    It's only December 9.

    If I were in that position, then I would just hop in the car and go as far south as I can. Real life can wait till later.

    It sucks for sure, especially when it goes against the natural order of things. But sooner or later, the law of averages will catch up to them. I mean, they’re literally getting more than their entire average annual snowfall from one storm.

    My bad. I just realized I clicked on the wrong WFO and looked at the data for Greenville, SC instead. So, dumb mistake from me. EDIT: Looks like they had a 7" storm last January and 8" storm the year before. And now this one. Damn.
  5. Fozz
    That's an amazing shot. Looks like at least 3"/hr rates.

    That's actually not true. The last time GSP received double digit snowfall in a season was 1992-93. So this storm really is historic for them. EDIT: I checked the wrong town.

    If these shifts had been happening yesterday then I'd probably still have hope.

    With that look, you'd think the storm would at least reach Philly.

    I've gotta say, this is really thrilling to watch, even though it probably won't go all January 2010 on us. If anything, it shows that good north trends can happen, even if it isn't north enough for most of us this time. Hope it buries Richmond and Fredericksburg.

    Exactly 5 years ago to the day, if it's the event I think you're referring to. What a fun storm. IIRC we were forecast 1-2" then zr, but a death band hit and many of us north of the cities ended up with 4-8". We had HECS-level snowfall rates for a little while.

    I hope Richmond gets raked with 12"+. Not that it matters to me, but they've been a notorious snowhole for years, so if it's not going to come up here then why not?

    I'm starting to wonder whether this March will end up colder than not only February, but also January and December. Some of the guidance is predicting some scary cold for the next few weeks, and since the actual met winter months have been so mild, I think we have a shot at March being colder than any of them, not just relative to normal but also in an absolute sense. I wonder how many times that has happened. Probably in 1960, but that sure isn't easy to achieve.

    I think we just need to remind ourselves (even though most of us already know it) that winters that are this bad, aren't the norm at all. Winters where the Carolinas to SE VA, as well as the cities north of 40N get big storms, while we get almost nothing, are NOT NORMAL. Otherwise, the whole "DC sucks" narrative gets out of control like it just before the last 3 good winters.

    From what I remember, the blizzard didn't really get going until mid-late morning, and I remember waking up surprised to see blizzard warnings in the area. From late-morning through until sundown, it was just an amazing day for those who were in the favored spots.

    My personal ranking: Feb 10, 2010 January 2016 PDII December 2009 Feb 6, 2010 I was too young in 1996, otherwise it would've certainly been up there. I still consider Feb 10 my favorite because the winds were incredible... much more impressive compared to the storm on Saturday, though the totals were slightly lower. I think most people from Baltimore north are going to rank that one very high. January 2016 is a close second.

    Thank you all for putting all those loops together, it's really awesome watching the storm come together on the models, the radar, and multiple satellite loops. I don't think it's a stretch to say that we just experienced a repeat of the Blizzard of 96, 20 years later, and this storm will forever change our perception of super Ninos. Probably my all time favorite storm, or a close 2nd.
  19. Fozz
    Definitely yesterday's storm over Snowmageddon. I'd say it was even better than the Blizzard of 96, at least in the metro areas, but it may not get as high of a NESIS rating since it missed much SNE.

    oops

    I was just going to suggest a thread like this. Let's keep all the amazing images and memories of this storm in here so we can easily come back to it.

    That one was one of the more memorable ice storms I've experienced. I was terrified of losing power, but luckily escaped... I felt that I dodged a bullet because many others in the area including some of my professors weren't as lucky. The best part besides the picturesque scenes was that it solidified the snowpack and practically turned it into a glacier.
  23. Fozz
    I like ice storms but only if it's a moderate amount (no more than 0.3") and it falls on top of snow. If I'm going to lose power, then no thanks. Feb 2014 at Millersville was just about perfect.
  24. Fozz
    4 months?
  25. Fozz
    Ouch. Well, one interesting thing I'll remember about the second storm is that when it was being forecast, some mets were talking about 8" of snow like they were shrugging it off, basically saying it won't really be a big deal. That alone is incredible considering where we live.
