We could've had 2 - 3 inches today if it had been colder. 5 - 6 hours of moderate snow with absolutely nothing to show for it. This part of the storm was always what we were getting. Clear for a while that we were missing all of the coastal, and anyone thinking a Norlun was happening out here has never paid attention to weather out here.
The 10 year curse continues.
Well, this place is at 25% average. Or what was once the average. Based on the last 10 years the average here should be 10" and not 28".
I've had efuckinnough.
A slushy white coating at my house all morning, but rates have just waned so im sure it'll go soon. But just a couple miles away in south winchester there is nothing. One time im not the worst in the region.
Question: is the IVT tied to the position of the primary low? In that would a more east low place the IVT further east? Im struggling to understand just how a norlun forms and moves.
I did move to cross junction in 2020, which was good for snow - but no better for rain, but i moved back to stephens city in 2023. I'm so dumb, I moved here twice. Lol.
If you like hiking and the outdoors then you'll love this area. The mountains are great and it's fall beauty is top notch.
If you love interesting weather - besides wind - then you moved to the wrong place. You're in a little better spot than me; Winchester is usually the dividing line of total crap to it's south and getting better to it's north.
