Maybe you crushed it with the January storm, but it hasn't exactly been a winter filled with great events. Getting crushed with snow for a couple hours certainly should rate highly in this crappy winter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jnis Posted February 20 Absent expectations, any event is a good event. 4.5” here with some drizzle beginning . 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NorthArlington101 Posted February 20 Huh, some flakes mixing in back in CHO. Mixed sleet/snow, additional .25” of sleet makes my total 3.35” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lol Of course there's a good dose of "what could have been"-itis here...but still not a bad event! we all want another 96/16, but these types of storms are the reality. what's nice is that the concern of a gully washer rain has held off for now, so the first part of this was a legit snowstorm. those other great storms generally had a nice h5 pass. this was essentially an overrunning event due to a screaming jet and near perfectly timed cold high to the north.

baldereagle Posted February 20 3.5 in beautiful downtown Chestertown between 8:30 and 1pm. Nice event rates were strong. All snow. On the season, this makes 11.0. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVclimo Posted February 20 The thunder snow this morning ranks this one up there with the best < 6" events I have experienced. It wasn't the muffled thunder you sometimes get in winter. It was legit. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Suprised ya didn't mention 2009/10, 2003, etc, haha) Wouldn't say storms like this one are THE reality, but rather what's more common. A big storm can become the reality anytime of year...but the likelihood? Very inconsistent, lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, this is the last time I believe in ZR down here. Busted on that front more than a few times this year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It can happen, today wasn't really a great setup though for it IMO. Temps in the mid 20's or lower, light precip, and low sun angle is the winning recipe.

I looked at my trees and they have icicles. Interesting. Let’s face it most of our events are mixed bag mess. I just want one more to hunt track and kill before I spread mulch.

PhineasC Posted February 20 Cool event, best rates of the season. Too bad it'll be like 60 tomorrow. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[email protected] Posted February 20 When you consider we didn't even get the main storm but rather the WAA out ahead of it, I can't complain about approx 5" while the main storm went to the Lakes. We can thank the strong HP (strategically positioned) to the north for that. This was an energetic, spring-like system, with plenty of GulfMex juice. While I noticed temps rose toward the end of the snow, the temp has remained quite steady around 30.6 for the past few hours. Just a bit of sleet IMBY as the snow slowly fizzled. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WEATHER53 Posted February 20 The high is shoving things due east to ese. Lower pressure isobars are stacked along the mountains but not making much progress and until and unless that high eases to about 30.10 then we won’t see anything other than very light.
