So sad that the kids headed down from up north for college down there now think it doesn't snow in the "South." Feb 03 Towson MD, 30 + on the month solid snow cover well into March. Man I miss those snowy Southern times... (just missing the good ole days with you guys)  And to think I missed 10!

Richmond over Philly.  Ouch.

Richmond over Philly.  Ouch.

 

I'd like to see a seasonal snow map of the Delaware Valley.  I think there's a pretty big snow hole in the immediate Phily area.  South Jersey (especially farther south and maybe east) did OK, all things considered, and central PA did well.

[Avdave]

Still hard to fathom we just missed 20" here for the season. Almost to the seasonal average of 24"

19.4", quite a few nickel and dime events but they do add up.

Still missed the one big one of 6" or more this season but this is way better than last years miserable 5.1" for the season

there were a lot of gradient events this winter....snow maps are going to be humorous/sad

[nw baltimore wx]

Assuming that's it for the year, my 14.25" finished at about 65% of "normal."  Without yesterday, it would have been about 40%.

[Huffwx]

FWIW, the LYH isn't the airport. WSET- ABC affiliate measures at the station. They were low on the Jan 17th event compared to most of LYH as a horrible snow hole was there from the mega band forming 20 miles south of anticipated. North half of town 1-2 inches-- south 3-5. (LYH is a smaller City)
