  1. I'm currently up in NE WVA , just north of Winchester VA and it is brutal due to winds gusting up to 40 MPH! Temps mid 20's ,WC's single digits.
  2. Yeah, hopefully that'll be the case. If blocking can set up during the favorable MJO Phases I think it will pay off this time. Some signs of this happening along with the PNA cooperating.
  3. Yeah. I'm up in Charlestown visiting realitives and that wind just cuts through you.
  4. Wouldn't doubt it Howard. It's howling out there.
  5. Mid February has always been a prime time for snowstorms in our area. Dkw, probably just luck of the draw over a climatological period.
  6. Save it as a souvenir in remembrance of when it really Snowed.
  7. In Wise VA currently. Temp is down to freezing. Already colder than progged for this hour.
  8. Margie was my favorite as a Teenager. She would cover a broad area. She was a very good TV Met.
  9. This puts me in mind of a similar setup in January 1990( similar winter). An Arctic air mass was moving southward pretty much as this one and waves rode the boundary that stalled in our area. freezing rain made it to Lee and Scott County at southern extent.
  10. We were fortunate here to do good Winter before last with right at 30 inches of Snow. Last year wasn't too good but, alright considering Nina and thanks to the March Storm. This Winter so far has only produced 2.4" Total. So, barring a major storm or something unforseen or unexpected, another below average Snow Season.
  11. Yeah, many have punted mid Feb as very mild due to lrg and MJO warm phase forecast by most guidance. Hopefully, MJO avoids those phases then . Would be our luck to get a + PNA then and the MJO foul us up then. It's just that type Winter.
  12. Regardless of what precip field that's showing, verbatim that's high elevation mountains heavy snow NC and VA . Thickness appears to be shown as ab out 543 in those area's. As long as 850 is 0 to -2T C. . Of course, does most of us no good. Hopefully, more cold will be injected than modeled.
  13. Spot on with that Post Carver ! Weak Nino is always our best shot at a cold/snowy Winter. Weak Nina's can be decent but, strong either way is killer.
  14. Yeah, with that boundary setting up in the vicinity Model's will have fluctuation's on what side we're on and what precip. Hopefully, the cold press is enough to allow for predominately snow. If we can score just one good one the way this winter has been, I'll be satisfied....well, somewhat, lol
  15. Meant to mention that event Carvers. Guess I was looking on down the road a bit,lol. Let's hope GFS is right regarding this one. Several on the MA forum are talking about GFS showing 2mT above freezing during the event. It actually is for most of the area. However, i'm not buying that as T should srop as precip falls at a decent rate. Of course, snow can accumulate above freezing if rates are heavy enough too.
  16. Hope ur right. If not, and this keeps up the rest of the season, we'll need plenty Opium.
  17. Yeah, agree on those issues. This is pretty much the most disappointing Winter in my life and I'm an Antique.
  18. They actually corrected the cold bias with the last "upgrade". From what i've heard that since that upgrade it has somewhat of a warm bias; they overcorrected.
  19. Yeah. Has Total of 4-8 the 2 waves combined for parts of area. So, hopefully it pans out and we'll be somewhat satisfied considering the terrible fate of this winter so far.
