  1. Just got into the best storm I have witnessed in several years. Barely clipped by that discrete cell east of the main line south of Virginia Beach in North East North Carolina. Winds were easily 50 to 60 miles per hour with pea sized hail and cloud-to-ground lightning. Lasted about 90 seconds.
  2. Final daily total .46. I'm not mad, but not a gust of wind, rumble of thunder or lightning. If you told me beforehand this was going to be a normal day with some showers preceding a weak cold front I would have not known the difference. On to the next one.
  3. A Big Nothing here west of Woodbridge. Like really nothing. Radar looks MUCH worse than ground truth. At least from what I have experienced all day. Under 1/2 inch of rain as well.
  4. It's actually the brightest it has been all day here in Woodbridge with the rain coming to an end. I can already see breaks in the clouds to the Southwest.
  5. That's like saying you are somewhere between Washington DC and New York City. I'm embarrassed for you.
  6. Something interesting just west of Farmville Va. A little rotation.
  7. Frequent CG lightning. I suspect the gusts were around 40-ish at its height. Good start to spring
  8. Its humid as hell. Over here in Currituck. At least those frozen wins off the sound we've had the past several days are gone. 83 degrees. Haven't turned on the AC yet but it's starting to get warm in the house.
  9. A few hours of rain/sleet light mix, otherwise under .10 of rain so far.
  10. One or more of the meso's are gonna paint 4 to 5 inches over our area in the next 10 hour cycle. Just hug them until it starts raining, then give up. That's what I do.
  11. A crappy, stale airmass isn't helping any of us. Need rates at the expense of over amped is not what we (PWC) do well. Either way, its something to track on an otherwise boring weekend.
  12. 3.2 in of snow. I cleared the board. Round 2 so far .5 snow/sleet. May end up around 4in.
  13. Snow missiles now. Total bombs coming down at like 60mph. It's great. Cool storm.
  14. Snow trying to beat the sleet back here west of Woodbridge. Trying. First flakes I've seen in 90 minutes.
  15. Then you must be young or new to the area. We got 4 inches of sleet on top of 13 inches of snow during PD II. Woodbridge does sleet very well.
  16. I've compacted down to 2.6 with the sleet and frz rain the past hour. So you are really not far off. Compaction has begun. Heavier returns to our West may be interesting. Hopefully it cools the column.
  17. All sleet and freezing rain here and thru Warrenton to Front Royal
  18. Warmth above is almost coming in as quickly from the west as it is from the south. Interesting. Awesome actually.
  19. 9:25 am. 3.1 in Indy Hill PWC VA. Showery snow is indeed mixed with sleet. Very light. Very little return overhead. As expected. Need healthier returns. Edit: However, my temp is down to a low of 29.1 and my dp is 27 and falling. Predominant wind from ENE.
  20. 9am 2.9 in Independent Hill PWC. Tapered down significantly. South of Rt 66 and 50 needs that next pulse before the uppers warm by 11-1pm. Nice event.
  21. My 2nd best event of the season. 2.7 Indy Hill PWC. Another 2 inches and I'm at avg climo for the past 25 years. Not a horrible year at all. Nice event folks!
