About 2" of snow cover left here after a high of 41 today. Most of the day was foggy and then brightened to hazy toward sunset. Temp is slowly dropping now under broken skies, a light north wind and a rising barometer. Really hoping for the forecasted period of snow tomorrow before the change to liquid.
LWX seems to be leaning their forecast toward climo. Point and click for my yard calls for 1 to 2 inches of snow tomorrow afternoon and 1 to 3 more tomorrow night, along with a quarter inch of ice.
Hoping they nail the snowfall amounts.
You and I look to be hanging on by a thread, but recent trends are very much against this holding for another 60 hours. This excludes tonight's snowfall, and I am sure some/ most of this is probably sleet:
18Z looks ok for our neck of the woods. We lose 850's by 10 p.m. Saturday evening, which is a few hours quicker than 12Z. Surface freezing line south of us looks the same as 12Z at that time though. We are straddling 32 by 4:00 a.m. Sunday but by then well over 0.50" of something frozen has fallen. The cold front is already pushing in from the northwest by early in the morning on Sunday.
heres a clown map:
Finished with 6.8" on 0.54" of liquid. Big totals weren't far from me. From the PNS:
Martinsburg 2 E 11.7 1000 PM 1/13 NWS Employee
Martinsburg Arpt 1 N 10.6 1144 PM 1/13 Trained Spotter
12km NAM, RGEM, and now ICON have snow redevelop all the way back here on Sunday afternoon. Most of the guidance I saw earlier today had snow ending by dawn on Sunday. Would be great to get some bonus flakes to end the weekend.
From what I have from MRB, 1/2/1994 was dry with a high of 46 and a low of 32. But 1/3 had an inch of snow and 1/4 had another 3", for a 4" storm total.
25/12 with a rising barometer at 30.39". Winds that have been gusting for 72 hours finally died down with sunset. 48 hours below freezing has frozen the ground pretty nicely.
