what's up with those radar echos along C LI sliding SE?

This winter was a memorable little devil lol. Lots of humbling experiences.

lol for what ?

Adding to the subjective grade for this season. We had 2 events (Jan 25 and today) that aren’t very notable in snow totals but are pretty crazy in a variety of other metrics. Jan 25 for extreme cold and bonkers sleet and major snowpack duration. Today for a 50F temp drop and snow occurring within 12 hours of severe thunderstorms.

That was it! It was a really loud boom of thunder. Then it rolled long enough for me to get my phone out and capture the tail end on video.

Tuesday will be a day where mountains in VT/NH somehow pull off 5-8" with upslope

Sorry, it was non-accumulating after that and we’ve already gone backwards. My CoCoRahs report will be 1.5”.

white rain for most of us-best stuff was in VA

Sitting at 20.6" here for the season, which is below my climo by about 5". I would give this winter a B for mby. The pouring sleet at 18 degrees, the resulting 3 week glacier, and then not going above freezing for a week and a half bumped it up to a B from a C in my opinion.

Bright and sunny in Germantown. Car tops are the last sign that any snow fell

Moderate snow here Temp down to 36

Saying I got not accumulation while people south of me did.. again.

Moderate snow here Temp down to 36

The totals being printed out of N WI and the UP/northern LP of MI from the 12z suite are just absurd.

So interesting fact, the high wind warning issued for tomorrow is only the 7th one on record for Columbia County according to IEM. 12/15/21, 2/24/19, 3/8/17, 3/16/16, 2/21/14, and 10/26-27/10 are the only other times that we have had one issued. I knew they were rare here, but I didn't realize that rare.

2” Powhatan 20.8” for the season

McLEAN WINTER 2025-26 SNOWFALL: 19.9" Average: 19.9" (100%) November: T 11/12: T | Stayed up late hoping for something more substantial, but there were still some light flurries. 11/30: T | Morning snow/sleet mix changed to rain. December: 3.7" 12/5-6: 2.2" | The return of the mythical December 5th snowstorm. It brought extreme cold for early December, with my high of 29. Included a nice little round two starting at 10 PM, not finishing until around 1 AM. R1: 1.9", R2: 0.3" 12/11: T | Scattered flurries in the morning. 12/14: 1.5" | A busted forecast (from 2-4"). 0.25" QPF fell as 1.5"—awful ratios. January: 9.2" 1/1: 0.1" | An early morning snow squall with strong winds. 1/17: 0.1" | A morning burst of snow accumulated to a dusting. 1/18: T | Three hours of afternoon flurries translated to a trace. The mulch was slightly whitened, though. 1/24-25: 9.0" | EDIT (2/22/26): revised from 10.2" down to 9". Reanalysis showed 0.6" QPF falling as snow and 1.8" QPF falling as sleet. This equates to 5.4" of snow at 9:1 ratios and 3.6" of sleet at 2:1 ratios, for a total of 9.0". February: 4.9" 2/6: 0.1" | A few hours of moderate snow gave a nice wintry scene for the area. It was a nice refresher for the snowpack. 2/12: T | Some morning flurries. 2/22-23: 4.8" | Rain to potent snowstorm. Warm temperatures at onset lead to a decrease in accumulations. March: 2.1" 3/2: 0.6" | It was a nice and beautiful March snow. I didn't bother to measure, so I'm splitting the difference between DCA and IAD. 3/12: 1.5" | Some surprise anafrontal snow brought a heavy coating. Credit to @MN Transplant for the measurement. (SUBJECT TO CHANGE - waiting for final measurement from @MN Transplant.)

Taking @MN Transplant's latest measurement of 1.5", I am officially right at climo with 19.9". No more, no less. Now if he records 1.6" or more...

High wind warning followed by a winter storm watch here.

Had some heavy spurts of snow after picking up my son from school. Everyone just freaks out and starts hitting their brakes when it started.

Nobody did and anybody who was dumb enough to, was warned a million times to only look at the positive snow depth maps.

Ditto

lol at anyone believing the snow maps would be even close in this situation.

Looks to be a windy day tomorrow. Lots of wind warnings out there with gusts to 60MPH. There are going to be lots of power outages if that happens.

It’s not all about you.
