Bob Chill Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I prefer the prospect of not getting snow from a non-storm over not getting snow from no storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravensrule Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Wow, three pages on this storm already? We can't get even a three pager for an entire severe weather set-up around here. The severe weather around here is about as exciting as our blizzards. Apparently there are a lot more snow weenies than severe weenies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 For the birders on the board.......According to the folks at Blackwater NWR in Cambridge, there are reports of unusually high numbers of snowy owls migrating south into the area due to a lack of food in the arctic. Sightings have already been recorded in DE, MD and VA. Kinda cool if you get a chance to see one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They brought in NWR I beleive and captured them all and took them far away from the airport locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Bird record keeping, there are only 4 recorded sighting in our county (2013, 1980, 1974). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 This morning Matt and Randy were having an epic texting match starting around 4. For some reason I ignored it until around 530 when my gf threatened to kick me out because my phone kept buzzing. I think I slept for. 2 hours last night. Becoming delirious. The things we do for less than 1" of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to figure out what sort of owl it was because I'd never seen one before and after seeing this post I looked them up and that's what I saw. It was indeed kinda cool. Amazing bird.

Ian Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I guess I gotta go into airplane mode when there is a storm around or something.

Bob Chill Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Wow. If I was getting texts at 3am my wife would be like who is that? And I'd be like "matt and randy and stuff". And she'd grab the phone and text "well hello matt and randy from amwx. what are you guys wearing?" And they would be like "nothing". And my wife would be like "pics?"

Jebman Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 State of the snowpack - December 11 2013 Its barely mid December and Woodbridge already has 2 inches of snow and sleet on grassy surfaces. The snowpack is composed of an inch of glaciated snow and sleet, with another inch of compacted, frozen snow on top. The ground is surface frozen which supports the snow/sleetpack. An anomalous frigid airmass over the eastern two thirds of the US will likely preserve this snow/sleetpack for at least part of the week. Plows have piled up piles of sleet and snow as much as three feet tall. Tonight these will freeze fairly hard as temps fall to near 20 degrees. If this anomalously cold pattern continues, we could hold on to snowpack into next week. This is early for northeastern Virginia and is not indicated by climatology. This weather pattern is much more representative of late January. By the end of Dec 11 the snowpack had been ravaged by highs near 44 degrees. The south facing lawns really took a beating. The snow north of any sunlight blocking objects, hills is in great shape. We lost about 30 percent of the snow cover today. From Dec 11 on, we had about 50 to 60 percent snow coverage with the typical south facing areas melting. By Dec 13 we had 50 percent areal coverage. Dec 11 was in the low 40s, then Dec 12 was 30 degrees for a high, then Dec 13 hit the low 40s again. -------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
