nj2va Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Moderate snow the past 10 or so minutes. Big flakes. Cannot believe its snowing here in October! What a way to kick off what hopefully will be a stellar winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 why be disappointed? we got a real life snowstorm in October in the mid-Atlantic. I'm thrilled with 4" in my yard. it has been awesome tracking it all week and then seeing it happen. we easily could have been fringed back here on I-81 but instead we got to enjoy a beautiful snowfall. I don't understand any complaining from anyone who saw snow today. true, however, i watched it snow fairly good for a couple of hours and watched the accumulation lessen. the disappointment comes from the temps here quickly jumping to 38. frankly, i'd been thrilled with 4 inches. 2 inches is better than no inches I suppose.

WxUSAF Posted October 29, 2011 Author Share Posted October 29, 2011 About 0.25" on cold surfaces (cars, deck, etc...), patchy snow on mulch and grass. Was snowing really hard about an hour ago and started accumulating and then switched back to rain/sleet. Now back to snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NattyBo Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Huge flakes seem to be slowing down in downtown Rockville. Grass and cars are white, but not as much in the grass. Streets and sidewalks just wet, not slushy. STill, it wa scool watching it snow for a while like that in October, hope it portends well for the rest of the snow season 31.9 degrees here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlizzardNole Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I am just in disbelief - we have about 2" just NE of Germantown and it stuck to streets and sidewalks. I took a rake out to free low tree branches and shrubs of a thick coating of slush remembering the lawn damage we got in that we Jan storm last year. I remember the 10/10/79 event, which was about 2" as well, but it was mostly a burst early in the morning and it was done. This has produced periods of snow most of the day and I can't believe it's October! I was thinking back, and as far as I remember, anytime we got an anomalous early accumulating snowfall (before mid-Dec), we generally had good winters that followed: Calvert County: Late Nov 1978 3 inch snow - monster winter in 79 Oct 79 freak event - good early snows in Dec/early Jan winter of '80 Nutty Veterans' Day storm '87 - good winter of 88 followed Germantown: Mid-Nov. 3" snow that stayed on ground for several days - followed by awesome winter of '96 Dec 5 snows that were followed by decent/good winters, lead by the superb 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand any complaining from anyone who saw snow today. Exactly!!! Everyone needs to keep in mind that this was an historic event - accumulating snow in late October is an incredible rarity. I enjoyed today, realizing that this is something that we may never see again (October snowstorm). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
