That month of January 2016 was also the last time we went substantially into double digit snowfall for the month total at BWI. The only other month since then that reached double digits was last January when we nickled and dimed our way to about 14 inches for the month. I'm trying to think of what was our best single storm/event snow total has been since that January of 2016. Maybe like 4 to 5 inches a couple times? The itch is real for a big one.

That storm is still my benchmark for "large snowfall inside beltway" - I moved here right before commutaggedon in 2011. Was in south central PA for ultrawinter of 09-10. The 2016 storm was great while it was happening, very ominous leadup, quickly accumulating snow, cold when it was falling, power outages, actual heavy plowing of local streets. But the next couple days were very drippy and above freezing, which took away from the experience just a little bit. Overall, 10/10, would want that to happen again. It was also fantastic to track because models were dead locked on 120+ hours out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxWatcher007 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 2016 was one of just ten category four KU storms. A true all timer where the long lead lock in by guidance was almost as extraordinary as the event itself. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely true about the days following big storms and how they can either accentuate or blur the memories a bit. There's something truly special about big snows being followed by bitter cold for at least a few days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always debate whether 2016 or 1996 were the best storm of my lifetime. 2016 was just unrelenting solid snow for 2 plus days. And is the highest single storm total of my life. I never thought I would live to see 40 plus inches in a single storm here. But 1996 was an absolute whiteout blizzard. Honorable mention to 2003 (PD2). Which is an underrated storm because the temps were marginal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It outperforms any one model at shorter ranges. I have no idea what or how it calculates at that range. An average of wildly divergent solutions isn’t that useful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
