TSG Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 29/29 with ZR/IP+. This is turning into a significant ice storm here in Charlottesville. Sidewalks are an ice rink and side streets are close to the same. Trees and bushes are looking frosty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My visibility is about 150 yards right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87storms Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Roads are a mess in cabin John area and one of my bball courts is now snow covered so I’ll be entering retirement for a few days. Still coming down here and don’t hear any sleet yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decibel relative to Z values - not necessarily directly correlated to actual precip type with regards to radar returns. If you also take into account how far you are located away from KLWX, I'm not surprised to see some variance or inaccuracies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 8 minutes ago, osfan24 said: Interesting to see the low so far east on the latest HRRR. It takes it almost ENE off Virginia Beach. Surprised we would still turn to mix/rain in that scenario. It does jump it back west toward Bethany, which I'm guessing is just a feedback issue. The zig zag northwest was a wierd forecast depiction. Snow direction is varying from east to northwest so cold air is not retreating and low is not inland nor will it be up the bay. If baro keeps dropping at 0,04-0.05ph the critical time for immediate n and w suburbs looks to be 2-3pm. Nowcasting at its finest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing better than a roaring fire, beer in hand, and rippin fatties outside in full blown mountain scenery. PS-we need a “cheers” emoji in here. It’s a Cisco Brewers pale ale...we went there in the summer while we spent a week in Nantucket so some family brought a case during Thanksgiving. Working through them now Ob...SN, 20 degrees, and there’s something magical about watching a fluffy dendrite float down from the sky and land in the snow.

Keeps adjusting the warm layer and dry slot north faster the last 2 runs. Ji likely won't care and is already looking for the next one to track.

I think we can really pile it up the next 5-6 hours and I’m willing to bet our column holds. There’s going to be 1-2” an hour rates with some places even besting that through 6PM.

I should also note winds still out of the NNE/NE at the moment. You can even tell with the slightest bit of subsidence as the good returns move over us with them taking their time.
