  1. What do you think the best place is for upslope hiking wise? I’ve been at spruce knob before but I don’t know if I’d want to try that road when it’s snowing.
  2. Wonder if the mountains could get their first accumulations out of that? Would love to go on a 3 hour jaunt if it meant seeing October snow.
  3. Went hiking from bottom of Ceder run to Hawksbill peak in Shenandoah (around 3000ft elevation gain) and got to walk through all the different levels of fall colors. Best leaves are from 2200-2700 ft on the mountain.
  4. I don’t know about you but all of this should be solely based on hour 84 NAM extrapolations. From what I’m seeing expect a big snow January 18th
  5. Gotta get mod permission for our idea first
  6. On a side note I do think it would be hilarious to start a thread for some random day in the winter and hype it up the whole fall
  7. Maybe we should start the thread preemptively. Have we ever tried that?
  8. I'm okay having to snow chase to avoid mixing if its early November. Mid January is a different story...
  9. If only you waited to start the thread by a day you could've had this one
  10. Meh, doesn’t drop south enough I’m sure we can do better for our required .1 inches of October snow (as the average always occurs)
  11. Of course, those aren't the only pictures I took
  12. All the leaves were pretty much dead. Seemed like it was either summer leaf color or winter bareness. Still was very pretty. Here is are two only lightly edited pictures (first faces east, second faces west)
  13. I saw an all black one that was run over by a bike… which I think sums up a lot of our winters
  14. I’m planning to go leaf chasing/hiking to spruce knob wv tomorrow, anyone know how the colors are out there?
  15. Finally saw my breath this morning while walking to my 8am classes in Charlottesville!
  16. The timing of that meant I relied on it so much for it to cancel at least one day of school and the weekend/week aftereffects where it fell apart was probably my worst week of high school. God, the fact that it just went the wrong way for 8 runs in a row when I just needed 2 inches was devastating.
  17. Have my first atmosphere and weather test today! Got to do some studying beforehand this morning, which might bring back some memories for meteorologists here.
  18. It was November 22nd and a more typical storm. Snow mixed in around nova for an hour or two before rain, I think the only places with real accumulations was Mount PSU (4in I think) and the catoctins (where I went ~6in).
  19. Found this research study (The Elevation-Dependence of Snowfall in the Appalachian Ridge and Valley Region of Northeastern Pennsylvania) examining the impacts on elevation dependence snowfall and the types of conditions that influence events to either be low in snowfall range with elevation or high. Definitely found it to be an interesting read and I'm sure the mets (and @psuhoffman) would enjoy it too. Here is the link (http://nwafiles.nwas.org/jom/articles/2017/2017-JOM8/2017-JOM8.pdf), also if any met would like to chime in I remember a particularly elevation dependent snowfall in late November last year and wonder how those conditions line up with the studies findings.
  20. What’s up with all the radar returns going on right now? I know birds and other animals can cause reflections but I’ve never seen widespread yellow reflections from that.
  21. Seems reasonable enough
  22. Nice pfp change to welcome the season!
