Canaan now at 80.8” on the season and 33.3” for the month. White grass reporting a 25” depth at 4300’.

[SnowtoRain]

Low of 25

[CAPE]

Low of 22 after a high of 31 yesterday

[katabatic]

Snowfall rates in the last 30 minutes have really increased. Received right at an inch overnight after 14.5" the previous 36 hours. Low was 12.2, currently 13.5. Looking for another 4-6" before this upslope event cuts off tomorrow afternoon. Best stretch of winter since I moved here in 2022. All of the area resorts are in excellent shape - if you were ever thinking of a weekend getaway to play in the snow to ski/tube, this weekend would be the perfect time to do it.

Low of 24

[stormy]

Low of 6 after a high of 29 yesterday.  Harrisonburg reported 4 this morning.  3 - 5 mph breeze hindered radiational cooling at my place.   18 at 10:45.

[jnis]

Some nice mood flakes falling

[WEATHER53]

Low of 22 and 6.75” on snowboard down from 8” 

[HighStakes]

Pretty good snow showers rolling through. Bit of a streamer look on radar.

[aldie 22]

32 degrees can only imagine what a February sun angle would do the snow based on how January 8th sun angle is chomping away

Gonna be tough to take deck pics around here soon

What a beautiful winter day here in the lowlands. I love a cold, cloudy, snowcover, deep winter day. The temp has been stuck at 30 since the clouds rolled in around 11. No melting today. The frozen South River near my house makes me feel like im in upstate NY. 

[pazzo83]

cold here - but DCA still without the subfreezing high.

[SomeguyfromTakomaPark]

Very little melting today with the cloud cover and the below freezing temperatures.  Rare days of below freezing high in MBY.  The state of the pack is strong!

Show off. Put that deck away. 

[katabatic]

Getting very close to SN+ here with ~1/4 mile visibility. @jonjon my deck isn't quite as impressive as yours, but that's my goal lol. 16 degrees after an afternoon high of 18. 

[stormy]

23 degrees at 4:30 with a very cold northerly breeze of 4 - 8 mph.

We were upgraded to a winter storm warning down here and I didn't even notice.  4-8" more.  I'm sure you'll get close to that as well, even though it looks like Garrett County is just under a WWA.

It's got to be close here (WSW criteria). The WWA says 6" for the 219 corridor and that would be me. I received 1.4" in about 35 minutes around 4:30 PM. I was on a work call, looked outside and told them I had to drop off. Threw on my boots and walked around the 'hood in the big, fluffy flakes. Snowing now, but not particularly hard. 13.5 degrees.

9pm

Temp falling fast tonight down to 24.5 and wind chill 12-15.  6.5 on snowboard and lowest yard measurement was 5” 

[aldie 22]

21.9 

 

[pazzo83]

seems like DCA should get into the teens tonight.

The drop rate in temps is impressive and I’m wondering how much that will continue or level off 

24.5 here and I didn’t know it was still so windy so got out to the shed no coat but getting back inside rough and had some bad shivering

if the wind levels off so too will DCA's temp drop.  But the winds are good for at least a decent low there.

[WEATHER53]

Everybody is pretty equal with snow cover and winds now so comparisons are solid,  Then later like you said calming down and radiating. Get both type of samplings as to winds with everyone snow covered.  Annapolis has big body of water .  Fun observation time.  My 24.3 at 9:30 is easily the coldest for time of the season 

[pazzo83]

Looks like KSHD (Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport / Staunton) got down to 0 early this morning.   Pretty good cold wave, but that happened a few times a winter when I was growing up.
