In what was largely a non-event for most locations, light snow that began yesterday evening persisted through most of the day today at higher elevations (above 1600 ft) in parts of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Today’s high temperature was 33.1F and new snowfall accumulation from this event was 2.25″ bringing the Old Dominion Wildlife season-to-date total over 80″.

Accuweather.com reports that Fancy Gap, VA received 6.5″ of snow from this event.

Winter Weather Update

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

I updated my snow chart showing I’m up to 78 1/16th inches this season. Some of the more recent events have mostly missed me off to the east, including the the most recent snow storm that slammed areas in the Northeast.

Snowfall totals can vary widely even over short distances. Loudoun County, Virginia has picked up a lot of snow this season including much more than I received during the February 10th event. CapitalWeatherGang readers may also be interested to hear that I heard from BlueRidgeMike who measured more snow than me during some events. He lives just a few miles north of my location. Just over 70 miles away to the west, Canaan Valley has recorded over 217″ of snow so far this winter. Their figure is not even completely up-to-date as they received more snow this weekend while I only saw flurries.

Next chance of accumulating snow is Tuesday night/Wednesday
