  1. You are correct. Rt 301 might have been a better choice. Been gone from that area too long. Need these
  2. We came close after the storm on 1/12/2019 which began a 12-day stretch. Before that, you'd have to go back to Jan 2016 after the Big Dog. I held on to that pack, with some refreshers, for 27 days. Helps to have 36" to start with. Last time it happened in February was 2014.
  3. Two weeks now with snow cover here. 5.5" still otg.
  4. I thought GFS didn’t model CAD well ? If so, we may be in business. 12Z GFS says the temperature at Winchester at 7:00 a.m. Thursday is 23. At 10:00 a.m., 24. Still 24 at 1:00 p.m. Only 25 at 4:00 p.m., 26 at 7:00 p.m.
  5. At a farm market in Nollville, WV west of Martinsburg and a rogue heavy sleet shower just dumped a quick glaze that covered roads.
  6. Freezing rain with the occasional IP has made it here where it’s 27 degrees. On the way to the modeled 0.03” of precip today.
  7. Checked the thread this morning and see TSTMs being discussed. Then looked at 00Z Euro and see a half-inch of FZRA here on Tuesday and a 6” snowfall on Thursday.
  8. 25/15 with a light northerly breeze. Not expecting much out this way. Hopefully at least a little bit of glazing on the 6” deep, two-week old snowpack.
  9. The past two years, leaving aside the 70-degree days in January and February, 70's started showing up at DCA between March 7 and 14. So 3-4 weeks from now. In 2017, DC hit 80 on March 1. The year before upper 70's by March 8. Won't be long.
  10. There's a chart with descriptions here: https://www.dtn.com/the-power-of-weather-symbols/ #18 means a squall within sight in the last hour, lol. Looks like we may being seeing a lot of #67 being reported area-wide this coming week.
  11. I'd like to see us get back to maps with these symbols
  12. Surface temperatures fall during the event with the low going south of us.
  13. There are some excellent resources here: https://www.meted.ucar.edu/index.php
  14. DEC - 8.7" JAN - 8.0" FEB - 9.9" (so far) TOT- 26.6" (Long-term seasonal average : 26.5")
  15. Light snow still going and getting breezy now. 3.7" so far. 26.4" for the season, which is our average snowfall for a whole winter here.
  16. Best rates of the evening here now. Half-mile visibility. Band looks to continue for a while. 3/4" in the past hour. 2.8" total. Snow depth back to 6". Down to 28.5 degrees.
  17. Came across this quote in a Baltimore Sun article about the ‘94 ice storms: Feb. 10-11, an extraordinary 4 inches of sleet fell at BWI. On the 11th, the precipitation type changed 10 times. Can you imagine the reaction of this board if we had a repeat of that ? Lol.
  18. Safely in the snow here. 1.8" so far and coming down nicely. MRB is 31/30 with light snow and 1.0 mile vis. OKV is 32/32 with light rain.
  19. 0.50” of sleety snow accumulation after 3 hours of precip. Now finally seeing all dendrites as rates increase. 29 degrees.
  20. 33/20. Overcast with light and variable winds. Baro 30.31"
  21. Friend reports decent snow falling now in Moorefield. Shouldn't be too long for you to start seeing it.
  22. That's the second time this winter that my county has been included in the same advisory as DC metro. I guess its just a broad brush early call to be fine-tuned as we close in on the storm? Don't remember it happening in past years.
