The 18z NAM paints high elevation snows for western areas Friday night. With a wrapped up system this is likely.

Agreed 100%. I am over 2 inches low for the past month! Thankfully, I have received .66" in the past 6 hrs.

10 inches of snow on April 12 would be quite a seasonal wrap-up. The GFS screams nor-easter blast!!!!!! Reminiscent of 9 inches on 4-7 -71..........................

Wow!!!! Nice, but believe it when you see it in the gauge.
-
1.31" of rain the first 28 days of March. That's only 37% of normal.............................

You're dwelling too much on Richmond. In December of 2024, Richmond was in moderate drought. Rainfall deficits have been a problem in the MA for 5 years now. The same anomaly contributes to the snow drought.

32 degrees this morning. 18 at Spruce Knob. One half to one inch of snow 30 - 100 miles northwest above 3000 ft.

A southeast ridge with the proper strength can funnel Gulf moisture our way. We can only hope.

That's fine. I understand but I just everyone to understand that many portions of Virginia have suffered moderate to extreme drought. Hopefully, this coming next 6 - 12 months will be better.

Is this a joke??

The "is it ever going to rain again?" discussion.
stormy replied to JenkinsJinkies's topic in Mid Atlantic
Recurring drought conditions have been a problem in the Valley for the past 5 years. Last year ended 1.89" above normal because of a very wet August and September but this is deceiving because most of the year was very dry with moderate to severe drought conditions. The last really wet year was 2020. So far in 2025 the first 75 days finds me .19" below normal. Regarding rain for most of next week, the GFS/ECM predicts a weekly total of .86" for my location. The normal rainfall is .87". -
This backdoor maritime air is almost unbelievable. I observed a 25 degree differential in 5 miles from 78 to 54 this morning.

A wonderful reality after a harsh winter. 4 degrees cooler than normal qualified. After a harsh winter, spring usually co-operates. Great majority of the time.

55 here and 45 at D.C. is quite unusual for 2 pm.

Finally a morning above freezing at 35. Yesterday was 26.

There have been 7 analog Nina winters back to 1955. Augusta County average total snowfall for these winters has been 9.9 inches. The snowiest was 24.5 in 1964-65. 17.7 inches this winter was number 2 and gives it a B+ in total snowfall for a Nina. Temperature departure made it a cold winter. 45 year average annual is 24 inches. It gets a C- in this department.
