Presidents' Day Storm of 1979 -- Most Memorable Snowstorm Ever
Fozz replied to RodneyS's topic in Mid Atlantic
Years ago I remember speaking to @usedtobe about PDI... he has all kinds of memories of it, and if I'm remembering correctly it was some of the heaviest snowfall rates he's ever seen in his life. -
If we can get 70 degree weather in January (incl 80 in DC) then I’m not going to shed a tear if people get mad about spring snow. Yeah, I know I’m being spiteful. But unseasonable weather can go both ways
-
March 2014 was much bigger south of us, but March 2018 was a big one here.. 8.5” and it was after the equinox
-
Even the closer N/W suburbs (think IAD, MoCo/HoCo, etc) can still score in mid-March. Sometimes even late March but that’s pushing it. I’m not giving up. In 2018 the greatest moment came right after the solstice and I’m still yet to see a storm that big ever since IMBY.

What Went Wrong in Winter 23-24/Base State/Will It Ever Snow Again??
Fozz replied to WxUSAF's topic in Mid Atlantic
Yes we’ve done ok considering how ridiculously warm it’s been. A large part of the reason was that cold spell in January. But the problem is that this kind of warmth has become so normalized. -
The snow depth map from 18z 3k NAM yesterday gave me 2” exactly. My actual total was 80% higher. It’s a bad tool most of the time.

Fozz replied to WxUSAF's topic in Mid Atlantic
Thats why the mid-January cold spell with those two snow events felt so special and even extraordinary. It brought back memories of the past, as if the atmosphere decided to give us a rare taste of the bygone 20th century winter cold we used to enjoy years ago. -
The Weekend Rule? Saturday 2/17 - The Icon Storm
Fozz replied to DDweatherman's topic in Mid Atlantic
I find it incredible that many places just a few miles from that band didn’t just get 4-5”, a lot of them got less than 2” while they were just miles away from 6-12”. That has to be infuriating. -
I’d love to see something to look forward to before the second half of March, but I think people are really sick of the rug pulls.

It sure does. And after Jan 2016, which was like the ultimate W for this hobby (along with Feb 2010), I am not quite as emotionally attached to IMBY snow as I was before. It's still nice to see, but there are also so many mountains where I want to experience big storms and powder days. These -PNA patterns we've been getting are all great opportunities to ski out west while this area gets skunked, and I encourage those who are able to take advantage of it. -
That storm next Friday on the Euro looks like another yawner... perfect track, 40 degree rain
-
If this psuhoffman storm ends up anything like the 2011 psuhoffman storm then I’ll be happy to call it a winter. As I recall that one also initially looked rainy but then had great dynamics.

The Weekend Rule? Saturday 2/17 - The Icon Storm
Fozz replied to DDweatherman's topic in Mid Atlantic
Yeah many of the runs a few days ago had my area in between the bands, and with maybe 1-2” while places north and south would’ve gotten quite a bit more. -
We’d better not be finished for the season. Still keeping an eye on Friday
