    February 2015 was fabulous here as most know, with close to 40 inches falling in just over a 3 week span. The +TNH pattern along with one l.p. after another hooking with the +NAO was remarkable. The constant succession of Lps tracking up thru eastern Canada acted t in a way that kept the +NAO from behaving as usual in the they pulled the air southward from it instead of underneath and eastward.

    Don't know if this had been mentioned yet (probably has) but, DT has his final Winter Outlook out now. Nice write-up. He is going cold/snowy for the Central and Eastern U.S.. Link is on his Twitter "dtvaweatherman".

    Measured an inch on hard surfaces such as snowboard and Vehicle. Heavy dusting on grass although lying leaves had a decent coating.

    Picked up 3.03" Total Rainfall from this system. Quite a soaking. Some minor flooding .

    Most times models underdo nw Flow snowfall amounts. Particularly Se, Ky and portions of Lee, Wise and Dickenson Counties in Va.. It is these areas that get first "pick" at the lake and wrap around residual moisture. I don't know if this is incorporated in the model's, If not, it should be . Not just elevation. Model's are only as good as what's programmed into or how accurate the data is going into them.

    I lived and worked in Pennington gap in Lee County at the time and remember this well. I also recorded the event in my daily weather log. My records from then were unfortunately lost during relocation. However, memory serves me quite well. Snow began in Pennington around 8:30 p.m. and quickly became heavy. By 6:30 the next morning there was 6 inches with just a few flakes falling. I worked for the city at the time and was outside throughout the day and only observed a few light flurries and can recall reports of heavy snow just to our south in Rogersville. Snow began falling moderate to heavy just after 4 p.m. and lasted untill 9 or so with an additional 4 inches falling for a total of 10". The morning low there the 5th was -21 with the official afternoon high of 4 below. This was recorded at the radio station there as well as my home in Pennington gap. A report of -30 (via, WCYB) from the Rose hill area in western Lee County. The Jan 21 1985 outbreak was about the same with -24 Low, -4 High with snow depth of 7".

    Hm replied to my tweet regarding this and said he expected this to happen but, it should be short lived.

    Radiance, first off, kudos on the work u put into this. Good stuff ! The biggest difference this winter compared to last I believe is going to be blocking. Enough of it and you can have cold cover much of the U.S., coast to coast, including the upper Southeast even with a -PNA. Ala., 1978-79. Of course on back, the '60's featured this fairly consistent. Blocking was so strong it congested the flow to create a +PNA at times with a -PDO background . Of course, as so many make a point of, we are in a warmer Climate era now so, things are different now. Yes, this is true but, a watered down version to the pattern those years is still possible. Also, we are in a decent Solar Minimum now and let's not forget the descending QBO.

    Nothing to the snow in October, winter over thing. Several October's featured snow here and the Winter was cold/snowy. Of course, most of us know this. However, there are those that really believe that "rule". Lol.

    Yeah, kmrx was wrong on the heaviest axis 2day as it has setup through seky/swva. .93 here as of 2:30 pm...some areas along the border already at 1.5+ inches 2day alone.

    That is more than likely way underdone !
