All Activity

Low across the south and off the SE coast would be what we want , but the way storms are playing out this winter , anything is possible. Probably really won't have any handle on a real track till about Wednesday... At the earliest IMO

Looks like decent banding now over higher terrain of Windham County

Not doing much here. About a half inch maybe a bit more. The euro nailed this screw some in between the two good bands

Event blows so far outside of srn RI/Ginxy and Essex county. Was hoping for 3-6. Hopefully 3”.

North east of the RI band here in PVD. Snowing steadily and perhaps a couple inches. Flakes not terribly efficient. Looks like going 95 to 495 will be the smart choice for the trek to Mattapoisett. Looks like here to there will be a bit of a meh event. Congrats to those scoring big.

Interesting, yet MDT didn’t get it right.

That tiny skinny band over SWCT is giving me a pretty good burst.

About 1.5” here

Congrats to her

Chilly is an understatement brother!! -2 wind chill here!!

No precip here in Sparrows point MD but my anemometer recorded a 41 mph wind gust!!!! And I'm at 19.5 F !! Wind chills here -2!!

Down to +9.7 for current and low temp for today (so far). Had 0.4" of snow yesterday which melted down to 0.02".

Woke up at 4am and didn’t notice anything, so went back to bed lol. Wind has marched in, though, and it is chilly out.

Had some light snow for a couple of hours last evening in the hours before mid-night. Woke up at 4:00 this morning to near blizzard conditions in a heavy snow squall as the Arctic front was moving through. Temperature was 21 degrees. Not sure exactly how long that squall lasted. Woke up again at 7:00 and winds were howling and the temperature had fallen to 7 degrees. Currently 5 degrees. Melted total in the the cylinder was .03", that was the easy part of the observation. Snowfall was very difficult to measure with the howling winds and the light fluffy snow. New snow was blown clear in some spots. Found a more sheltered location on the south side of the house and .70" was best measurement. Snow still blowing off rooftops and it looks and feels like the Arctic tundra out there. Fitting way to bring this prolonged bitter cold period to an end. Moderation is coming for next week....still cold though, no torch.

Danvers up to 9” wow

arctic front interacting with the IVT now .. radar starting to look a lot more impressive

Montauk Circle traffic cam looking sweet right now. Following is the link with a blank before the "//" so that big image doesn't clutter the feed, also since it's been shared before: https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL6HrtRsR3o

Just looking at the radar over the past several hours I would think someone in New Jersey hit 2” inches….

All waterways in the Mid-Atlantic area including the Potomac River and most of the Chesapeake Bay. The cold weather set in during December of 1779 and area rivers were frozen by Christmas. The cold weather continued through the month of January and lasted until the first week in February. To the south Norfolk, Hampton, Newport News and Portsmouth were connected by thick ice that supported foot traffic between the ports. The James River could be crossed on ice near Williamsburg. Even further south, the Albemarle Sound was frozen thick enough to allow American soldiers to cross on foot. Thomas Jefferson noted that never before had the Tidewater frozen to such a large extent. On the beaches of the Delmarva, ice mounds piled up to a height of 20 feet as a result of breaking waves and frozen spray freezing on the beach. The ice mounds did not melt until spring. (p.30 Washington Weather Book 2002 by Ambrose, Henry, Weiss) 1835: On this date through the morning of the 10th, the earliest well-documented severe freeze occurred across northern Florida. Tallahassee dropped to 4° and Jacksonville & Pensacola fell to 8°. The edges of the St. Johns River froze and ice was reported in Pensacola Bay. The temperature was below freezing for over two days at St. Augustine. All citrus was killed. (Ref. Wilson Wx.

Vertical weather accompanied the storm as temperatures fell to 16 degrees Fahrenheit during the height of the snowfall. Only 3 to 6 inches of snow fell in far northern and western suburbs. Norfolk recorded 9 inches of snow, the city's heavy snowfall in the last 40 years. (p. 60 Washington Weather Book 2002 by Ambrose, Henry, Weiss) Over 14 inches of snow fell in the Northern Virginia with greater amounts in the Skyline Drive area.

Agree. Fact is, potential is there not just for next weekend but some period beyond that as well. It doesn't appear to be wall to wall shit the blinds. (Oh no, I posted medium range discussion in the Banter thread rather than banter in the Medium Range thread!!! LOL!! )

It’s crazy how DC will have an above freezing high temp for today

Ongoing ground blizzard with the wind, 13F.
