BlizzardNole Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 This is just sad - observation threads about flurries. This is what our mid-atlantic winter has come to. The most exciting event all winter was the 70 degree days and flooding rains last week. Shouldn't we put a fork in this thing? It's definitely frustrating, but we still have time -- remember how bad '09 looked until we finally pulled out a surprise on March 1 (except the areas further west). Also, most winters that have no 4" or better storms tend to be much warmer, like 0 days of 32 or below max. We are getting pretty good cold shots, so one of these times things will come together.

DCA has only had one winter with no highs below freezing and it was 33 so I doubt most places have had a winter without a subfreezing high.

Stormpc Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Back into the lgt/mod stuff, but no sticking anymore. In fact, a good portion of what fell between 8-9 am has melted so it looks like just mood snow on and off the remainder of the day. DC looks to get in on this latest batch. Enjoy a great winter Super Bowl day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WVclimo Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Today should be my 8th subfreezing high in the past 13 days, with 6 of those days having snow falling. Last year I had 5 below 32 maxes. 2010-11, I finished the season with 27 days. '09-'10 had 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Sun is now peaking through the clouds and melting has begun. Last batch of heavier snow took me to about 1-inch today. Nice surprise. A couple of attempts at flake photography. I think these are dendrites? Almost no pics turned out decent, but the flakes were pretty to look at.

Dr No Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Very nice band of moderate snow overhead now w/ visb around .75 to 1 mile. It's starting to cover up the concrete again that had melted a little earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy a great winter Super Bowl day!! Yes, "mood snow" is the perfect term -- family and I made the similar comments walking out of church. Can't remember ever living around here, with light, non-wind-driven snow falling for a couple hours but not really sticking. Pretty, but...inconsequential. I'll take what I can get at this point.

Ian Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 True, you should be alright. Coming down hard in that via friend. DC looks primed for this first batch.i'd probably rather be a bit south. the mid/back end is expanding north a bit but im not far from the northern tip of dc. i'll def see some flakeage. such a weird pattern. im almost forgetting winter sucks since i never knew it could snow here every day.
