I remember two storms, both la nina storms (I think?)..... January 2000, produced heavy snow in the DC area and rain here, and back on Vets Day 1987, heavy snow DC to Philly, only an inch or two here, and then heavy snow again up by Boston.

the snow flurring/light snow has started up again

2015-16 winter a perfect example of the extreme variability....we went from a record warm December to a record 30"+ snowstorm in January to below zero on Valentine's Day in NYC lol. and there is 2017-18 where we went from a blizzard in early January to 80 degrees in February to 5 snowstorms between March and early April.

What was the cause of that extreme cold between 2013 and 2015? The super el nino of 2015-16 ended that. The thing I remember about Pinatubo was the year without a summer (1992) and then the 1993-94 very cold and stormy winter. Going back to the 80s we also had El Chichon and some very cold winters in the early and mid 80s.

Is our area more vulnerable to this ridging than other parts of the world at the same latitude?

Pretty snow while it lasted, ended at 9 but roofs and cartops had a nice coating. This was the second most snow after that 0.5" in December. It's snowed three times here, once in each month. The one in November was a line of snowshowers that lasted an hour no accumulation so a "light" T , then the 0.5" in December and this which was a "heavy" trace (coatings on rooftops and cartops). At least I got to see snow fall with this one, which wasn't the case with the other two which occurred at night.

Honestly if JFK only reported a T in that event in December when we got half an inch I don't see how they will get more with this....that was more snow than what we got with this event.

Looks like the snow has ended and already melting from the rooftops

Let's see what JFK gets

cartops also covered with a coating of snow now and a big fat snowflake just came and stuck to my window and hasn't melted yet lol

cartops are also covered now with a coating and a big fat snowflake just came and stuck to my window and hasn't melted yet lol

People are taking pictures of it here whole roofs are coated in white lol...I guess this is the "surprise snow" people were talking about lol Cartops also covered with a coating of snow now and a big fat snowflake just came and stuck to my window and hasn't melted yet lol

roofs are coated with snow and its been snowing steadily for a few hours here

wow are you my neighbor? thats exactly what his roof looks like right now! I just checked and his roof has a little more, the entire roof has a coating of white now

There's actually people here taking pictures of the snow with their cellphones lmao

it's snowing here and starting to coat the roofs!

omg this is legit snow now sticking to roofs lol

it's actually sticking to rooftops this is the kind of surprise snowstorm we're talking about

it's snowing here too! actually a little harder now lol

Well I can't see anything now lol

Torch has to be 70 or higher. 50's is still just lukewarm at best.

Maybe in time for morning? I'd love to see that when the sun comes up

maybe these little guys will come back and fix things? from 1945 (two years before Roswell) https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/13/us/ufo-new-mexico-congress.html?smid=tw-share 4:24 AM The American public can reasonably expect to get some answers to questions that have been burning in the minds of millions of Americans for many years,” said Christopher Mellon, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence. “If nothing else, this should either clear up something that’s been a cloud hanging over the Air Force and Department of Defense for decades or it might lead in another direction, which could be truly incredible. There’s a lot at stake.”

had some hail too lol

Just like 2002
