I hear ya, been a colder winter down here but not really that snowy outside Feb 12-13. I know you've crushed it up there. 

 

You all got robbed a couple times before that one.

 

i'd have to look at the numbers to be sure of this, but my memory is that anytime we end Jan with >20" our total for the winter comes in at more than double that.

It's one of those things. I'd say Richmond, Danville and Lynchburg triangle is only place on East Coast below normal. Barring a disaster, should be at climo by storms end. 

 

Decent winter to track at least, just not great results.

Radar may very well fill in, but current trajectory and short range guidance indicates DC is going to be on the northern fringe of the good stuff. Starting to look like this will be a 3-6 type of storm with the exception of those further south in VA.
