Just got in from a nice lengthy jebwalk. Gorgeous out there.

 

My neighborhood experienced some really impressive drifting. My street runs North-South, so the wind was just blasting right down the street all day. I'm guessing the design of the set of townhouses has something to do with it, but there are some legit 6 to 9 foot drifts in my neighbors driveways.

No cars under those piles, that's just all drifted snow... almost all the way to the top of the garage doors.

 

Even in other places in the neighborhood, I noticed a lot of 4-6 foot drifts. I'll throw some pictures into the photo thread a bit later.

 

What a storm...

Down to flurries, so I went out for an end of storm measurement at 11pm, and was pleasantly surprised to have gained a final inch over the last four hours. Winds had really died down so it was a much easier measurement, consistent across my snow board locations.

Final storm total, SSW Franconia/Kingstowne: 25.0 inches

Thanks, guys. Rereading my post I have to admit I got choked up a bit. We run through life trying to solve all these problems--problems at work, problems at home, problems we can't possibly solve, and we often forget about the amazing things that happen all around us. My dad's health has gotten a lot worse right at the time that I'm thinking about having a family, and you look at the world a different way I guess. Time is precious no matter how old you are. You have to enjoy it. I've enjoyed the pbp, predictable panic, radar watching, and sharing my love of weather with all of you. Hell, I even enjoy the people who annoy the heck out of some of us. To share this stuff with people who care as much as I do is special.

First order of business when I have kids is to get them on board with loving weather :lol:

I appreciate you! Thanks for sharing that.

I enjoyed all of the snow reports, radar analysis and now casts during this event. Thank you all so much. I know some may get annoyed with the details I share during analysis but I truly appreciate you all.

 

Thanks for all the great insights leading up to and during the storm. Really enjoy reading the details and trying to learn more about weather.
