it's not even a city really - it's just an unincorporated part of western Henrico County near Richmond. It's like Seven Corners (Ffx County) or something showing up on a map.
man it's hard to believe some of us have been on these boards for 20-25 years. I joined WWBB after the March 2001 debacle searching the internet for a gd explanation as to wtf happened.
yeah i mean last year we basically didn't have winter. this year at least there is some semblance of it. although it looks like DC proper will go another year where it fails to drop below 20F.
i think it's pretty safe to say that a 5" snowstorm after Feb 20 in the immediate DC metro is much rarer than it is from Jan 1 to Feb 20. If we count the number of such storms that have happened in that period vs the number of times where such a storm hasn't happened, I would wager that the latter would far outnumber the former.
sure, but a snowstorm around here in late march is what, a 3 or 4 sigma event? probabilistically, significant snow after mid feb is rare, and becoming rarer.
that's 16 years ago. things have changed. sure you could get the anomaly and up by you it certainly is more favorable. but inside the beltway, we struggle to hit freezing at night in the heart of winter. my mid/late feb, the flowers are blooming (hell flowers around here basically never died).
