    Doh! You’re right

    Eh, idk. This winter has been pretty dry. Maybe tack on a few extra inches Actually (nerding out for a minute), 30 years ago was 1985-86, a backloaded nina winter. IAD got 15.6" total. I've already beaten that

    Was in between bands, first the northern one that got me good… and then the second one that got fairfax county/I-66

    Think mby is done for today, 2.1” final. Brings me to 17.4”, close to my median climo (which is lower than mean climo). Beating last year’s 16.9” by a hair.

    12/5: 1.5” 12/14: 1.0” 1/1: 0.2” 1/17: 0.3” 1/25: 9.5” (5.5 sn 4.0 ip) 2/6: 0.3” 2/22: 2.5” 3/2: 2.1” Total: 17.4”

    That was awful. Mountains from SC north got buried
  8. Terpeast
    Every month from dec-mar yielded more than 2” imby

    2.0”, still snowing lightly. Above freezing now so some melting and compaction. Just got back from sledding with daughter!

    Looks more like a winter wonderland than feb 22 ever did
  11. Terpeast
    Haven’t officially measured, but eyeballing close to 1.5”, finer flakes falling
  12. Terpeast
    Moderate snow, looks like radar backfilling to the west, not as heavy as initial band. Close to 1" at 30.6
  13. Terpeast
    Half inch already. I may break 16" on the season if this continues for another 30 min
  14. Terpeast
    Now it is coming down heavy, big fatties!
  15. Terpeast
    Now below freezing at 31.8, mulch and car tops caving. Grass getting dusted too
  16. Terpeast
    Snow coming down nicely
  17. Terpeast
    Light snow, good flakes. 33.8 and falling
  18. Terpeast
    I'm at 35, but dews at 19. Wet bulb temp is still below freezing

    28.8/17. Guess this time we’re not chasing moisture with cold air

    I’d say that Jan 26 forecast verified well overall, except it was too warm for the SE.
  21. Terpeast
    Didn’t check dca, but iad was about -3 for the 3 months (relative to 1991-2020 climo I believe)

    Amazing for you guys up there. While luck wasn’t on our side in the mid-atlantic, NYC’s winter and the NC HECS gives me even more conviction that the MA is not yet done with HECS potential and blockbuster winters like 95-96 and 09-10, etc.

    I have a hard time envisioning the physics that link a SSW to a subsequent el nino (or la nina). I imagine the top-down effects would be confined mainly to the polar domain or mid latitudes, but not tropics. Conversely, enso is driven mainly by tropical ocean-atmosphere (KWs and WWBs mostly) and then those forcing effects propagate to mid- and polar-latitudes via rossby waves, and then bottom-up into the stratosphere. But the other way around? I dunno.

    I think we enjoyed last year more. More powdery and lots more sledding. This time it was tough, hard/fast sledding and my daughter got a bit scared. We did make a killer igloo though!

    Yeah, we had cold and no real torch this winter. Snowcover was great. And the atmosphere threw some HECS, but they both missed. We only needed one direct hit, and it would have changed the entire picture.
