I don't know why the term "bomb cyclone" bothers me so much....but it just does.

Finished up the month at 29.7 average, crazy considering we had a fairly sizable mild period which feels like a distant memory now. 1/26 to present is averaging 16.3F with a max of 27! Low max was 1F from last night.

Models should not be free to 12 year olds

In my world, it seems that wherever I am, there too, shall the cold be. You want my to accompany you in Florida?

And many places all around Charlotte area recorded over a foot yesterday! All timer storm. Snowed champagne powder all day long, truly utah like snow just dumping for many hours.

lol what a crap system even for the cape and islands. Lucky if they even see 1-2 there. From a watch with 4-8 to 3-6 to 1-3 now advisories might be getting pulled, rough. Cant believe they still have the advisories up for 1-3 which is already below criteria and their zones only have chance pops.

-3 we take!

3 degrees here with a very gusty breeze. WC -7.

Gfs moved a bit north from it's far southern lean at 0z.

?

6z ICON says OTS

The tuesday/wednesday shortwave: Hmm.

Flurries 12⁰

Recorded two of my higher gusts ever overnight. 18.6 mph last night, and 19.1 mph so far this morning.

My Compact Total in PDII was 20”. 22” Total. Frustrating we didn’t hit 24. But the Piles were that of a Classic. And it a DC to Boston Bomb. NOT TO MENTION my Favorite Storm Ever, 2/7/03 of 14” was Mostly still there before the 22” of PDII came on top, AND all on Top of the 2” of concrete from the failed 12/25/02 storm that at least gave a historic base to a historically cold winter. 2002-2003 may have only had 84”, but it was a Great a winter as you could ever pray for. Better than the 120” 2004-2005 season that kept melting. My Compact Total in this was 13”. 18” Total. The photos I’m getting from Cumberland are Pretty good. But Certainly Not that Historic look of the Blizzard of 1996, AFD 1997, PDII, Blizzard of 2005, end of January 2011, Blizzard of 2013, or of Blizzard 2015. Sorry…. No Comparison.

12 degrees with flurries

On the way home earlier this evening the shield of snow finally relented around 7:30. Roads were with little exception entirely white but kept traversable. Fortunately though, I didn't witness any crashes or spinouts. When I got back and went to measure snow depth was very variable anywhere from 5-9" with a mean around 6.5". Later after 10 snow showers returned and added a bit more atop. For the sake of records I will mark it as 7" although this is one of the shakiest all snow measurements I've done. As far as my memory serves this felt like the most impressive winter storm I've seen since maybe 2015. 8F and completely calm. Flurries falling.

6z kind of nam’d us for Wednesday.

I hope the 6z Nam is right

Charlotte picked up 11.0” of snow yesterday. That tied December 29, 1880 for the fourth highest daily figure on record.

Welp, got a feeling that's gg for Richmond this winter. Another winter with no major snow. Oh well. Not one flake today in Chesterfield. Just cold and very windy

10.

Took this around 6 pm. Ended up with close to 11 inches here in Cornelius. She's a beaut, Clark!

I wish this thing would bomb out, NC stole my snow. Forecast was 5-8 inches and I have maybe an inch.

2-3 hours more snow in eastern NC as 500 mb low is still back around SC coast and slowly catching up to the surface storm out in the ocean. The precip will likely become much lighter once the 500 mb low has passed to the east of given locations, but it won't necessarily end entirely right away.
