John1122 Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 I am sure areas to the East will do much better but it's hard to beat getting to see these huge flakes falling while red birds fill the apple tree by my feeder in the daylight. Daylight snow is just rare here any more. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnEastTN Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Looking at current radar the western edge seems further west than had been modeled by most models to my untrained eye. I was worried I would miss the synoptic snow all together but it's just pouring snow here.Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 I'm about to officially reach white Christmas status. Closing in on an inch already. Currently visibility is approximately 700 feet. I think I may bust high on the MRX call map if I can maintain this for even another hour. Not counting and potential banding or anything like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icy Hot Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Temp went up 2 more degrees in Colonial Heights. Now 52. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovepipe Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 I'm impressed by how quickly it's sticking. I figured we'd waste quite a bit with it being above freezing. Currently 33 degrees and the yard is getting white. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnEastTN Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Sticking nicely here looking up the ridge behind my house. I'm noticing there are heavier bands that really pick up rates that seem to move through every 15 minutes or so like pulses. Occasionally get a good wind gust and it looks like a northern snowstorm with wind blown snow. Now down to 30.

John1122 Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 Flake size has dropped with crashing temps in the upper levels but visibility is still around 1/4th mile or less. That initial sleet and then huge flakes helped the laying process greatly. Plus the very low late December sun angle and decently cold temps and even the rain cooling the ground. That's why I questioned JKL saying it would take a while to start laying a few days ago. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
