Will not be surprised if there is zero accumulation of any snow that may fall here. I can only imagine precip rates will not overcome warmth and afternoon timing. This feels like one of those events where rural and elevated areas get accumulation and Stephens City gets some slush in the grass.

On top of the monument?

It has snow, but a fraction of what we were looking at even yesterday. For days straight we were looking at 1.5" precip area-wide.

Goodness, this thing has trended the wrong way. Has anyone ever seen a major storm consensus on all guidance at D5 degrade like this? I know they've busted at gametime, but to see this storm universally morph on guidance in the medium range like this?

Icon just did it.

Lol. Me too. It would've been Saturday until this potential showed up.

Feb 83 was the most intense storm in this area. Ever. Nothing comes close. 96 and 2016 (in the Northern part of the area) rival the total accumulations, but 83 did it in basically 14 hours. 32" measured in Warren County. In 14 hours! At the height, rates were 4 - 5 inches per hour with thundersnow. Nothing has come close to that intensity since.

Don't care if it's rain or snow. Just give me significant precip.

I'd sell the snow blower and buy the shed. Lol

I hate that Feb 11, 2010, storm with all my heart.

And when the GMI is negative.....

Migration patterns of Geese will never steer you wrong. There's even an index for it. GMI. Geese Migration Index. When that's positive, i.e. Geese flying south, it means winter weather is imminent.

I cried.

I can

What a nightmare. To think what that would be like today.

Man, that 1930

Thank God. The low 50s are going to feel so good.

On my way to the gym I saw 2 convertibles with the top down. Car thermo read 60F. Anytime the sun pops out here now the temp soars to 60F. It's disgusting.

Nothing but drizzle here. .21" since midnight. "Event" total of .63". Month-to-date 3.49". The continued precip discrepancy to the east is mind-boggling.

I would refuse.

Outdoor wedding in July? In VA? I hope you are at least not paying for that wedding. Lol.

We're backloading winters now to the following winter! Lol.

I don't think you can count on Deep Creek having snow either.

And that's the problem for the consumer. I don't want to start buying Christmas decor before Halloween; however, if you wait you may not get what you need. Case in point, last year I found a cool snowflake projector at Lowe's. So I bought one and took it home to set it up in the dark to see if I actually liked it. If I did, I was going to buy another for the other side of the house. Mind you, this was just before Thanksgiving. Turned out that I liked the projector, but it took me a couple days to get back to Lowe's since I lived 25 minutes away at the time. When I went back the day before Thanksgiving to get a second projector, they were sold out. Couldn't even get it online. The associate helped for 30 minutes trying to locate one. Ultimately, we found one at Woodstock, which was about 50 minutes drive from my house. I called and purchased immediately and drove there to pick it up. I don't think most consumers want to start purchasing holiday items 2 months, or more, in advance. However, we're being conditioned that we must quickly buy any items we want because it may very well not be there when you want it. Stores do not restock any items that sell out, I assume for fear of having to mark anything down post-holiday. I get it. But it's fucking frustrating and depressing going into stores in mid December to find empty shelves and BBQ grills and patio furniture taking over the Christmas section.
