  1. Notice how Baltimore has more than DC... it's because DC mixed over for awhile.
  2. my first 20 incher too near JFK. Our best storm until January 1996!
  3. mix line came up there, it mixed with sleet at DC and changed over to freezing rain in Richmond and most of southern VA.
  4. well he ate work, so allowing breaks became a moot point.
  5. Cape May will get more snow out of this than DC.
  6. they have some elevation. Mt Sinai probably has the most snow of anywhere on Long Island on average anyway.
  7. the heaviest snow has come after 1 pm so hopefully they measure it properly, driveways now covered with snow.
  8. wild I forgot it was in the 70s on this date in 2007, 11 years after the big blizzard. Second half of winter that year was much colder, even April's first 3 weeks were colder than January. and then 11 years after that we had a record cold stretch lol. There's that 11 year sunspot cycle again....
  9. sometimes they do February 1978 was forecast a week in advance on 70s technology that's like going to the moon on 60s technology lol. February 1983 was forecast in advance. March 1993 was also forecast well in advance January 1996 was forecast in advance. PD2 was also forecast well in advance. Obviously the tracks nudged north/west but the signals for all of the above were there well in advance.
  10. our biggest snowstorms had a kicker like that, they would get to the latitude of Delaware and then get booted east.
  11. everything was nicely treated here so the roads are only wet as are the sidewalks and driveways, the snow has only accumulated on natural terrain (grass, trees, bushes, etc.) as well as rooftops and cartops.
  12. even the NYC measurement was incorrect, it was closer to 30" than 20"
  13. this is why we need a super el nino to stop that northern stream
  14. yup and south of there it changes over in southern Virginia.
  15. took a long time to get up there, our first flakes started at 9:44 am but only just started to accumulate (we have a light dusting in spots), it's a very light snow but very consistent.
  16. it actually mixed with sleet in DC and changed over completely to freezing rain in Richmond.
  17. snowing here since 9:44 am (yes I managed to see the first flakes fall lol) but nothing has stuck here until now-- now we do have a light dusting in places, it's been very light snow.
  18. might be those SST anomalies and marine heatwaves at work to speed up the northern stream. A super el nino would probably upend this entire awful pattern.
  19. did we ever figure out why the block was so strong in 2009-10 and 2010-11 and is that cyclic or a one off? The interesting thing is we've had very strong blocks before that did not pay off with a lot of snow....
  20. might as well stick 88-89 and 89-90 in the analog list lol
  21. that's the way it works, the snow shield will be northwest to southeast.
  22. the further west you go, the further north the snow will be, suppression increases to the east.
