    grading for blacksburg: D. I don’t think we got to half our mean snowfall this year. There were 2 huge ice storms that were just annoying. When it did snow, it impacted travel to AMS, so that was annoying. I might be able to allow a low C just for the cold, and the mood flakes from upslope.

    I had some cool pea sized hail today from an odd storm that had a really cool streaky look from the precip / hail.

    Does Pivotal Wx obnoxiously freeze for anyone else? It’s annoying having to change tabs to unfreeze it.

    I could not be graduating with a met degree at a worse time. I don’t know what my next steps will be. May is an eternity from now. I could go grad, but I worry about funding and research.

    Roads covered in Blacksburg, but I wouldn’t say it’s any significant amount yet, probably not a quarter inch yet. Walk to class will be enjoyable at least! But: I can see dryslot approaching?

    They may use fresh data from weather stations and planes, and perhaps any special balloon’s launched. The 18z GFS seems to do better than 12z from what I’ve seen playing in WxChallenge.

    11/21: 0.1” 11/22: T 1/3: Wasn’t Present to get Squall amounts 1/5: 1.1” 1/11: ~3” with upslope 1/19: T 2/11: ~3.5 ish Probaby missed a few half inch events and stuff like that.

    Well, I have what could be my last snow day before I’m officially a meteorologist… I’m scared.

    I think I still have the 14gb data file, but I might want to add this years data too and request new data.

    It’s kind of weird coming back to this after a bit more meteorology knowledge has been gained. The 13th looks like it has warmed where you would expect to see Cold Air Damming occur. Problem is it kinda extends too far west for me to think it is involved. Maybe it would be useful to investigate CAD setups in this time frame and see if any differences appear. See the ERA5 Reanalysis images from awhile back below:

    i’m not sure, but I’m sure it can be done with python and some form of either obs or reanalysis data. If you can’t find anything, reach out in a PM and maybe I can fetch that for you if I can figure that code out and assuming I have the time…

    What does 20-year M-Climate mean on WxBell?
  13. Rhino16
    It said 20 this morning I assume it’s broken. Virginia Tech’s weather stations are reporting -6 or less in the higher elevations. edit: +20, not negative. That would be nuts.

    1/11: ~3” with upslope 1/19: T

    It’s pretty cool to look at!

    Snow ended in Blacksburg. Eyeballing about 2”.

    Hope everyone in Richmond is doing alright! Back in Blacksburg, but I know how the water thing feels after Helene.

    The NAM is typically juiced both nowhere and everywhere at the same time.

    I’m still 0/0 for falls right now. I’m sure it won’t stay that way though. Ice falls always hurt for like a month and it sucks!
  20. Rhino16
    Hopefully some can come west to the mountains. I’m not sure how Blacksburg Averages 24.7” of snow, but I’ve only been here a year and a half. Interesting to see there were 71.9” in 1996…

    Really windy here with the trees coated still. Should probably start dinner before power goes if at all.

    11/21: 0.1” 11/22: T 1/3: Wasn’t Present to get Squall amounts 1/5: 1.1”
  23. Rhino16
    Measured about 3/8” of ice this morning.
  24. Rhino16
    NBM that far out I think…
  25. Rhino16
    Might be approaching 1/8th of an inch of ice here.
