Is the snow hole phenomena over the DC/Balt metro region and northern MD just bad luck or actually a feature of La Ninas? Cause this looks a lot like 2010/11. I don't know if we've ever seen similar outcomes in previous La Ninas.
Yeah this was a low hanging fruit record at BWI too- appears to be the lowest. Although a high of 72 would break or tie on many other days in February too so it's still an impressive record.
Since President's Day last year literally every storm system has had the regions covered by this thread as a jackpot. It's like an extended payback for 13-14. I hope we're done though cause if we reel any more in the rest of the forum might come after us with pitchforks.
1.8" total here. I love the wet snow that sticks to all the trees- reminds me of the March 4 event last year. Attached is a picture of the woods in my backyard.
It's 70 out and three days ago I was sled riding with my oldest son in full winter gear. Is this real life? Snowpack is long gone, you beach people still have any?
Cloudy and colder than forecast today so I've held onto my snowpack for yet another day.
The weekend seems to be trending better for northern MD but I don't know if we'll get anything. LWX has a chance of rain and snow for me Saturday, Saturday night and Sunday.
The trouble is Nina winters aren't usually back-loaded and it looks like we're about to burn through the next week or two. Of course I'm always ready for more, but if we're one-and-done I'm ok with that too.
Good thing is I held on to all my snowpack today and likely will tomorrow too before the big melt starting Tuesday onwards.
This thread is magic- have you guys thought about all the thread specials we've reeled in the last two years? President's Day 2015, President's Day 2016, 4/9/16, and now this.
A pretty sunset to finish it off. Final total was still 6.5". If I get at least one 6+" storm I consider the winter a win, especially where I'm at. Can't believe we've done it four years in a row IMBY!
Still snowing- my last official measurement was 6.5". If we crack the 7" mark this will be my biggest storm since moving here besides the HECS last year. What an overperformer!
