Feb 22nd/23rd "There's no way..." Obs Thread
katabatic replied to Maestrobjwa's topic in Mid Atlantic
Intense snow showers throughout the day - tough to measure but I'm estimating 11" combined with what fell yesterday. Hi only made it to 26, currently 19. Beautiful deep winter day. -

A classic upslope snowstorm on the western side of the Allegheny Front. Since yesterday morning, 6.5" imby with steady, at times moderate, snow continuing. Temp is 22.5 with winds remaining under 25 mph so the drifting is a relative minimum. Had a long pause yesterday afternoon/evening but overnight, it's been cranking. I'm a bit surprised since Erie is still closed for business, but regardless, it's very welcome for folks at the local ski resorts to be able to punch into March with a bit of a base. -

Colder air is coming. Down to 27 here in Garrett County. -

Steady light snow. 29.5 currently - temp was around 31 at sunrise, so going in the right direction. Main roads are fine since they've been treated but neighborhood/side roads caved. I'd say a little less than an inch so far. -

I'd like to be the first to report snow. Hi today was 49.8 but cooled off nicely to 33 now. I would absolutely love to be in New Jersey but that inconvenient thing called work is keeping me in the home office. I hope we all do well! -
It's like watching the development of a modern art masterpiece.

Jesus talk about a chase opportunity in our backyard. Inland a bit in southern DE verbatim? Om, yessir. -
I've heard a lil somethin' about this

58 and sunny. I'm sick of this damn heat.

I ended up gaining 53 degrees today for a high of almost 41. Warm enough that I washed my truck for the first time in forever - my god it was disgusting. Canaan NWR rose nearly 67 degrees...a record difference between hi/lo there (I know it hasn't been in existence all that long, but still that's pretty damn impressive especially since we have a ton of snow on the ground). But, the air is super dry and with a bit of a higher sun angle, voila, a noteworthy rebound.

Very cold low of -12.3 this morning. Second coldest low so far this season (few weeks ago it was -16.8).

At its core, this board does one thing: bring people together united by our love of weather who otherwise wouldn't know each other existed. You are a sterling (no pun intended) example of an awesome human being who happens to love weather. I had an amazing time staying up until 2 am talking about weather and appreciate your patience as I asked forty million questions about my passion, lake effect snow. I am no met scientist and know my lane here and appreciate the fact you let me take a drive in yours. That intercept up at Keysers Ridge is on my short list of all time weather experiences. Heck, Justin Berk loved it and reposted a pic of us getting crushed! The mark of a good time is answering a single question: would you do it again? Hell yeah, times a thousand. My door is wide open for you any time, any day.

Based on several highly unscientific measurements/observations, I'm going to call it at 7". That could be wildly inaccurate but it's impossible to measure. Temps have leveled off around 2 with winds in the 25 mph range. The squall intercept last night with @MillvilleWx at Keysers Ridge was just frickin' epic and as I told @NorthArlington101 it was truly a high-end Great Lakes-esque experience. The difference is it lasted 20 minutes here and the Great Lakes would've lasted for 2 days lol. I'm still trying to organize some victims, er volunteers, for tubing tonight at Canaan. Any takers?

My Dad lives in Midlothian and he reported a very surprised 3.5".
