If there's widespread power outages and destruction like the epic GFS ice age ice storm depicts, how would @Yeoman get to read about all the power flicker reports here?
Been busy with work so haven't really tracked this week's event but LWX seemed to hedge against the GFS solution in their forecast discussion - but left the door open with the caveat...
Models have in the past been too quick with the cold air
in an anafrontal situation but every event isn`t the same.
Nothing’s settled. Not sure you can declare with confidence it’s “cold rainy this week” and “not much room for anything behind” - a week ago, people were talking about a February torch. How are those calls working out a week later?
1/3 - 10”
1/7 - 2.6”
1/16 - 2.0” (based on nearby reports)
1/29 - 0.9” (based on nearby reports)
Total - 15.5” basically hit climo! A very good January in Alexandria.
A few pictures from taking a walk earlier through the woods and sledding. A crisp 3.9 degrees but the snow looks like a million diamonds when the sun hits it.
4 degrees and have some light upslope snow falling. Brutal outside with the wind chill. The Scottie gave me the side eye “wtf” look when I took her outside just now. Deep, deep winter.
They were good when we drove in this afternoon but had just started to get snow covered…thanks for the update. Tomorrow looks downright brutal with the wind chills. Skiing should be….fun.
