Delving into 2010 for a moment. I was in south central PA and don't remember mixing issues for either of the February storms. Did temps flirt with freezing for either one along the metros/95 urban corridors? Any mixed precip? I remember storm #2 was cold.
That was a pretty interesting 12z op GFS run. Starting to see the nice 500mb plots in 350+ hour land on the ensembles result in precious, beautiful, digital blue. And vodka cold!
I've got about 10" here inside the beltway thus far. 18" = average, I'd be happy. 25" = very, very good. 30" + great. more than 35"... stellar, winter to remember. If the pattern shakes out as intended, I think my 25" goal is possible for my area.
Good to know. Do you have data on that? I was just reflecting this morning that our now 8+ day stretch of snow cover inside the beltway is anomalous in my 14-years of being here dataset.
I am a lifelong eagles fan, but transferring support to the ravens for this playoff run. They look unbeatable. Will be a great game in Baltimore next week.
I don't have real woods nearby here in silver spring but there are a few patches in local parks. Snowcover in the woods is the best. It's how winter in our once great eastern deciduous forest was for tens of thousands of years!
Backyard measurement in silver spring on the afternoon 1/19. Two storms within 120 hours of each other yielded some nice depth. More snow fell later in the evening, maybe a half inch. #slantedstick
Measured 3" this morning, then another 1" when I went back out this afternoon.
In the yard, we have nearly 8" depth on my #slantedstick! two storms is the way to go
