Wasn't that like #4 for you this year, blizzard wise? That's a pretty good stat if you ask me. We were blizzard happy this year. Add all four of this years blizzards together and I don't get close to 2005 in terms of accumulations. Cold + Wind = Blowing snow = lower vis = a couple of these blizzards.

True I just think it's going to cause a perception issue in the public if we keep having blizzard warnings for sub 6" events. Plow cleared this lot about 20-25 minutes ago....not even covered back over yet. Visibility is really low but mostly the snow has not been impressive on the mainland after early this morning. If you look closely you can see the plows tire tracks heading towards the ramp from 45 minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Here's another example Don. I know this area well, the truck has made the rounds about every 30 minutes. For the most part the snow hasn't been sufficient to hide his tracks even with the blowing the last 2 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 HYA gusting to 70mph is pretty impressive....mid Cape. Some of those exposed outer Cape spots must be over 80mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many even most probably associate a blizzard with large amounts of snow, in addition to the winds, even as snowfall amounts are not part of the technical definition.
