December straddles two major family oriented holidays and also marks the beginning of winter. As such storm chasing is the furthest thing from most folks’ minds…kinda like this guy:lawnmower man

So to keep good chasing thoughts rolling I’m declaring December 1-16 as the “Sixteen Years of Virginia Storm Chasing” holiday interlude. Beginning on December 1st (coincidentally the first day of meteorological winter) I’ll post one chase writeup per day here. It’ll begin with an account from my first Virginia chase season in 2002 and will end with the 2017 season.

The tough part will be picking just one chase from each year as some seasons were very prolific. But even so I have to keep reminding all my non-chaser friends of this:storm chase meme 2

Stay tuned!!
