Weeklies are showing a very strong signal for the VDay to PD period, especially with such strong mean height anomalies 3 weeks out. Also could be a 50/50 low. Everything looks locked and loaded.

If this turns out the way the Euro weeklies are advertising, then a 30”+ season for the cities should easily be in play. Maybe 40+ if we get a HECS.

Seems like the weeklies just lock a very stable eastern trough and Greenland block throughout the whole run. Can it be trusted that far out, or is it simply projecting based on Nino climo?

While we're on this topic, here are some other spots and their snowpack records.

But if you're further N or W, you could get a much longer run under the right conditions.

You should publish it. Maybe get a PDF scan, and then upload it online.

2014 had a very sharp gradient between those who had an epic, historic winter, and those who missed out until the very late part of the season. But in the favored areas it was absolutely incredible. That's probably why. Also that list only counts consecutive days of snowpack, so if there are any small breaks before the next storm it ends the streak.

It was one of my favorites. Probably the closest we’ll ever get to a wall to wall winter.

2002-03 was the third snowiest winter on record in Baltimore, going back over 130 years. And second snowiest until 2010. On top of that it was the 8th coldest winter on record. Expecting every moderate or borderline strong El Niño to be like 2003 is incredibly unrealistic.

Your first winter in Parkton, and everyone thought it was Jay Peak

I counted 5 weeks

I think Ji averages 2/3 of what psuhoffman gets

Thats amazing, hope you enjoyed! I would’ve loved to ski out there if it was maybe 15 degrees warmer.

Not at all. More like Feb 2015 on a smaller scale. Or even December 2013. Fun times, but nothing like like 2010. I also question that 6.8” in the Hereford area of Baltimore county. That can’t be right. Probably measured the snow depth.

Here here! Looks like it’s finally wrapping up but it was awesome while it lasted. Picked up a quick 0.4” which leaves me with the same exact total as the previous event - 4.4”

Seriously these are the best rates and flake size of the day

Finally getting in on the action! Looks like a snow globe again

Thanks, that's actually perfect. Found exactly what I was looking for.

I've been trying to find the Manchester camera on MD traffic cams, but I can't find it there. Link?

The sun is peeking out, very picturesque late afternoon view but it's basically snow TV. 4" on the dot.

I was thinking of a Whistler trip in early Feb.

Down to pixie flakes. 3.8” with 7.3” depth

Fingers crossed! Radar is looking slightly better and I'm about to do another measurement.

Aren't you in Leesburg? I thought you're up to 6" now

I was there as well. Tried to meet up with nj2va but it didn’t end up happening. That one was incredible.

I thought about heading to the mountains this weekend, but the storm will mostly be over after tonight and the temps will be absurdly frigid with double digit negative windchills, so I chickened out
