2011 Virginia chase season: DONE

And so I've declared it. After a few near misses during November's warmth I have declared this chase season to be over. It's time to tally up what I've seen this year and to possibly pen another book to cover the 2010 and 2011 seasons.

Here are two pictures that bookend this season:

28 February shelf cloud in eastern Culpeper county

13 October wall cloud in western Spotsylvania county

I'm now looking forward to some 2012 early spring chasing and possibly another expedition to Tornado Alley under the auspices of the Virginia Tech Stormchase team. I may post here occasionally before next spring but most of my weather posting until then will be over at Fredericksburg Weather. Stay tuned!!
