Itstrainingtime

Moderate to heavy snow falling down in a portion of MD and VA. Very intense but narrow band that is producing solid coverage if you're under that band. One observer stated that in less than 2 miles they went from SN+ to just cloudy skies.

Very dark here at work when I went out at lunchtime. Driving north the sky was much brighter and I could see blue on the horizon. Temp was 29-31 on my roundtrip from Conestoga to Centerville and back.

Wow! That is awesome data. Thanks for all of it. One other fun fact, in February, Disney World recorded their lowest monthly temp since the resort opened in 1971 with a low of 23 on the 1st.

@MUweather Due primarily to a frigid start, aggregate temps in February2026 ended up about 1.5°F below avg. at millersvilleu. For the 4th month in a row, liquid equivalent precipitation (LEP) was slightly below normal. The 3.8" of snow that fell was well below the monthly average of 8.8".

I think (?) we should all be posting in the same thread to avoid confusion and lack of continuity - some are posting in one thread, some in the other, and some are posting in both. Messages/thoughts are going to be missed this way.

It's too bad we're essentially out of time for wave 1 because it has moved significantly north over the past 48 hours. A southern VA hit is now a central to even northern MD event.

Who gave their final grade? I do think it will turn cold but I think it's premature to say there's lots of winter left. I certainly wouldn't be surprised if we got more snow but I don't think that's a given.

We typically start threads in the vicinity of the onset of each met season. We'll discuss the weather here regardless of what's happening.

Elliott didn't seem too upset to pen this today: Monday's #snow threat has essentially vanished for northern MD, southeastern PA & the LSV. The Canadian high pressure system is simply too strong & now modeled to settle into NY State, ultimately suppressing the weak disturbance. Large-scale subsidence does not equal precip!

I truly appreciate the respect but Jesus is a stretch. I'm just Mike. But I'm an old Mike. LOL

Point is - it's going to get quite warm next week. The vast majority of people will be in full-on spring mode. Quite likely for good reason... But don't completely bury winter. History has shown that it can roar back after it seemed like it was gone.

That one was sort of painful here. And somewhat reminiscent of what we just experienced. The Susquehanna separated the haves (east) from the have nots. (west) I lived in Centerville and measured 3.4". Areas to my east did MUCH better.

You would have loved that storm. Imagine, the last week of April with legit SN+ in the middle of the day, temps in the mid 20s and howling winds. The rarest of winter days, and it came on April 6th. Snow was powder, too. I remember it was really cold after the storm but the snow had no chance up against the April sun. Areas that were drifted over held up for nearly a week but outside of that, it was toast the following day. School was closed the day of the storm and the day after. At least fine, rural and agricultural schools like Penn Manor were.

This is from my weather notebook: I measured 8.8" just south of Mountville here in Lancaster county. Rain began on Monday night, April 5th with temps in the low 40s and by daybreak on the 6th I had heavy snow and very strong winds which created true blizzard conditions. The 8.8" of snow fell in a 7 hour period as temps crashed into the mid 20s. We missed 2 full days of school and had a 2 hour delay on the 3rd day after the event. Winds were measured at over 50 mph in the county. Dad said we never had anything like that before in April during his lifetime and that I would never see it again. 43 years later, he's still right. Here's the snow map. I was just inside the southern edge of the good stuff. Hard to believe based on this that you didn't do better. It wasn't an elevation dependent storm, temps were in the 20s throughout the snow portion.
