Wonderdog Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 A rough total of 12.5 and with next week's 4-6 inches, Gainesville should exceed climo, whatever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Shaw Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Not sure if this post should be in this thread or elsewhere, but I will post it here - just let me know if it should go elsewhere and I will post it there instead. This is good data just not data from members but should be of interest to many of you in the region. Total March 2013 snowfall amounts for several "high country" mid-atlantic sites through Sat, Mar 30, 2013 (see note below about some data only through 3/29)Not much snowfall the past day or so anywhere plus Sunday's precipitation will be rain everywhere as it looks now in the mid-Atlantic so these totals will probably be final for the month. If you all are interested, I could figure out statistics for the entire winter for these sites and post them later here (or wherever you might want me to post them) Elevations of these sites range from about 2000 feet (Sines Deep Creek MD) to about 4800 feet (Snowshoe)72.1" at Terra Alta WV COOP site69.6" at the new Canaan Valley 2 WV COOP site68.9" at Davis 3SE WV COOP site (Dave Lesher's)62.9" at Laurel Summit PA COOP site59.0" at Snowshoe WV COOP site57.5" at Bayard WV COOP site55.0" at McHenry 4.8 SSE MD cocorahs site 46.5" at Oakland 1SE MD COOP site 43.4" at Sines Deep Creek MD COOP siteSome of these stations didn't post for today (Mar 30) as of the time I accessed the data, but I doubt they got much, if anything at all actually. I noticed in the daily record for Snowshoe that all the daily snowfall amounts were reported as whole inches (for example 9.0", 1.0", 4.0"). Kind of curious that all the numbers should come out even like that. None of the other stations listed worked out that way....These figures are still preliminary and unofficial - subject to correction due to many factors including my own possible arithmetic errors ( I just fixed one about 24 hours after my original post- Sines Deep Creek had 43.4" not 51.4" as I reported last night originally). Any comments, corrections, questions, observations, other data most welcome.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAPE Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 9.5" for a total here. Just about half of average...and as crappy as this winter was, still way better than the 2" debacle of last winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAsnowfan Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Season snow total 9.4" here about 20 miles west of Lynchburg. Last Sunday was the biggest storm of the year with 6.5" followed by March 5-6 with 1.3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Ten inches of snow on the season. We got seven inches of that in March. March featured three events: 3.5 inches, 1 inch, and 2.5 inches. From December thru February we saw many car top events and one clipper in particular dumped a whopping 1.5 inches. It was tough cartopping our way to 3 inches by the end of February, but we managed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattskiva Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 That's good stuff, Kevin. Thanks for the time putting it together. I'm not sure I buy the difference between Terra Alta and Oakland/McHenry. Aren't they at basically the same elevation, and isn't Terra Alta like 10 miles west of Oakland? The rest make sense, but that one seems high in comparison.

My friends and I have visited both places, and we can't believe there can be that much difference between the two locations. It boils down to the observer and the techniques they employ, including frequency of observation, to help explain the differences. I believe Terra Alta is at about 2600 feet and Oakland is at about 2400 feet, which essentially is the same elevation. And they are roughly 10-15 miles apart, running east-west basically.

Huffwx Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Doesn't snowshoe seem low? The should of had 30+ from Oct 30 alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Doesn't snowshoe seem low? The should of had 30+ from Oct 30 alone. Those are just for March numbers Huff, I think 'Shoe is around 190 for year, Canaan around 200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huffwx Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Odd winter-- I think ROA beat BCB and LYH beats Bedford-- most of Appomattox county is above Climo too.. Season snow total 9.4" here about 20 miles west of Lynchburg. Last Sunday was the biggest storm of the year with 6.5" followed by March 5-6 with 1.3".

Avdave Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Those are just for March numbers Huff, I think 'Shoe is around 190 for year, Canaan around 200. 187" season to date from the daily morning snowfall/snow ski report I get in my email. You were pretty close for the 'shoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 On 3/25/2013 at 4:07 PM, North Balti Zen said: 12/24/12 -- .2 12/26/12 -- 1.8 12/29/12-- .3 1/24/13 - .5 1/28/13 - T 2/1/13 - .3 2/2/13 - .5 2/3/13 - T 2/13/13 - .8 2/28 - 3/4 - Several Ts 3/6 - 1 3/25 - 3.4 Seasonal total as of 2/01/13 -- 8.8 inches spread over around 12 "events". Still pretty awful. This morning was fun but doesn't affect my view that this winter has blown. Bump. This winter also pretty much sucked. Really, the gap between the Jan. 2011 paste bomb and the late March 2013 storm was as bad as it gets in my part of Balt City for sustained futility. Hoping we are not in another run like that. That was 26 months between warning criteria storms, and, really, it wasn't until the following winter that really broke through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Ah, I don't remember anything from this winter, except that Winter Storm Nemo happened up north. Was on maternity leave the entire time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrinceFrederickWx Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 It sucked but it wasn't the worst winter ever- we at least had a lot of flakes flying during Christmas week, which just seems impossible now. The two mini clippers in January and March 25 were all nice little events. I was one of the first to call bust on Snowquester though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
