Meaningless at this point.

Yes! We're at a point where there ca't be anymore step backs. It's time for one these to break our way.

You are constantly harping on this. Sure, the overwhelming majority of MECS and HECS have occurred before Feb 20th but to say there been little in the way of any snow during the last 1/3 of February is simply not true. Your own words are "very, very few snowfalls of any kind those two weeks". You couldn't be more wrong and I'm not trying to be nasty. Please provide data or do some research before making such a bold statement. I'm only calling you out on this because you make reference to it quite often. Just take the last 40 years. 1986,1987,1993,2003,2005,2007,2014,2015,2021 all saw events and some of those years were quite snowy periods. There were many years with close misses that still yielded some snow for certain parts of the region or had significant storms the first few day of March such as 1984,1994,1996,1999,2009,2011,2017 and 2019. My set of years are based from Feb 20th through March 1st. If you include the full last 2 week of February like you did in your post then your position worsens greatly. 2013 got a little snowy for NW and of course the epic fail the first week in March. This isn't even including countless C-2/3 inch events not even worth mentioning.

Just dipped down below freezing with a little frost on the car here in the valley.

Just takes too long to get precip into the region. GFS has been more delayed as well since yesterday. I haven't looked at other models that snow on us to see if they are earlier with onset.

Need precip to get here 6-12 hours faster. Little quicker onset and it's a decent period of snow before changeover.

Well said!

2/7: .8 Total: 18.8

We got a solid coating here. Close to an inch.

How in the hell did Richmond steal this clipper?

Light snow but skies too bright for my liking.

I was just going to post the same thing lol.

Thanks Will!

I know. I texted you the exact same thoughts a few days ago. You must have not seen it. It's unbelievable! Even in bad winters we get 10 inches alone from nickel and dime events. 2011/2012, 2012/2013 are a couple examples with plenty small events. I do believe we get 1 or 2 more moderate events but the lack of more frequent lighter snows will probably be the deciding factor in getting to average.

We had some very light snow around midnight. The slightest of dustings on the car this morning.

35 was the high today.

Euro just went bonkers with the Arctic shot behind this clipper.

Finally broke freezing. 10 days and 18 hours.

Light flurries on and off this morning.

Friday has a better chance but thats not saying much.

I remember that morning well. Heavy rain overnight changed over to windswept heavy wet snow. NW suburbs an inch or 2. Far NW suburbs probably got 3-6. I've heard people say Catoctin's got upwards of 10.

Low of 3.

It wasn't 1 run. There's were 3 consecutive Euro runs

BWI got 5 I think. Probably 3 where you are and maybe only an inch or 2 up here.

Same here. Just dipped to 4.
