HighStakes Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 The winter of Thanksgiving to Christmas 1989 was awesome. Clipper after clipper with constant snow cover and cold. We were skating on Rocky Gorge in mid December. Too bad January and February 1990 sucked. Every January and February from 1989-1992 was horrendous. One of the worst 4 year periods you could have. Things didn't improve until the second half of Feb. 1993. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things didn't improve until the second half of Feb. 1993. I moved into my current house in 89' and figured I'd do better than my old location 10 miles to the southeast ....well, that was some sloppy thinking as those following winters were real cr@py as you mentioned I have some old footage of the winter of 90/91 when it snowed steadily all day into the evening one Sunday and we ended up with a measly 2" those years were as bad as 72/73-75/76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dailylurker Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Thanksgiving 1989 was an interesting storm in that the entire state of MD had accum snow, and it was an all snow event, even on the beaches. The heaviest amounts were I-95 east to the coast. I actually drove from the eastern shore to Carroll county the following morning, and there was 6-7 inches at home and half that at my sister's house in Westminster. That was a good storm. We went to my grandparents house in OC that year for thanksgiving. That was the first time I ever saw snow on the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 This was night before Thanksgiving in 2005...I got 0.25" 11232005.jpg That strong arctic front gave me a squall that put down 1". I made snowballs and put them in the freezer for the kids on Thanksgiving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeleConnectSnow Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 If your a winter/snow lover, don't look at the EURO seasonal. POSITIVE AO, and its warm for a while with no cold to stay in place. JB is showing concern all of a sudden. just great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast NPZ Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I don't know what happened to the east, but we had a significant snow event out here pre-Thanksgiving 1995. Don't remember the exact date, but I remember taking that opportunity to run to the mall for some early, crowd-free Christmas shopping. Ended up with about 6 inches. Hard to believe that no one else is recalling this event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highstakes already posted about it earlier in this thread. It was on 11/11/95-- severe weather along the strong cold front knocked out power across parts of the DC metro area, followed by a rapid switch to snow covering every surface. More than 2" fell across most of the NW suburbs, but it all started to melt overnight as temps rose slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, curiosity got the better of me, went and looked through my records, I have a 11-14-95 snow of 4.7 inches here? Maybe that is the one he is thinking of? Funny thing is exactly one year later (11-14-96) had a 1.0 inch snow too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisy Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 GFS still hanging on to some sort of storm that gives us snow, but GFS2 and ECMWF are no go. The day 8-10 wave just has no 50/50 or confluence to lock the cold in. GFS does offer some hope for some light snow for the Friday system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 The most November snow I have ever recorded since living here is 12 inches in 1995. It came in 3 separate events 11/11 - 4 inches, afternoon high of 61, strong cold front moved through, then heavy snow, gusty winds, lightning and thunder for 4 hours in the evening. 11/14-15 - 4 inches overnight, temp high on 14th just 34F 11/29 - 4 inches in the wee hours of the morning.

Heisy Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I see a split flow developing on the LR EURO & Par GFS....If it verifies we could see a better chance for snow towards the 11/20-26 period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two snows in Nov is amazing. 95-96 was certainly a special winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the 6" pretty well, but I did seem to think it was before T-day. I certainly don't remember 3 storms that Nov, however. I should've kept a log.

I think we only had 1 or 2 inches in Reisterstown so you definitely did much better in Westminster. The 11/14-15 event is the one that has me perplexed. I have absolutely no recollection of this event and they are not many that I don't remember. I'm thinking the rain/snow line must have set up just to my northwest and I must have gotten very little accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I remember it well. Left MoCo at 8am Thanksgiving morning with 1/2" snow on the ground and arrived in Raleigh 6 hours later and it was 75F. I remember it well, too. Wife (then girlfriend) and I were living in Fairlington at the time, and she went down to her parents' house in Hilton Head for the holiday. I remember calling her and telling her about the snow, and she told me about how nice it was down there. I'm heading down there for 10 days starting the end of next week. Hoping for some 70-ish weather while we're there to make for good fishing and other outdoor activities. All the better if it's on Thanksgiving itself!
