Today is cold, don't get me wrong. But it's deep winter conditions up here with 7" snow depth, temps in the teens and blowing snow everywhere! 

@nj2va Making me jealous. We were going to come out for this storm seeing the upslope totals, but then it trended to give 4-6 to my area and the forecast was 8-12 out your way. That plus the negative wind chills made it a bit much for the kids, and only suitable for sickos like us. 

We might try Canaan area for one of those upslope snows. It's like a B grade LES experience which is still sick (especially when the radar shows nothing )

Yeah, I honestly was going to stay home since I was feeling lazy to make the drive but made a last minute decision at 5:30p Thursday to hit the road.  Definitely glad I did.  It’s been snowing all day long here with temps in the single digits (currently 5.8 degrees).  

You should definitely get out to Canaan for one of these…the ratios last night were easily 20-25:1.

With so many awesome pictures posted in our forum from the storms this week, I wanted to get a thread going to share here. 
 

Definitely an over performer. Estimating 15-18”+. Epic month of January for the mountains.

Light upslope snow and 7 degrees.

Pretty far above avg snowfall for the month here! If only Feb could be normal..

If only PSU got that 1” of snow by Dec 1

This is horrific. Probably no shot until mid Feb. How did this happen?

Horrible winter.  It’ll never snow again.  We wrote off January and that turned out right.  Maybe we can salvage with an 1” in March.

14 degrees and just dumping big fatties. It’s been like this for a few hours. Gusty NW winds.

After a period of light snow, things have picked back up here. Ripping dendrites and 17 degrees.

What an awesome snow event we had today...as I've already mentioned, I was content to accept my previously forecasted 1", but am over the moon to have just measured 3.2" IMBY. And after a brief lull and the sun peeking in weak-tea fashion through the clouds, the overcast has moved back in and we are snowing lightly AGAIN. One or two of those streamers are taking aim at us.

Went out to shovel last hour, and in celebration I wore my sock-puppet-monkey pigtail hat...which I only break out for very special NoVA snowstorms in my old age...and...yeah, I took out that supplemental accessory on the right, filled with some liquid inspiration. What a great week of snow...   

Dude, great photos! Tell your wife this is going to be your holiday cards in 2024. 

Cheers!

Paging @jonjon @nj2va

you guys have a lotta experience up in the mountains.  Tomorrow I could go ski up at whitegrass in Canaan valley, you think driving up there tomorrow morning in a 4wd crv with just regular tires (not snow tires) would be ok?

Yeah, I think you’d be ok if you’re comfortable driving in snow. This stuff is so fluffy / high ratio that I think you’d be fine. If you’re nervous you could take the “long” way on interstate 68 then down 219 to Canaan vs going up through WV. I think MD does better with the roads than WV but should be ok. It’s gonna be COLD with blowing winds that will pose hazardous at times due to blowing snow.

What's your windchill?  I'm not looking forward to getting out of hot tub lol.  But I'm doing it!

It was mid single digits last I looked. No thank you ma’am!

Enjoying the last weekend of deep winter up here before we relax the pattern.  Its been ramping up all day long, the last couple squalls being the best to watch.  When the wind eases up, its eerily quiet outside with all the snowcover

This one is awesome that’s going on now. Silver dollar dendrites and ripping. Good time to get into the hot tub.
 

18 chilly degrees. 

Colorado powder with these ratios. Should hit a foot+.

Done.

Needed a new one anyway. Have had the h5 composite from 2009-10 for a few years now. It was meant to be good luck leading into a winter that ended up total shit lol.

It’s nice knowing I have so much control over what you do

I swear this used to be his profile pic? Something like it I mean

Yeah, when CAPE was C.A.P.E.

Right at 4". Average of 5.5 snow depth in the yard. Took this when I was out shoveling off the front steps a little while ago. Temp 31.

Please make this your profile picture! Gorgeous. 

19 degrees and wind starting to gust. SN+ in this band

I thought about heading to the mountains this weekend, but the storm will mostly be over after tonight and the temps will be absurdly frigid with double digit negative windchills, so I chickened out 

Yeah, hence why I am not going skiing or tubing tomorrow.  Too damn cold, will stay in by the fire with a bourbon instead. 

Working while it’s snowing should be a crime.

Updated LWX AFD 

Weenie'd out with this:

The Allegheny mountains are in for a life-threatening
Winter Storm with a wind blown 6-12" of snow and dangerously
cold wind chills starting tonight into Saturday. Blowing and
drifting snow will be a serious concern.

Two forum wide storms in a week, amazing.

Deck pic…fluffy dendrites right now.

I think I have a chance at 4”.  Another 0.10-0.15 liquid at 12/13:1 ratios.  

Dude, thats awesome.  Love to see this.

Shovel that deck son

The bottom 6-9” is a pure glacier with 4-5” of snow on top. No chance. 

Took a while for the flurries but once the legit light snow started recently, it didn’t take long for the steadier snow to start. 

23/9. Light snow just started. 
 

It’s coming!
