Based on the forecast for the weekend, a couple of temperature records may be challenged in this area. Martinsburg's 76-degree high on 1/11/1975 certainly looks safe, but the record high for 1/12, which was only 65 in 1928, may be in jeopardy. Record high minimums are 47 for 1/11 (1975) and 40 for 1/12 (2013.) One or both of these might be within reach also.

You can see that a lot of ice mixed in with the snow even up your way, when you see how much liquid produced some of those snowfalls.
-
Wild swings in temperature overnight. MRB is up 15 degrees over the overnight low. Since midnight, I have had a low of 16 and a high of 33.
-
Temp is plummeting. 22° after a high of 33. Just returned from a drive around the area and in the densest patches of fog the truck thermometer rapidly fell as low as 15° and then shot back up as soon as we found clearing. Rural roads are snow-covered and icy. Beautiful night for a walk too, with brilliant starlight above the ground fog and a bright moon.

Rapid clearing behind the storm has led to the formation of fog here. With temps already falling into the 20s, starting to see a bit of glaze on some elevated surfaces that were cleared of the snow.

Mid Atlantic 2019/2020 season snow totals
WVclimo replied to Midlo Snow Maker's topic in Mid Atlantic
12/16 1.7" 01/07 4.5" Season 6.2" -
Snow has ended. Overperformer here.
-
Interesting. My 4" came in almost exactly 4 hours, so I'd say rates were consistently good for the duration.
-
Its a bit unusual for my total to be that much higher than yours. There have been some nice bands here today. I guess that made the difference ? Maybe you will hang on a while longer than me, being east of here. Do you know what your elevation is there ?
-
Just reached 4" for the day. 5.7" on the season passes the total I received in 2008-09.
-
Back edge looks to be through Cumberland now. Unless it pivots, that usually means an hour left here.
-
1.5” on the snow board. 32 degrees.
-
32/21. Per radar, I shouldn't have too long to wait for the snow to begin.
-
Mostly cloudy 25°
-
I've jumped from 29.4 to 32.5 the past hour with a freshening breeze. Still no clouds to speak of though, so hopefully winds die back off later tonight.
-
You're in a tough spot there with virtually no elevation and 43° Bay water all around. But this one has a lot of cold throughout the column and QPF has been increasing for your area all day. Hope you can join in the accumulations tomorrow.
-
33/14. Temp is dropping like a rock here. Lost 4 more degrees in the past hour.
-
LWX upped my point forecast from 'up to an inch' to 'around an inch'. Must have seen the 18Z suite.
-
Had a high of 50 here today but already down to 41 with crystal clear skies and diminishing winds. DP is down to 14 !
-
No backing down on the brine out this way. I 81 has all lanes brined from Winchester to here.
-
Had some flurries blow through earlier. Temp is 35 and hasn’t budged since sunrise. Winds still gusting to 40+

Personal Favorite (or Most "Extreme") Weather Event of 2019
WVclimo replied to George BM's topic in Mid Atlantic
Most extreme event was a microburst that hit my neighborhood on 8/18. Definitely not a "favorite" event because it left some pretty costly damage. -
I've kinda been expecting a dog of a winter this year. We have been on a pretty good heater here for a while. I have averaged 33.8" for the past 10 winters vs a long-term average of around 26". Five of those winters have been greater than that 33" average. Just been hoping for a 15-20" type season and not one of those 5-10" years.
-
Wife and kids and I biked about 15 miles on the Western Maryland Rail Trail on Christmas Eve. Weather was perfect for that kind of ride. If you ever have a chance to get up this way, it's a beautiful (paved) 26-mile path that parallels the C & O Canal.
-
5th day in a row here with a high temp in the 30's, and 8 of the last 10 days. MRB has (temporarily) gone below-normal for the month now.
