No idea the totals, but I recall there being 6-12” storms time after time after time. Was definitely better north of the mason dixon. We did have the March 94 storm out here. It was like 20 inches. But a ton of ice in Feb I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eskimo Joe Posted February 7 I'm kind of excited for the next 10 - 14 days. We could have a sneaky big event in here that catches everyone off guard. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snow hasn’t been easy this winter, so I’m trying to stay patient... I'm expecting mix. Practically every time our area is bisected by mix, my yard mixes too. 850s will rip out of the sw for a time while precipitating until flow flips n w/slp to our east. 850 line isnt down by RIC. I usually mix with the midlevel look I'm seeing. Havent looked at why the euro is a good but colder. I'll just blindly hug that for now 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't need a repeat of the Nov 2018 ice storm over here in Waynesboro , Augusta area.... booms cracks and bangs were constant that night along with pretty light flashes lighting up the sky........

SnowenOutThere Posted February 7 I have never experienced a proper ice storm storm or glacier storm that dumps snow then ice without it turning to rain. I have also never been in a low temp ice event and it would be the only way to get a snow day now so... Just kidding though, I would love a snow day and a glacier but I would rather have a foot of snow. If this storm does end up giving us a majority snow event that would be crazy, 3-4(if Sunday happens) moderate to heavy events in 2 weeks. With the pattern the rest of Feb looks good and we seem to have cold air in place for once so I think this thread will be up to seasonal average and maybe even more if we get lucky.

I could tell an ice storm had probably happened even though I didn’t know for sure, only because the trees were in pretty bad shape. It looked pretty crazy.

Unless someone tells you to back away and not dissect it, you're going to analyze the living F out of why the Euro is colder through all levels. So...let me be the one to tell you to back the F away and allow the rest of us to incorrectly read each suite between now and Tuesday. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
