  1. February precipitation = 3.14". February snowfall = 5.70", spread out over 7 events. Not sure any of that was worth buckling up for. Pretty sad if you ask me.
  2. For the most part the trend since the late fall has been to show wet events only for it to gradually back off as the events near. We'll see what happens with the event mid next week. Right now looks wet, 1" plus but we'll see how it progresses as we get closer. Pattern has been overall lacking in precipitation for months now. Drought Monitor issued today showed no change over the last week with still widespread dry to moderate or severe drought Mid-Atlantic and New England. Not a big deal now but two months from now if the dryness has not eased drought conditions will ramp up quickly once into May. We need March and April to deliver with above normal rainfall over a pretty large area.
  3. Thanks! Any idea where CP stands on <6"?
  4. I may have missed it but where does CP stand for consecutive days with <4" of snowfall? That record is still ongoing right? Thanks in advance.
  5. Spot on for my location. Sitting at 29.4".
  6. Finished with .40" and melted of .03". My street has a ton of salt on it this morning and no rain for at least a week to ensure a dusty mess until further notice.
  7. Pretty much just flurries here now. Just measured.40”. Could be a tad more or a tad less as it is extremely light and fluffy and winds are gusty at times so it is blowing around pretty good. The .40” seems like a good average measurement. Temp currently at 16.5.
  8. Had a period of light snow over the last hour. Everything covered. Just measured .10”. Currently still S- and 19 degrees.
  9. I've got 5.3" for the month and the largest "storm" was 2". Sad.
  10. Power outages ramping up. Wiind is howling here. Power on. Going to be bad for places with still a lot of icing on trees.
  11. Finally up to 33 here. Some pictures of the woods out in the backyard. Nothing extreme but trees are ice coated and sagging. Just got back from a few errands and passed a tree limb that had downed a power line in Randolph. Police and utility crew were on the scene.
  12. 1:15 and still below freezing here. Currently 31.5. Has been between 30.5 and 31.5 all morning. Ice not accumulating at any kind of rapid rate but up to about .10" here. Maybe a tad more. Paved / concrete surfaces just wet. Trees are drooping with the ice accumulation, nothing drastic but very noticeable. Have to say KUDOS to Walt. He had this nailed for days suggesting temperatures were going to struggle today. I will be paying closer attention to the EC-AFIS 2M temps going forward. Great work on his part!
  13. Light freezing rain currently. Temp 28. Very light glaze on pretty much everything. New snow has been squashed down from .80” to .50”.
  14. That storm was not locked in until the afternoon of. The LFM lost it on the night before. I remember it very well. The morning of nobody was predicting 12" for NYC, never mind 20". I THINK maybe forecasts the morning of were in the 3-6" range.
  15. 5:30 Did have a burst of almost moderate snow since 4pm obs. Picked up .4" in 90 minutes. Currently 26.4 degrees with very light snow and some IP- mixed in. Measured .80" at 5:30. Per radar just spotty light precip (very light snow or IP) over next few hours. Bulk of accumulation is over.
  16. 4:00 P.M. Just measured .4". Very light snow currently and temperature of 27. Everything covered. Even my very quiet street which has not been salted yet. Based on radar might be a decent thump headed this way over the next 30-60 minutes. If I'm going to get more than 1" it will have to come from that. Anything after that looks quite light and likely more sleet / freezing rain.
  17. Just very light to occasional light snow here. Light coating on everything but the street. My thinking was 1" here. Based on the current goings on hard to envision much more than that before a mix with and change to sleet and some minor freezing rain during the evening and then to plain rain around mid-night. I see NWS just hoisted High Wind Warning for gusts to 60 mph. That should be interesting with the wet ground tomorrow afternoon into Monday. Bound to be some downed trees / power outages if those gusts are realized.
  18. Flurries and very light snow (1:25 p.m.) melting on contact. Temperature is 32.
  19. Man that 500 is beautiful! Love the upper low track through northern VA and passing to our south! Was what I mentioned yesterday morning that would deliver the goods. Goods = heavy snow, strong winds and very cold high ratio wind driven snow. Would love to see these trends continue today or at least something very similar. Get this to 12Z Monday looking like this and I will feel much more confident.
  20. Just gotta get that upper low to dig baby dig into Virginia and belly under and capture the surface low before it can escape so we get the whole shebang.
  21. That is a good looking EPS mean this far out. Gotta keep these trends in tact next several days. Or at least something close.
  22. X has been smoldering for last few days. Expecting it will go to four alarms later this morning. Finally something of substance to track. Would like to see these trends continue over the weekend. Looks promising but final outcome TBD. I love the look from 00z modeling. No denying it has potential. Hopefully we have this look from 12Z Sunday runs as we move into the mid range period. Would love to see a good cold, windy and widespread 12”+ event forum wide!
