12k gives my yard >0.40" of QPF. 3k gives me <0.10"

The folks at LWX going bullish again:
-
Just looked at my snowfall records. The past 6 years, March has averaged 9.4" of snow in my yard, with accumulating snow in every one of those six years.
-
Winds went even higher overnight. MRB with a 66 mph gust, and the Hagerstown CWOP had one 65 mph. An 81 mph gust was reported via Mesonet near Wintergreen in Nelson Co., VA.
-
MRB gusted to 62 mph earlier this evening. A CWOP station in Hagerstown also recorded a 62 mph gust. My top gust at 10m is 55 mph so far.
-
The 0.61" of rain that fell here overnight puts me above normal for precip for February. That's the 10th above-normal month in the past 11 months.

The March Long Range Discussion Thread, Winter's Last Stand
WVclimo replied to stormtracker's topic in Mid Atlantic
Here ya go Fozz -
I finished with exactly 1.00" liquid. 0.76" was snow (sleet mix at times) and 0.24" was freezing rain.
-
Just measured ~0.15" ice accretion on tree branches. About the same on top of the snow cover. Pretty cool to break ice sheets off the top of the snow.
-
Steady light freezing rain at 30.5° is glazing things up nicely here now that the sun is down.
-
CLI report says DCA recorded 2.6" today. At 16.6" for the season now, there are only 6 winters in the past 31 years with more snowfall than this year at the airport.
-
I measured a total of 0.76" of liquid from the 5.7" of snow that fell this a.m. That's a ratio of 7.5:1
-
The thunder snow this morning ranks this one up there with the best < 6" events I have experienced. It wasn't the muffled thunder you sometimes get in winter. It was legit.

11/15 - 7.4" 12/05 - 0.1" 1/12-13 - 6.8” 1/17-18 - 1.4" 1/19 - 2.0" 1/29 - 0.9" 2/1 - 2.5" 2/10 - 1.3" 2/11- 0.7" 2/20- 5.7" total - 28.8" 109 % of climo !!

-
Just had a flash of lightning followed by a loud crash of thunder. eta: more flashes and loud thunder ongoing
-
Snow began here just before 6:00 a.m. Almost 2" accumulated in the past hour. 7:00 -- 0.5" 8:00 -- 1.3" 9:00 -- 3.2"
-
Best rates/ lowest visibility of this winter right now. Temp still dropping, down to 27. ETA: house across the street is about 350' from my front door and is barely visible at the moment.
-
0.5" for the 7:00 a.m. Cocorahs report. Heavy snow now with 1/4 mile visibility. Back down to 28 degrees.
-
Spotter in Petersburg, WV already reporting 2" on the ground.
-
Light snow and a freshening breeze. Temp up to 30.6 from 28 earlier. Should dip back as precip becomes steadier.
-
Every time someone posts this evening that a model has taken a step back, I go and look at it and my yard is still getting pounded with heavy snow tomorrow morning. HRRR, ICON, NAMs. If I see less than 3" of snow tomorrow it's gonna be quite the bust given what all guidance shows less than 12 hours from onset.
-
29/9 with high clouds covering the full moon. LWX mentioning 2" per hour rates here tomorrow morning.

I am pretty proud that I mounted that pole up there with the cups on top 13 years ago and it has withstood every storm and high wind since. But honestly, I am not sure I could do it again if it ever came down. Things aren't as easy as they were when I was younger, especially sloped roofs, lol.
