A little more snow fell on yesterday evening's coating...I just left that in place and measured what was there this morning, 0.5".

PrinceFrederickWx Posted Saturday at 03:42 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:42 PM Once again LWX overwrote my 1.5” (which matched everyone nearby on Cocorahs) and replaced it with the ridiculously overinflated 3.0” from State Highway behind my house. I think I’ll just submit on Cocorahs from now on and not bother sending them in. Edit: it looks like the 1.5" '5 ENE Benedict' obs from Cocorahs is mine on their map, right next to the 3.0" from State Highway LMAO 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowenOutThere Posted Saturday at 05:46 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 05:46 PM Final shots of the snow (heavily compressed if anyone knows how to seamlessly link to an actual image hosting site please let me know!) before I'm forced to lock myself in a windowless room for finals studying. I've loved getting to track this storm from the synoptic stuff down to radar nowcasting and then getting to enjoy it while it snowed.

I used a DJI Mavic 3 Classic. I agree that is probably the one that came out best. It is actually why I chose Farmville specifically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know Farmville had a bridge like that but its only an hour and a half from where I'm at currently so next event I might need to make the trek down there. Once again though those pictures are just amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowenOutThere Posted Saturday at 06:08 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 06:08 PM Reviewing my event snowfall forecast and I think I did pretty well. Only real miss was underestimating how far east the northern extent of the 2-4 would reach as it ended up getting close to Cville itself.

Thank you and it is on the High Bridge Trail which was an old rail line converted for walking/hiking etc. This bridge is over the Appomattox River a few miles outside the actual town. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait til you see what later Dec and Jan, Feb and Morch have in store snow wise! That western ridge will become semi permanent. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I’ve contacted LWX before they said it was a glitch in their system because we’re both in the same spot, but that my reports were still in their system. I think the bigger issue has been why they still keep accepting these questionable ‘Dept. of Highways’ reports to begin with. That started about two years ago and several people on here have been calling out reports from State Highway that looked incorrect. It sounds like much of this has been automated though.
