snowdude Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 Yeah, what an incredible winter, but it seemed to end so quickly even though we had so much snow. I was stranded in Pennsylvania taking a damn final exam and I drove home the next day and saw car after car in the ditches on the side of I-95. Crazy scenes, but this is what I saw at my house in Dale City. I believe we saw a little over 20 inches. In Pennsylvania we had 16 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2010 extreme Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 It was at this time mid night sunday morning walking north on my street in nearly knee deep snow I could see clear sky to my west and and a definitave back edge of the clouds looking east as the last flurries were flying. It was a spectacular end to the storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoda Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I remember being at work and getting absolutely nothing done... staff members were coming up to me and asking me about the weather all day... I was supposed to help write up a lesson plan for the next week (right before Christmas break) but I never did it cause I knew that we weren't going to be in school. Remembering how the NAM was giving the LWX region 2.5" liquid and we all thought that was outrageously high... I'll think of more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gymengineer Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 the cwg snow map posted wasnt the final, trollios Capital Weather Gang's final snowfall call for Snowpocalypse. Not that it matters, since the other map was just fine for an initial accumulation forecast, but this map wasn't posted until after the snow had already started. I mean, at that point, it's kind of an update rather than a forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalfy Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I remember going outside the garage, and the snow being up to my thighs.. when the garage door opened the snow blew into the house, and I had to clean that up, then I took a picture of my dad's car which was burried totally in the snow. It was quite the sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 probably my favorite storm of all time why is that? it was just about perfect minus maybe a few tenths liquid. i think i actually liked the feb 5-6 event better tho i'm not really sure why, maybe just because i went down to the mall.

usedtobe Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 seems like a split flow happens in almost every big storm.... Pretty much for us, I think new england can get a big one without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eskimo Joe Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I was in Lancaster at the time, and just completed my last undergraduate finals. Graduation was the next day, but when I saw the north trend the night before, I packed up early on the 18th and drove back to Philadelphia while the roads were still good. I was quite happy to have gotten out of there and back to Philly because my neighborhood consists of tiny streets that never get plowed in a 6" snowstorm, let alone an 18" event.
