View from Charlottesville about 500ft up looking Northwest on Monday afternoon. Love it when the Blue Ridge are frosty like this, almost looks like Denver if you squint hard enough.
If you take the 10:1 maps as gospel, sure it might've looked like that, but Richmond was never getting 8-12" on any model if you looked at the details. You were in the mix zone for hours. That all gets counted as snow.
Approaching an inch, although I missed the first 1/4" so we're probably there. Didn't get my snowboard and camera out until 5:30. I'm doing a time-lapse of the storm I'll post here later
Mostly the latter. Temperature differentials across latitudes is at the core of weather across the globe. With the warming not being uniform I think it's fair to expect the relationships to change from what they have been in the past. I'm not an expert on ENSO state or it's specific atmospheric effects though so how/what the downstream effects might be is beyond my knowledge
The high latitudes are warming much faster than the equator so I think it's more likely to disrupt what we know as the base state than to give us more regular Nino conditions.
Dude everyone wants it to snow in here. The difference is we all don't moan about it week in and week out when it doesn't. We get that you're invested and want to learn but the constant reiteration of the same statements over and over is exhausting. "It's a nina so it's pretty much a done deal this winter will suck".... you've said that like 20x over the past month. It adds NOTHING to the conversation. Like if you really believe that why are you here, go outside and enjoy the blowtorch
I don't want to mute you because you seem like a genuinely nice person... but I'm sure others already have.
Andrews is over 200ft above sea level and isn't surrounded (currently) by 47 degree water. It is also much less urban out there than what's surrounding DCA. Hard disagree.
This is exactly how I think these should go. Have a few people lined up from the forum with a topic or two to discuss and maybe we bring in some "guest" speakers from other sub-forums on occasion. Finish it off with a Q+A session, or people can post questions in chat that can then be answered as we go.
There's always two sides to a coin. Arctic sea ice is at it's highest extent since 2015 and is higher than 2007, 2011, and 2012 as well. Snowcover has proven itself about as useful as tarot card reading imo
