December 19th Snow Storm Links

The December 19th snow storm set records at many locations for the largest December snowfall recorded. Its occurrence near the Winter Solstice means short days and not a lot of sun around to melt the snow, especially in the hollows.

Capital Weather Gang

Anytime there is a a Mid-Atlantic weather event, I turn to the Capital Weather Gang for forecasts, analysis and commentary. There are some interesting people participating, including both meteorologists and weather enthusiasts like myself.

Stinker Flat’s Daily Greg Videos

Also known as Rainman Greg, this Leesburg, Virginia resident produced youtube videos to cover the December 19th snow event. I want to thank him for giving me (S.P. Gass) a shoutout during one of his videos.


Walter’s Snow Sculptures

Another treat is to see what Falls Church, VA resident Walter creates after snow storms. Most recently he created a snow sculpture scene of elves. His past work includes a giant mouse with cheese, lions, and more.

Snow Drift

KG standing in the snow drift by the breezeway… I turned the rocking chairs over in anticipation of high winds during the December 19th snowstorm. We got 21″ of snow from the storm with drifts much higher.
