I measured 21″ from the December the 19th storm which was a very significant event. Who would have thought we would get a 25″ storm in the same season?
The two major events, together with several smaller events, brings the season total to just shy of 6 feet at my location.
Many news outlets have described the major snowstorm of February 5-6, 2010 as “Snowmageddon.” Channel 9 News is referring to it as the “Super Storm.” Whatever you want to call it, it left 25″ here before finally moving out. These photos were taken this evening after the storm moved out.
I’ve been closely following this snowstorm on Capital Weather Gang’s site. The snow totals appears to be within the forecast range for Virginia. This is a lot of snow, but I expect the Virginia Extremes record to continue to stand:
High Single Storm Snowfall
48.0 in
January 6-7, 1996
Big Meadows
Big Meadows is located along Skyline Drive in Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park.
Here are a couple additional pictures from the February 5-6th snowstorm. As of 11:30a, I measured 21.75″ which was in excess of the major December 19, 2009 event. Snow is continuing to fall.
The Virginia snowstorm of February 5th and 6th has pasted everything with snow. As of 9:00a, I measured 19.5″ of snow. Snow is expected to continue much of the day. Stay tuned for additional updates.
