BuildingScienceWx Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Congrats all on the storm! It's been fun to live vicariously through your posts today. Beautiful photos. Some of you now have 5 times the amount of snow I've received in CT so far this winter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vastateofmind Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Wow, what an event -- final snow total here was just over 10". And I think that's a tad-higher bust than what the WSW called for. After the last several years, I'll gratefully take that and shut my mouth for the rest of this winter. This was one of the most gorgeous snows we've had in these parts in many years, however, a lot of flowering trees in the neighborhood (and not just a few utility wires) took a HELL of a beating due to weight of snow. A lot of neighbors gonna have to do some "creative" pruning come springtime...but in the near term, Verizon has already agreed to visit tomorrow to re-string a number of FiOS cables, so there's that. Here's a link to a photo album of the day's snow progress. And if nothing else, remember this -- always try to have at least as much fun as a dog manages to have in the snow. https://photos.app.goo.gl/E8yWNXJkFu5NTwqAA 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 This has been a fun thread to follow. Congrats all. We don’t typically get rates like that in the upper Midwest. Sucks snow doesn’t have much staying power down there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holllllllld up!!! Say WHAT?? That's when you know it was a brutal cut-off--BWI is my closest airport and I measure about 1.5-2 inches. Yes there they measured 6.8! Lolol That is hilarious! FRUSTRATING...but hilarious. I don't think that has ever happened where my own measurement and BWI where miles apart, lol Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazzo83 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 1 hour ago, Fozz said: Fun little nerd fact: Exactly 20 years ago there was another southern slider that brought heavy snow to VA and southern MD, but fringed the northern areas. The difference was, that one didn’t even make it to DC. Atlanta and Raleigh ended up with more snow than DC and Baltimore for the whole winter because of that storm. Late January of 2002 featured an absolutely INSANE heat wave. It hit 81F in Staunton (https://www.wunderground.com/history/monthly/us/va/weyers-cave/KSHD/date/2002-1) and DCA hit 77F. I remember going to school in shorts that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean everything was just pasted white. And then yeah, you had that contrast with the clearing - very very nice! The NY'ers might not agree, but I think DC might be the best looking US city in the snow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that southern storm, there was one small event in the middle of the month, and then after that winter was over. Even in Baltimore it got into the mid to upper 70s in late January.
