It is but a couple near normal years surrounded by a lot of awful years makes for an awful stretch. And that 14” normal is already historically low due to the awful snowfall over the last 10-20 years and part of the deteriorating snow climo.

Washington dcs least snowiest decade was in the 1930s. Long time ago.

We can only look back so far in time where records are kept…maybe 1610-1634 was a bad stretch of winters that was part of a normal cycle…we don’t know.  

The eastern half of the country has had a bad winter, no doubting that. The western half has had a fairly good winter. Tahoe has had 330 inches of snow this season, usually all we hear from California is doom and gloom drought talk, but haven’t heard much about that or all the snow this year. 
 

just because we are having a bad winter doesn’t mean winter is over for forever. Doesn’t mean climate change or global warming is ruining our winters for forever. It’s like a broken record in here. Long time reader, barely ever post.

yea just kinda has that vibe.  it's cosmetic, but good enough to feel like winter.  i've only skied in colorado out west...premium powder.

I hear u.  it does have that kind of feel.  looks like its falling in somewhat slow motion.  looks nice...….. wish we had some deep pow out here this winter.  past couple winters have sucked for snowboarding out here, I haven't even gone out since the blizzard of 2016 at Timberline.

Snow picked up in Elkridge (I work here) looks like grassy surfaces and mulch could show accumulation in the next 30 mins to hour.  looking darker outside.  

light grass accumulation and mulch accumulation now.  looks nice outside but can't wait for Sundays warm wx

very ski resort, base of the mountain type of snow.  light/steady.

depends on where you are I guess.  but for a real type mountain like out west, totally agree and accurate.  I miss snowboarding out there

Flurries of varying intensity in Elkridge

I think no matter what happens we can all agree RIC is not getting snow from this event.  It happens.  I wanted an egg sandwich the other day but we ran out.  I was sad but realized it wasn’t meant to be. I had toast.  

Or Charlottesville

Anyone who thought it wouldn't be in the 50's today is a fool

What do you mean huh.  I quoted what you said.  are you even a met?

So many temp forecasts are going to bust.  Yesterday NBC4 and News Channel 8 were giddy about spiking into the low 50s today. For that to verify we're going to have to get to full sun soon.  

which forecasts have busted so far?  My high temp at work in Elkridge was 51 and we are at 53 right now.  you're talking busting high, right?  are you even a met?

Meh it's not surprising.  Anybody who believed that we'd be in the 50s today is a fool. 

and... since us who believe we would be in the 50s today are fools, what do you classify mets like yourself that make such a completely wrong claim like you did here?  Not being in 50s today?  what do you call them

What the hell is going on up there

I know, there's still ice. Wasn't it supposed to be ice free in '08?
