ennepe68 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 but it would be nice! Some people will definitely see thundersnow early Saturday, but probably not 6" per hour rates. 6-in rates would be extraordinary in DMV. Has it ever happened? Maybe locally, idk. But yes, I am looking forward to some thundersnow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HillsdaleMIWeather Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Friend in Virginia said this is the first time he's ever seen them have an EAS for a Blizzard Warning on TV, his city actually turned on their tornado sirens as they have a microphone on it to read of the NWS's Blizzard Warning.
