Post your February Obs here. We easily picked up an additional 8 inches after midnight. That gave us a storm total of 18". That is the most for this area since 1980. High is our current temp of 31. Low was 17.

I am a fan of it but I will be happy when my furnace finally stops running 24/7. Been a while since we used this much heating oil in a few weeks.

32.7 here right now, but the sun is doing its work. I did get the driveway blown off. Loved using the leaf blower!

Looks like Heisy's concern yesterday about the ridge bridge have merit looking at the Eps and Geps post day 10. Gefs are better if that's any consolation.

19.7° here…chilly but a beautiful sunny day. It’ll be interesting to see who hits or goes above 32° mid week to break the streaks. Those who avoid it will have a pretty long subfreezing streak.

I measured 0.75” on a table last night after it stopped, and it was similar for the average on leaves and grass. This was just enough to make it look like a beautiful white carpet on the grassy areas. The last burst (during 10-11PM) was a real nice icing on the cake as before it was ~0.5” on that same table as of 8PM. I feel fortunate to have gotten this much as just a few miles south it accumulated much less. So, this makes it official that SAV got measurable snow in 2 consecutive calendar years for the first time since way back in 1917-8 (0.1” on 12/30/1917 and 0.5” on 1/2/1918…so those were only 3 days apart). Interestingly though, since then SAV has had 2 measurable snows in the same winter twice (1976-7 and 1985-6) and also has had measurable in consecutive winters one time (both in 1989). @donsutherland1

So nice to be in the bullseye for a change.

Just got some exploring in (Watershed) and a couple walks around a local lake. Observations…wind was generally light and the sunshine felt amazing (wish it was a more regular occurrence)…the snow (aka sleet/ice) looks cool, but is not ideal to hike in (I didn’t even bother, just stayed on pavement)…ponds and lakes are mostly frozen over, but I wouldn’t skate on any of them except the smaller ponds as the ice is not uniform. Lastly, some of the mounds are gonna be sticking around for a while…mid-March, maybe?

February sun angle is working on my snow. Melting commenced. .

Wild bc the 3 highest locations are on completely opposite sides of the state- not sure i have ever seen that

Times are bleak when the MA forums opens a thread for 1-3in of snow

Hi all, First post on here. Lets reel this in!

We got the 12z f84 NAM. We all we got, we all we need.

I think today’s nine or 10 in a row of not hitting 20 here . Something like that

From the National Wildlife refuge at Tinicum ceremony today groundhog Tinicum Tim prognosticated six more weeks of winter It's on facebook lol

SSWE would affect us in the first half of March if it ends up being an impactful event. The vortex split is ongoing but the max warming actually occurs closer to mid-February. Usually a mid-Feb SSWE is felt by us in 2-3 weeks so that would place us in very early March. That’s actually what happened in the 2018 Niña. Occurred during mid February and really was felt in March. It also happened in the 2001 Niña. Both produced extreme blocking patterns that really enhanced storm potential those months. Both of those years also had relaxations in second half of February. 2018 had a full torch with temps near 70F.

I think that is more a personal feeling for you. But whatever. Sucks we missed this one now, but I’m cool with what the set up overall seems to be going forward. These individual runs will be all over the place…not putting stock in any look long term Op runs. Let’s see what Friday brings.

Keep an eye on the milk and bread lines.

I wish this was true

Hi in the mid teens. Beautiful scene today at Swallow Falls (Garrett County MD)

I don't know about other counties, but Fairfax is still a mess from the "snowcrete". We have one lane roads in neighborhoods everywhere, and may of the buses are still sitting in snowy parking lots. I honestly can't imagine how schools will go back tomorrow. Another 1-2" on freezing roads will close us on Wednesday. What are other counties like?

Holy smokes, you’re not far behind TBlizz and Scott. Where did you hear that? I don’t think we know since it hasn’t happened yet lol.

Setting the DCA line at 0.1", I'm hammering the over
