Euro strong storm Sunday just has to dig more Now too south Friday too north Sunday

Now that you put it this way, 2013-14 qualifies as a textbook wall-to-wall cold winter in the Eastern US. Pretty much 5 months straight of cold. Plus, it was a season that showed early cold, with a colder than average August and September.

Temps have fallen all the way back to 9ºF here so far tonight, with some more room to fall further with a 5ºF dewpoint. KBFD already has another below zero night (-4ºF) currently, which makes two of those within only the first 8 days of December there. Even being generally the coldest official station in PA that’s still pretty impressive.

Well, given our recent track record, betting against snow isn't the dumbest thing in the world, lol.

In the shorter term, the 0z GFS still likes the Saturday night chance for an Advisory type of event.

And Upton and Mt. Holly are dismissing the storm all together with Sunny Skies......as of this evenings updates - NY NJ PA Weather agrees with this snow map........Who is a Weenie to believe ?

0z Canadian shows a chance on the 18th.

AIFS has been fairly consistent on this threat. Sign me up. Note that there's a few to several inches of snow before this storm N of 84 on this map.

lol - helluva way to lose

I measures 2.7in on a table, though on grass I was getting 3.5-4in so I’ll average it out to somewhere around 3 inches of snow. Fridays storm technically had a bit higher total but this storms more compact flakes makes it feel more impressive.

Midnight, Birds just lost in OT on Hurts 4th int and it's 18F...

Varina,Va (5 miles SE of RIC) 2.1” 12/5 5.0” 12/8 7.1” Total

Id be willing to say Louisburg has at least an inch judging by my trail cams. Possibly more…

I dont ski anymore. After my ACL surgery- recovery was hard. I am a person with few friends and moved away from friends and family qhen I moved to Bretton Woods. I had very little support post surgery. It was hard to get around the first 8 weeks. I was always in pain. I declined the opioid prescription and relied on Advil. I live on a hill so I couldn't leave my house on crutches unless I had someone help me due to the uneven ground and also we still had snow and ice (surgery was beginning of March). Couldn't do stairs for 3 months so I had to sleep on my couch in the tv room. Leg was in a full length brace 24/7 and I had to sleep on my back with my leg propped up on an incline. I'm a stomach sleeper so between that and the pain, I slept 45mins at a time. I had to go back to work full time after a week- that was a big mistake. The stress of surgery and anesthesia caused my immune system to short circuit. I now have an auto immune disorder called Mast cell activation syndrome. My body is pretty much a permanent dumpster fire.

Thanks, Disc. That's a very complicated-looking equation!

Right on both counts. You can afford to miss the snow because the snow gods have the Mid Atlantic in their sights this winter and there is going to be so much snow that many snow enthusiasts are going to be so tired of snow they will be snoozing a lot this winter. Also, because they will be so exhausted from shoveling snow tallies approximately 400 percent above normal in many communities. Congrats! Enjoy the snow! There will be tremendous amounts of snow this entire low sun season! This is destined to be a Brobdingnagian snow winter in the entire Mid Atlantic!

If anything, it’s light and short. We’ll take it though. We don’t need much.

OK, I THINK it has finally stopped snowing (at least accumulating) so I'm gonna go see what is on the board to get a final number. It has snowed for a bit over 18 hours straight! Be right back... EDIT- so another 0.5" since 7 pm clearing, that makes the event total 5.6". Just a HAIR over 4.5" OTG.

As of this morning we’d picked up 6-7” of snow in the valley from our most recent Clipper, and Bolton Valley was reporting 10” of new snow in the last 48 hours. Based on my tour up at Bolton yesterday afternoon/evening, I knew that all the additional snow that fell overnight was going to create some excellent conditions. Temperatures were in the single digits F this morning, so I considered touring at Timberline with its lower elevations and typically warmer conditions, as long as the snowpack looked like it was ready. Indeed the base depths and powder seemed fine even down at 1,500’. In terms of powder depths, I was finding 8-12” around 1,500’ at the Timberline Base and roughly 12-16” up near 2,500’. The snow was quite dry (liquid analyses for the storm revealed an average of 4-5% H2O), and that was helpful, because it was deep enough that you needed to be on moderate to steep pitches for good speed. The cold temperatures made the snow even a bit slower, so low-angle areas weren’t enough if you were in untracked powder. With bright sun and no wind, the temperatures were actually quite comfortable for touring, and the feel was much different than what single digits F feel like with clouds, snowfall, and wind.

ashley simpson special
