IMBY i'd need measurable snow to beat Sunday lmfao

Jan + 1-2" of sleet on top of 10-12" snowpack + arctic temps afterwards = glacier. This storm was late Feb with snow only and temps 29-31F and now 30s and 40s for highs. The only time I can recall a snow pack holding strong like a glacier in late winter was 2015.

There's still piles from December 14 under the piles from December 27 under the piles from ... etc

Am I sitting here waiting for the 18z GFS for next week? You bet your ass I am

Still 2-3” in full shade, full sun bare to 0 5”, partial sun 1-1.5”

Sarcasm…but the point was, they are the pros, but so are you. So they’re seeing something.

No winter will ever top 09-10 for me but I’m biased haha

They’ll make every effort to get us in tomorrow…due to having two days off already this week.

Unlike a certain musician who whines and moans about getting 20” instead of 30”? Thanks for keeping it real and in perspective

Oh, ok, well that’s news to me. So that wasn’t a SWFE after all?

I think we thought there would a band to the NW. I did. But I think that night I saw the 3K Nam show the western CT stuff and then that firehose into SE MA and RI. That had tremendous front despite lacking big convergence. You also rode the dryslot which steepens lapse rates and aids in that too. I felt pretty good about that area. Actually was hoping it would be more north but it was modeled well.

it's amazing we close schools here for an inch of snow....

metfan patrols the area and arrests those who dont measure immediately after it stops snowing

SW of Leesburg VA we got right at 5", so it appears more than most in the area. Was a really sticky and beautiful snow Sunday night. (we got a bit more after the pic was taken)

I’m very confused by this suggestion.

Does someone actually hang around CPK all day to measure?

That's the speculation, when they measured again at 7PM there was no measurable. But they did get additional snowfall from say 1-3PM or so and it melted. If they measured after it stopped snowing they could have reported it and should be above 20". Kind of important to do that since its a top 7 storm of all time. They can add an estimated additional amount in like they did in 2016 when the amount changed from 26.8 to 27.5 nearly 2-3 months later.

It stayed cold today, looks like 44.9 gonna be our high. Last winter like day for a while

Yeah I ignored the bad data.

Wont be as fun this time but man would it be nice to wrap up with a doozy.

black ice alert tonight after the melt!

One of these years there are going to be quite a few MLB games postponed in March because of cold and frozen precip - Mets open at home March 26 ??? Ridiculous IMO..

If they cleared for the 18z ob (idk what they do there but I assume there’s a contract observer) they may have lost any additional due to melting/melting on contact by the time they measured again. I think the temp climbed from 31-33 in that period and eventually to 34 by 00z.

How is it possible that you don't know the answer?
