Compared to "average", I'd give my final winter in NoVA a C. But, compared to what I've experienced the last 7 years, I'd say "B", because its been a relatively poor 7 years, with one NOTABLE exception in 2016. Maybe my departure will bring better winters for y'all.

Yeah, remember those 5-min obs are rounded to nearest Celsius degree from their actual Fahrenheit (so 69 became 20.6C which rounds to 21C which translates back to 70F).

Perhaps, but you don't often see 70 mph gusts in heavy snow at LaGuardia...

Odd that no one mentioned what was going on 28 years ago...

Yeah the snowfall looks funky that month, like they made some estimates based on precip.

Not exactly "memory" lane for most here, but some may find it interesting that all data from the old NYC Weather Bureau station (the Battery) is now available at NCEI: https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/datasets/GHCND/stations/GHCND:USC00305816/detail

0.28" melted out of the 3.4" snow.

3.4" in Ewing. Certainly more than I expected before looking at yesterday's guidance. Here in NoVA we got 0.5", which is less than I expected before looking at yesterday's guidance. This is your winter, guys. We're getting ripped off repeatedly down here in DC.

Ewing is up to 4.9" but I think that may be the best they can do, starting to compact.

Elevation helping a lot today.

4.2" in Ewing. We only got 2.3" at my house in LWX-land. You guys are winning by a mile this winter (not surprising given the La Nina)

3" in Ewing so far.

Ended up with 10" in Ewing. Liquid 1.62". Imagine if that was all snow and didn't include an inch or two of sleet.

Just past 6" in Ewing. Little dry slot sitting nearby has not helped them.

I'd probably live in Jersey and work here in VA if that was feasible for me Maybe one day...

Thanks lol. And yes it is. I'm not complaining. I'd love to be at Mt. Holly, but its a tough sell to lateral these days, and I'm probably not going to be a manager one day, so I'm probably here forever. Mildly disappointing, but I guess I'll live with it.

5.8" in Ewing

You know I'd like to. But competition is fierce. And I'm a slacker, lets be honest. I could find some similarly nice spots if I was willing to drive farther every day (probably wouldn't be all that different of a commute length if I lived in the Sourlands and worked at Mt. Holly, since that's probably a good 40 minute drive at a good time of day).

Its nice up there. Kinda jealous

Suprisingly less down in Ewing. You're in the borough I take it?

1/4 but I'm guessing you had a typo there.

Finally snow and passing 5" in Ewing.
