It was exactly a year ago that the snow really got going.......I dropped my siblings off at their martial arts lesson Friday evening, and then decided to drive north just as the snow started to stick on the roads. There was probably 1-2" of snow at that point. It was a very wintry scene, slowly getting darker, and I kept driving north on York Road until I was up around Sparks, MD at Ensor Mill Road. Then I turned back, picked them up and got back home.

Thanks WVclimo, those radars are beautiful.

No, actually NYC was totally shafted, as badly as we were on 12/26.

Ian, do you have any total QPF maps for those runs? As a weenie, I want some pink and purple!

No more WeatherTAP radars?

If it's good enough for Obama, it is good enough for us. Half a century from now I'll be telling my grandchildren about a blizzard so huge that they called it Snowmageddon.

February 4 DC forecast

People were making fun of it at the time, but it is surreal how close it ended up being to reality a week out.....not just with the snow totals but also the northern cutoff.

Isn't it a bit early for this thread? If not then I have quite a bit of stuff to post.

Yeah, it seems like none of these examples were hyped in the media 5 days out as the STORM OF THE CENTURY or any of that crap. Therefore March 2001 probably had a permanent impact in the way that huge storms are presented to the public. As for Snowmageddon, based on what I recall, a lot of TV mets seemed to be modest until the day before the storm, calling for about a foot of snow or merely "significant snow". Then around Thursday or Friday many of them finally concluded that this was another historic event.

Ever since March 2001, has any storm been hyped as much as that one, around the DC Baltimore area? In other words, were PDII, 12/19, or Snowmageddon hyped as much prior to the storm as March 2001, or did the local media permanently tone everything down?

I'm glad I didn't start following weather until December 2001, I would have been devastated.

I think at one point, central NC was expected to get hit hard. Afterwards, it was supposed to be a HECS with 20-30"+ from DC to Boston, then it kept trending north over time, and until the very end NYC was expected to get a big hit. Instead all the heavy snow was in the interior northeast, I believe.
