Feb Long Range Discussion (Day 3 and beyond) - MERGED
WVclimo replied to WinterWxLuvr's topic in Mid Atlantic
12Z GFS has a bonafide snowstorm from Richmond to the Tidewater on Friday morning, after temps in the low 60's on Thursday in that area. -
Both GFS models have the precip skip over my area and then redevelop to the east. Like a line of storms in the spring and summer.

5.5” snow depth is frozen so hard I had trouble getting a metal ruler through to the bottom of it to measure. At least three layers of ice in the pack from snow on snow on snow.

This is just rude !

The place we are staying has a wood stove inside and a backyard fire pit so we should be set either way. It also has a deep water dock and canoes and kayaks available but I doubt if we will be able to get out onto the lake unless we get a big-time thaw the next few weeks. We always carry a folding canopy with us, big enough to cover a hot tub if it’s raining.

Light snow has added up to an additional 0.6” overnight so far. Up to 3.9” storm total. 7” of frozen snowpack on the ground. About a tenth of an inch of ice accretion also. It’s been 26 degrees since yesterday afternoon.

Renting a lakefront cabin at Deep Creek Lake the weekend of the Spring equinox. Hard to say what conditions we'll find there 4 weeks from now.

Precip transitioning to snow grains now. Looks like at least a frosting coming for the glaze of ice. High today was 26.9, low was 22.4. Beautiful winter day all around.

Things getting rough on the highways here. Multi-vehicle accident caused by icy roads at the I-81 bridge including three tractor-trailers has closed the northbound lanes. Multiple other accidents up and down the WV stretch of 81 also. Then there are difficulties like these on secondary roads: Hampshire Co 42 Fire, 1 / Multiple vehicles stuck / Cumberland Road at Harriotts Hill. Mineral Captain 37 on scene requesting FD to shut the roadway down advising multiple vehicles stuck. DOH is on location

DEC - 8.7" JAN - 8.0" FEB - 13.7" (so far) TOT- 30.4"

Freezing fog and mist past three hours here at 26 degrees. Getting very slick. Rural roads are a mess.
-
3.3” snow total from earlier puts me at 30.0” for the season. Had a bit of sleet as the main precip shield moved away. Now it’s raining at 24 degrees.
-
2" of new snow this morning. 23 degrees.

I had a 4:00 appointment scheduled at the local Urgent Care tomorrow, just to see a nurse to get a prescription filled. They called today to say they are closing and I can do a video visit. I never knew urgent cares closed for inclement weather. Hope it goes smoothly for your mother.

Only made it to 30.7 here today. Currently 27 and about to plunge with snow cover, mostly clear skies and no breeze. Dew point is 9.
-
26/8 with a light northerly breeze and clouds on the increase. Barometer seems to have crested at 30.40"

I understand how you feel. I lived in the DC burbs (Maryland) from 1982-2006. More snow was a factor in deciding to move here. It's rural where I am, but I can be in downtown Baltimore or downtown DC in about 75 minutes without traffic.

12Z HREF ensemble mean through Thursday at 7:00 p.m.
-
I've had 4 snowfalls here that have gotten me to climo this season: a 2" one, a 4", an 8" and a 12" storm. Last time I had 6"+ three times in the same winter was 2013-14. Need 3.3" tomorrow for my sixth 30" season in 15 winters at this location.
-
Would you be able to post this same map through 30 hours ? Interested to see what it shows after the first wave of precip moves away.
-
Zwyts is actually posted up about 45 miles west of your blue dot, on the other side of the top of Virginia.

Very briefly hit 46 midday today. Now 29. Had a 48 mph gust at 2:30 this afternoon. 3” snow depth, the lowest it’s been since 1/31.
