  1. The missing 50-50 early on looked like the culprit. However, even with it the HP still didn't do as you'd want.
  2. Yeah, sad. He also said the reason NWS didn't have their own Stations was funding. Sad on all accounts.
  3. Exactly. Even though many have said it's been more Nino like. The La nina augmented Ridge has been very evident and potent. Other factors created a Ninoesque pattern of sorts in some area's.
  4. If you take a look at the MADIS and COOP station's around KTRI you can see a difference. I spoke with the Chief Met at KMRX and he said it was about 3 degree's high . It is governed by the FAA and they allow a 4 degrees swing either side of actual with their Temp. Sensor's. NWS just uses FAA's Equipment. So, there you have it. No just speculation on my part. I agree in the precip reporting from some of the Official Station's. If it's Airports they're owned and governed by them unfortunately.
  5. I'm going to talk with KMRX about the Station at KTRI to see if they can go check it.. Pretty positive it's T readings are running too high.
  6. Yeah, same here. 2.9" Total. So map looks pretty accurate. Least snowy on Record here.
  7. Yeah, averages and statistics prove that.
  8. I concur on this. something definitely amiss anymore. Original thinking was missing 50-50 along with deep western Trough. However, seems to be more to it than that. Possibly a combination of said factor's along with the Atlantic SST State. Deepness of western Trough this season I'm sure played a part. The current MJO Phase I think may play a part suppressing the System next week.
  9. Yeah, MJO Phase probably best equates to a suppressed solution.
  10. Only reached 34 here today. A dusting of snow this morning with the low of 27.
  11. Yeah, if only that had setup in January or February.
  12. Yeah, clouds and wind kept temps up some. Did manage to hit 27. If winds die and skies clear, especially if early , yeah, very cold night on tap. May hit 20 or lower some areas.
  13. Not alot but, at least a nice little surprise. Still flurrying.
  14. Temp. fell from 29 to 27.4 during that heavy snshwr. . I was really pulling for the weekend system as i'm afraid it may warm up a little too much for the Tuesday one. Hopefully timing will be good and cold locks in enough.
  15. Coming down moderate to heavy now with a heavy dusting.. even on roads. Looked at Pennington gap camera and quarter sized flakes there. Still small dense ones here.
  16. Update: heavy snow falling about 200 yards to my east onward. Hills whited out !
  17. A light dusting here. Small flakes coming down pretty good now. Steady light snow.
  18. Your area it would be highly unlikely. Eastern areas, particularly northern sections not that unlikely. One of the biggest Snowfalls I ever witnessed occured April 2-5, 1987. I lived near Pennington gap,Lee County, VA at an elevation of 1550 ft. and recorded 30 inches on the north facing, shaded area's. I remember reaching down to the ground and it was wet underneath. Temps had been in the 70's for 2 weeks prior to the Storm. There'd easily been 4 feet had it all accumulated. In fact, 54" was recorded on High Knob near Norton.
