Looking out the window it looks like spitting small snowflakes. Doesn’t look or sound like pingers (yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevWarReenactor Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 A dusting. Snow is coming down though. I guess it's our turn up here, but the mixing line is moving north fast. I don't think we will get the totals that areas like DC got before the changeover. You guys should be happy with 2-3 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is whether the heavies coming out of WVA beat back the mixing like some models showed yesterday or usher it in. I think and hope it beats it back and then once it passes we flip.

I ordered linguine with marinara sauce and I got egg noodles and ketchup. I’ll still eat it! snow to mix/rain is never ideal, but it's easy to forget it's feb 20. this winter flew by, partly because it hasn't been a strong winter overall. got a couple good storms out of it, though. not bad considering we never really got into a prolonged deep freeze. maybe we can weasel our way into another event in a week or two.

I will be one or two inches short of climo after this storm. This certainly was not a bad winter. 14 days with snow falling is a decent winter in my book. And we are not done yet I dont think.

So you are really not far off. Compaction has begun. Heavier returns to our West may be interesting. Hopefully it cools the column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I have 5" right now in Germantown. For whatever reason I seem to have a microclimate that is always about 1" above yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
