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’s a video of today’s snow:

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.

Here’s another photo taken during today’s ice storm.

There looks to be about 1/4 inch of ice is coating the trees today at Old Dominion Wildlife headquarters. Power has flickered off a couple of times, but is on for now. Tonight’s breezy weather could cause power line trouble.
