Sparky Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I realize these look completely amateur compared to Weather Warrior's, but the lightning show was amazing. What a strange event. nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Agree with y'all. Last night's radar was strange and to be putting out all that lightning was quite odd. I never got much rain from it since it was mostly to my south the whole time but interesting occurrence. Maybe a good sign for the upcoming severe season. Ellinwood should be hopeful.

WinterWxLuvr Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Snowing in Elkins, dropping like a rock in Winchester, good deal of precip on radar, shaping up to be a pretty ugly day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonjon Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Yep, its snowing out here. Probably about an inch so far. Crazy few days as we got the 1-2 feet of snow on Friday-Saturday, then to warm on Sunday, to torch on Monday (mid 70s) to heavy thunderstorms and rain last night, back to snow this morning. Boooorrring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boooorrring. That's awesome. I really want to go to Canaan Valley one winter to do some backcountry skiing just to say I've done backcountry skiing in West Virginia. Unfortunately my friends are boarders and don't understand working for turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None -- there was around 6 to 8 inches left yesterday morning when I left for work -- but when I got home in the late afternoon it was all gone as it was sunny, windy and about 75 degrees.

Stormpc Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Was in and around Manchester, MD this morning till around 12:30pm. The last bit of precip there was a rain/snow mix. Was at about 850 feet above sea level. Car thermo read 39. 88 yesterday afternoon to 39... Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrederickWX Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Hate this effing weather pattern. It needs to get warm and stay warm, but it looks like there is zero chance of that happening. More clouds and dreariness. I would be OK with just normal temps, and more than a couple of hours of sunshine at a time. Yesterday was great, but back into this slop. Spring following a La Nina winter sucks. Bleh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
