Kevin Druff Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Was 00 in Staunton the Superbowl storm?? I know you didn't get the Jan 25 storm as a foot there? I think so. Maybe it was 12/99. I don't remember exactly. Was supposed to stop snowing early evening but didn't. Woke up to a surprise foot on the ground. 1/25/00 was the day I had 6" at my house in Fishersville but 1 mile to my west on the other side of the ridge only measured .75".

That was a very similar storm to 12/5/09 for the DC area in terms of temps, daytime timing of the heaviest burst on Sunday, and accumulation gradient from DCA out through the suburbs. The backside for us was a 1-3" burst Monday that caused last-minute school closings in the morning, even though the snow had already melted from roads in the eastern suburbs when the decisions were made.

gymengineer Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 I took "locally" in the title to mean only the mid-atlantic, but far be it from me to post more snowfall stats 10+" from my locations in MN/ND 1986-2004 (lived in CA for a while prior - no snow there, don't remember anything from pre-82 or so, so I don't count it) Jan 20-21, 1988 - 13.0" Mar 3-4, 1989 - 10.5" Oct 31-Nov 1, 1991 - 20.9" - my other 20" storm Mar 9-10, 1992 - 10.2" Nov 18-19, 1998 - 12.9" Mar 8-9, 1999 - 13.0" Oct 24-25, 2001 - 10.9" What were the winds like in the Halloween blizzard?
