This storm is on the 26th

A tradition unlike any other!

12/5 - 3.1" 12/8 - 2.8" Total: 5.9" What a start to the season for the southern crew

Steady light snow again in Charlottesville the past ~45 mins, bordering on moderate now. Best looking flakes we've had all day imo. DP popped back up to 21 after bottoming out at 14 around 4:30. 25/21

Dry air is crushing us now in Albemarle. Pixie dust at this point. DP has dropped from 21 to 16 in the last 90 minutes. 3kNAM says we're about done. HRRR hints at another burst of precip in the next hour or so

Yeah I think that's exactly what's happening, also related to why this storm came further north than it was supposed to a few days ago. The HP seems to have been slower getting into place than originally modeled. You can see the dry air eating away the returns on the northern side as it's pushing South. The 3k NAM has precip eroding all the way back to 64 at one point this afternoon before the coastal takes over, but I'm choosing to ride the HRRR lol

12/5 - 3.1"

Close to 3" on the south side of Charlottesville. Light snow hanging on for a bit longer 27/24

a full cancel/grief/uncancel cycle before Thanksgiving. Yall have been practicing! This place is in late season form!

I'd imagine it's simply random chance of where the heaviest bands set up coming off the lakes. Some areas had much higher rates than others. @SnowenOutTherewas hiking some ridges in WV yesterday and reported he saw 1-2in in one spot and 3-4in 10 miles away at another

27/7 for the low at CHO

Great video from Phillip Prince on the destruction seen around where the eyewall came on shore. This focuses mostly on the geography/geology angle and how that affected things but I figured many in here would find it interesting.

Maybe you should read his posts a little closer before spitting out knee-jerk reactions? It's either that or you are really bad at geography. Calling WV a "western" state that has "nothing to do with the area" is a complete head-scratcher. Harper's Ferry is 40 miles from the DC line

The irony of a PA poster saying this in the MA forum lol.. come on

Still under 80 at CHO. The filtered sun is really holding temps down

Studying the paths of those two is pretty interesting. TC #11 formed directly in the wake of the other MH in that pair (#8) with only two days of separation. Worth mentioning that TC 9 and 12 also formed in the same general part of the Atlantic within that roughly 2 week period at the end of August. There must have been some seriously favorable conditions.

From yesterday. I know it's hr 384 but it got my brain going. Is there any historical precedent for what's shown, two sub 950mb canes approaching the SE simultaneously?

There's a reason farmers would get up at 5am to start their day. Working in the mid-day summer sun was avoided if possible southern europe has/had similar behaviors. Siestas/riposos were a midday break to shut down your business, go home, and/or rest. Typically in the early afternoon

this would get more traction in the Philly subforum. We cut off hard at the M-D line in here, only a handful of regular posters north of that

It's been impressively humid. I haven't seen the DP much below 70 for about two weeks now

Idk if all of that can be assumed from that data.. too far apart geographically for those temperature deltas to be attributable to ONLY the sensor accuracy and/or local environment effects. The weather in Baltimore (MD Science Center) and DC could be very different (or anywhere else for that matter). Especially in a month where backdoor fronts can easily cause a 30 degree temperature delta between NoVA and the M/D line. You need to be looking at other stations within like 5 miles of DCA to make that comparison mean much

brief echo tops around 55-60k ft on that cell West of Carlisle, PA

Interesting afternoon down this way. CHO was well on it's way to 100 it seemed but the storms that popped early over Madison and Orange counties sent a bunch of outflow and high level clouds out to the SW. We've been in the mid 80s since ~2:30 because of it despite zero precip

Downtown Charlottesville hit 100 right around 4:15, back to 99 now. (WVIR Earth Networks Station) Temps outside of town hovered around 95-96 most of the afternoon. CHO's garbage weather station hasn't reported since 2:05pm.... right in the middle of a significant weather event again. It's like they do it on purpose, it's honestly baffling how often that station goes offline.
