November obs and banter


Ian

Recommended Posts

Because I'm feeling a little nostailgic and Christmas spirit this morning, and 70 degree November days depress me, here are a couple of pics from Dec 6, 2009. By far, the greatest Christmas tree farm trip EVER.

Sure hope for a repeat this year.

Nice pics. For me, it can't snow soon enough. Last significant storm was the Oct. storm for me. For most of Maryland no one ever seen barely anything. Sickening.

And then there was my favorite snowstorm in my lifetime. Here are some pics I shot on Main St in Front Royal on Sat evening (~5:30) Dec 19, 2009, in 21 inches of fresh powder. Unbelievably, I didn't bring my camera that night and had to take these with my blackberry which just couldn't handle the lights. I'm still kicking myself. I know these don't belong in a Nov OBS thread, but I figure the weenies like myself would like them.

That's probably my favorite snow storm of my lifetime so far. I remember watching it from the Easternwx forums or whatever they were called and seeing all the snow weenies going crazy over each model run. It had the Christmas feel to that storm for sure. Any seen you can imagine from a Christmas song.

I feel ya. If it snowed year round, I'd still complain it didn't snow enough. It's been pure misery since Feb 2010.

january 2011 was fun, but still rained for half of the storm. i just want a few inches of snow without a changeover. just a standard, normal snowstorm. it's literally been over 2 and a half years since that, at least where i live just north of dc.

Anybody under this? What is it? Is it virga? I heard mention of possible thunder tonight on the radio, but its hard to tell what that is as thin as it is...

When you've got returns like that it's generally not virga. Pretty hefty (but quick) downpour here. Enough that I immediately got texts from a few friends asking what the hell it was lol.

Remember that thinness or thickness is not what matters in virga. A lot of times with virga you'll see a pretty spread out area of very light returns. Looks like even some 40dbz returns on that image.
