed that it took some decent skill to take that photo. Is ur camera 12MP?

@SnowenOutThereafter those beautiful dendrite conglomerates earlier, getting some snow grains and needles now with these very light returns

Everything earlier today stayed south of here. First snow of the day now.  Decent shower with big flakes.  28°.

Very light freezing drizzle. I noticed some ice glaze on my trashcan lid. Be careful out there.

I chased to Farmville, VA and here are a few shots as I am starting to go to through them now. Total was somewhere around 3-4 inches.

Ended up with 1.1” in Londontowne. Most of it fell while I was asleep. Nice to wake up to. Feels good to be on the board!!

measured 5" in Clifton Forge, VA at 9am. 

I'm in-between Covington and Clifton Forge, had 5.3 at 11 am.

That was a nice workout, shoveled the driveway and sidewalks out. By driveway I mean a paved 10 foot by 1400 foot area, lol. Plus, the sidewalks and stairways. Hasn't crossed freezing all day, currently 30.8/28.3 with a drizzle/snizzle thing falling since the snow stopped around 11 am.

Light sleet has started. I don't want sleet.

You want anything frozen. Build up the igloo.

Hi 28 Lo 26 thru 5pm.

Light snow and snizzle currently. I was out taking pictures of the snowy Christmas decorations and noticed it was lightly snowing.

Beyond picturesque outside. Trees just caked in cement. Like a real life snow globe.

Two edged sword. It beats down what snow you have on the ground, BUT it has a lot of staying power and is there long after the snow is gone.

Yep. Been a while since we've had a snow fall and accumulate on everything and STAY. Usually we end up with 20-30 mph winds after and it all gets blown out/off.
