  1. I think today was a great example of the margins we lose. I'm at around 2 inches of snow and waited till 2pm for snow to start mixing into the rain. We run that back 2-3 degrees colder and I'm below freezing a whole hour or two ahead of time which is probably around an inch extra of snow. Now, to truly get this storm further we would need 5+ degrees colder to get it all snow from morning onwards.
  2. One last picture from my two hour Jebwalk. Three second exposure by the creek bed.
  3. Yeah right now we both seem to be in a nice secondary band of snow. Doesn't seem like its really going anywhere from radar so maybe we'll be fine.
  4. Both our houses look to be right next to the western edge... either way has been a fun night.
  5. One of the best Jebwalks I've taken. Pictures are from around 5:30pm.
  6. Trying to work out what pictures I want to include for my post. Got some fantastic deer pictures.
  7. Still snowing nice under the bands out near the FFX Louden border. Must be closing in on two inches. Has been an amazing weather evening with windy blowing snow. Just wish someday to experience it for a whole night.
  8. Beautiful two hour jebwalk done and now heavy snow with winds blowing it. So worth driving up for this
  9. Just outside the heaviest reflectivity but regardless everything is caved and heavy dendrites. Got some awesome pictures I can’t wait to post. Anyone know if the IVt will shift east?
  10. Wow. I’m at 33.1 with heavy snow and nothing has really stuck yet. For the last 15 minutes I think I’ve still lived with just enough rain to stop accumulations. Now it’s all snow and slush is building up
  11. Thanks. Surprised I’m getting a switch to all snow and heavy snow at that without the norlun setup yet. Hopefully bodes well for the people outside of it later
  12. Seeing the reflectivity decrease across the ffx county/louden area probably means we’re going to get out of this rain snow mix soon into a more snow dominant ptype
  13. Got any tools I could use to see where it’s setting up? I’m right next to Dulles and am liking where the banding has been.
  14. Dropped into 33 degrees but still a rain snow mix.
  15. Big flakes mixing in with rain now. 50/50 mix I would say. Temps have plummeted from 36.7 to 34.5 in the past hour as winds continually shift more north.
  16. All rain where I am but the rain itself is probably an 80% liquid and 20% solid type concoction.
  17. In the past hour or so temps have dropped into the upper 35s and winds have shifted from due east to now solidly northeast. Solar radiation is also beginning to decrease. I expect areas near where I am to switch to snow within the hour or so.
  18. Assuming all the high reflectivity around the Dulles radar is snow melting then snow is in the air a mere 400 feet above me.
  19. We’re right next to the radar site so how far up is it seeing that snow melt? Would think it’s not even 2000+ ft up in the air
  20. H5 trough is going neg tilt with the surface low directly east of Virginia Beach. Not much to hate about the setup. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=regional-eastcoast-truecolor-96-0-100-1&checked=map-h5ana&colorbar=undefined
  21. Which website should I use to track where the low level winds converge as this evening gets going. Weenie in me wants to say where the current band is setting up on the radar (overtop you and next to me) is where the Norlun will appear but I don't know.
