  1. Noticeable thickening of cloud deck the last 15 min. Wont be long. Gonna climb the roof and get a look west to North Mountain to see when it crosses the range!
  2. Anything over 4" is a good storm in my book. Always been my benchmark. And anything over 6" is a big storm. Don't know about the latter, but the former appears within reach. Add in the cold temps and this could be a great event.
  3. If that happens AND WSW verifies it goes down with Dec 19, 2009, for me. The night of the epic Christmas storm when dallas beat the undefeated saints..... also on a Saturday night! Obs: 26 / 17 30.47
  4. Hopefully, it starts in the daytime in order to put down a good base.
  5. 27 / 14. Beautiful stars and waxing crescent moon. Patchy high clouds over spreading. Would be a great night for the firepit, but dont want to add any heat to the environment!
  6. Where's the snow? Nothing. Bust. Snokone, or whatever his name is, was right.
  7. When would we ever again see 3 feet of snow and temps that stayed below freezing for a week, and in low sun season? The answer: never. '96 eats snowmageddon and defecates PD1 and 2.
  8. We'd be remiss if we failed to mention the great cirrus storm of December 2018. What a storm!!
  9. Wow. I have almost 9 inches this month alone. What is your "normal" 12 month total?
  10. What is the record for latest first freeze? It might be in jeopardy. ETA: I see the 6z tries to break down the ridge by h288. Probably just another d12 head fake.
  11. DCA: 11/21 BWI: 11/7 IAD: 11/7 RIC: 11/21 TIEBREAK: 4.1"
  12. My yard is mostly brown. The drought is back. And as today's futility has proven, it's only getting stronger. Long live the Shenandaoh Valley Desert.
  13. Here, it's pretty typical of every winter. I think my point was more how local the dryness has been. Most of the region has received significantly more, especially in Feb and Mar.
  14. I got a whopping 0.91" for March. 2.25" for the "wet" Feb. 1.67" for Jan. .40" for Dec. 1.10" for Nov. Drought has been constant here since the fall. Hell, it's pretty much never-ending here.
  15. Another gutter-cleaning downpour last night. Almost .04". Better head to Lowes and get the sand-bags!
  16. I got 9" in the March 2013 storm, and 27" from the Feb 2010 storm. Be careful what you wish for in coming west; I got 3" from the Feb 9, 2010 storm. (All these totals we're discussing were when I lived in Front Royal; moved to Stephens City in summer 2010). You're best bet is to move north of Winchester, or the higher terrain of eastern and southern Warren Co.
  17. It's the only time in my life I've seen it. 1996 was a bigger storm, in the prime of low-sun season, and much colder afterwards, so I give it the edge, but for intensity nothing could match that 1983 storm. I got 37" (1996) over almost 36 hours. Imagine getting 32" in just 16 hours. It averaged 2"/hr. Incredible.
  18. That includes the 2 events. My total was under 1" for both. Not exactly drought-busting rains. It has been notably wetter this month, but when you've had 30% of normal precip since early fall, even 1" in a week is a drop-in-the-bucket.
  19. Temp was around 14F out here. 32" in 16 hours. Thundersnow in the afternoon. 5"/hr rates for a time. You could literally look outside and watch it pile up. It was truly an epic event here. #2 all-time.
  20. I got a whopping .50" over the weekend. Drought remains.
