This is great lunchtime reminiscing on PD2 back in 2003.
This is my second place all time storm for my lifetime.
On that Sunday morning that it started in the Harrisburg area, temps were in the single digits as a 1040+ High pressed down. It caused the initial large appendage of light to moderate snow to crawl north from MD into the LSV. Once you got in the precip shield, it didn’t stop snowing until around midday on Monday.
I remember the snow intensity picked up as the day went on Sunday with the radar lit up the whole way back to at least Missouri. The low then tracked toward the Carolina coast & intensified Sunday night. The snow got heavier Sunday night into early Monday. Temperatures actually rose into the upper 20s as the coastal low took over.
Then on Tuesday the upper low moved through, bringing a few more inches to top it off.
What an epic, long duration, historic storm!
