GATECH

Legit snow globe now!

Legit snow now, all is not lost! Lots of yellows to the west!

If I stare really hard, I might see white rain...

Love being under yellows, and getting rained on! Home now, temp 38

Rain at DCA, temp 46

Some final pics from our abortive trip to Yosemite NP. Weather never cleared, would haven’t seen much even if we did make it to the actual park. Tried thanksgiving day, sun was out for about 15 minutes, but snow picked up shortly thereafter. Went about a mile towards the park and encountered several spun out cars which we couldn’t get past. Went back to our cabin to watch more snow. All told I estimate about 4 feet fell from Tuesday pm until when we left Friday AM. No wind, so no crazy drifts. Awesome time! Long way to go to chase snow, LOl.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Been under a winter storm warning since Tuesday. Have to have over 3+ feet, 3-6in tonight and 2-4in tomorrow. Crazy awesome!

Don’t hate 18in on the ground with another 18 to go today here in Fish Camp, CA.

Visiting Yosemite NP with the family for Thanksgiving week...check out the forecast! We are staying in a town called Fish Camp, CA. Going to be epic, can’t wait, 30-40 inches and possible Thunder snow! ....anyone have advice on tire chain types, and tips for installing?

New Method this year. "Alexa, give me a random number between 0 and 40..." BWI: 10.0 DCA: 22.0 IAD: 9.0 RIC: 19.0 The Breaker SBY: 33.0...congrats SBY! You can thank Amazon I guess it could happen, sharp cutoffs to the west and north = DCA, RIC AND SBY jackpotvilles!

Really? In a concentric circle like that? Interesting.

Did a meteor hit near Port Royal, Va? Strange Radar return. First radar was from about 643.

BWI 98 DCA 99 IAD 98 RIC 100 CHO 100

I think I just experienced every form of precipitation known to man in the span of 5 min, plus lightening and thunder. That was awesome!!!!!

Was enjoying the dry slot on the drive home, now getting pounded. Would have been happy to dry slot the rest of this storm.

I graded this winter a C, If this winter was a student, it started strong with an A + in November, turned in an F in December, January was a B, February a C-, March (so far a C-). Just didn’t live up to its perceived potential. Hit climo, 2 warning events. Guess it could have been worse, so a Solid C.

Their altitude makes them closer to the sun, makes snow hard to stick on blacktop...

That right there is the SH!T. Look at those pressures, it’s like black hole low, like a category 73 Hurricane, LOL....thought they adjusted for elevation, guess not....and I went to meteorology school in Greeley, CO, they must have covered that after I dropped out and went south.

Like Ralphie, I want an A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++....winter...like 2009-2010, but first we need a real - - - - - - - NAO. I did see a Christmas tree on the curb this last Monday a block down, the shame, and I felt bad taking mine down on Jan 4.

Winter is officially over, the last parking lot snow pile melted at work today, the neighbors finally took down their Christmas lights on Sunday, and the daffodils are in full bloom. Game, set, match. I give this winter a C.

They had a good one in 2003, was actually there the day after looking for wedding venues, most of it was melted, but still pretty cool. Winter of 2002-2003 will always have a place in my heart. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwi9lb__uOzgAhWvct8KHUrKBtgQzPwBegQIARAC&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wral.com%2Fnews%2Flocal%2Fstory%2F1089941%2F&psig=AOvVaw0cabhHwLuWP9-nJ5YmctEn&ust=1551924923420299

Pouring rain down here in the tropics, awaiting my Flash Flood Warning. System is juicy, good stuff headed your way, good luck to the northern folks!

I actually don’t care what the temp is, I am just sick of the rain. My house, fence, driveway, trees, sidewalk, roof whatever are covered in green gunk, moss, algae, mold whatever. I would be happy with a late cold spell that kills off the bugs just as they are coming out...then give me the southeast ridge centered over SC from April to May that shunts everything north as we bake and dries everything out.

Works for me, the last 3 years Spring has sucked.
