  1. Fair skies and 43/19 off a high of 46. SW winds at 9. Snow depth down to 3".
  2. And then the deep freeze and then another southern stream system with more snow per the OP GFS.
  3. 12Z GFS holding on to this idea for Wednesday evening through Thursday.
  4. That 06Z GFS run gives us 54 hours of frozen precip at the end of the week: 9” of snow, an inch of sleet, and a quarter-inch of freezing rain followed by 3 nights in a row below zero. USA! USA!
  5. 00Z Euro has Winchester at +31 at the same time 06Z GFS said -15.
  6. Frozen precip in my zone forecast 5 of the next 6 days.
  7. Snow to liquid ratio on the 12k NAM Kuchera is 8:1 even out here. 3k NAM is 10:1.
  8. Fri 2/5- 4.0” Hit a high of 50 today, but not much damage done to the snow pack. Finding measurements of 3”, 4” and 5” around the yard. 4” most common.
  9. AM radio station out of Winchester just said “a slight chance of snow on Sunday changing to rain.” This one is really sneaking up on people.
  10. Lol when have we seen this before ? 3-hr precip valid 10 a.m. Sunday
  11. 6:00 p.m. snow depth in my yard Sun 1/31- 5.0” Mon 2/1- 9.0” Tue 2/2- 9.0” Wed 2/3- 6.0” Thu 2/4- 5.0”
  12. You probably average a bit more than here with your better latitude and elevation, but 26" is seasonal climo for my area. That's a nice spot to be in with most of February and all of March still ahead of us.
  13. Its rare for my location to see more than double the snowfall that IAD receives. So I expect that difference to narrow as we go forward.
  14. Please also inform the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts.
  15. I actually did better on 2/3/2010 (3.9") than I did on 1/30/2010 (3.0") All part of 54" in 12 days, which I doubt I will ever see again here.
  16. Deepening low pressure on the OBX. Nice area-wide hit.
  17. I was in high school in Cumberland in '77 and it was the biggest waste of non-stop cold weather I've ever experienced. We had flurries for weeks and when we did get an inch or two of snow, it turned into a glacier in a day or so. If you like cold temps, that season was legend. But the snow wasn't the kind you shovel or sweep. A chisel would have been more appropriate.
  18. For this area, the record low temp on 1/20/1985 was just outside of the top ten coldest nights in the 100-year period of record, at 11th all-time. And the record low max of 1/21 was one of the coldest 7 days ever. But as @WEATHER53 can tell you, the winds with those temps made it even more extreme. An air mass deserving of a "brutally cold" forecast. As Ji said, the cold shot aligning with Reagan's second Inaguration made it more memorable also.
  19. Storm total of 11.9" on 1.22" of precip. First time in 15 years at this location that I have recorded measurable snow on four consecutive days.
  20. Picked up 0.3” of wind-blown snow overnight. More snow showers rolling through now. Lots of blowing snow also. Driveway that had been cleared now has some decent drifts across it. Up to 11.7” from this system.
