☃️ON THIS DAY☃️ The 14 year anniversary of “Blizzard 2” from that record setting February of 2010. While it didn’t drop as much snow as the Feb 5-6 event, it was a brutal wind maker. ❄️: DCA-10.8” ❄️: Germantown, MD-18.0” ❄️: Westminster, MD-26.0” ❄️: BWI:-19.5” ❄️: IAD:-9.3”
Back then I was in a small home in a community with narrow drives during that storm (central MD south of Westminster). Digging out a pickup truck and a compact took two days just to get to the asphalt in my cul-de-sac. My dogs were going to the bathroom on a 3'x3' foot square piece of grass I dug out--not happy. But the power stayed on, we had plenty of firewood, and it was a nice week off!
@MikeTFox5 In Indiana, PA we had snow on the ground until April from those 2 storms.
@MikeTFox5 Back to back storms out of school for a week pretty sweet
@MikeTFox5 Wow. Look at that gradient! Any graphics illustrating how strong the winds were?
@MikeTFox5 It’s a beautiful memory for me Mike Thomas!!
@MikeTFox5 @midatlanticwx 32” from storm 1 and 20” from storm 2 in that run where I grew up in MD (NE of Baltimore) That storm was the exclamation point on the best winter I’ll probably ever experience.
@MikeTFox5 19.5” still a ton nonetheless especially getting it on top of. 25” 5 days later lol
