Mid-Atlantic/NE didn’t land the system we wanted given the potential in place a week ago—so I had to get myself to Timberline mtn in Canaan Valley (WV) where the backside NW flow has been battering moisture upslope the Appalachians, recording 32”+ of #snow in the last 7 days.

[Khang Nguyen @khangsweather]

Honestly don’t blame the #snow for avoiding this area

[Khang Nguyen @khangsweather]

@DCAreaWx Congrats brotha!

[Khang Nguyen @khangsweather]

Cheat mtn upslope magic in full effect today at @snowshoemtn… couple inches of fresh naturals❄️

[Khang Nguyen @khangsweather]

In a stunning turn of events, DC area managed to get in on some of the action😂 yet another favorable model trend for DC this winter, leading to a quick lil thump/coating of #snow before system wraps off coast towards SNE…happy for my nova ppl

Punxsutawney Phil literally makes one forecast, which is wrong most of the time, and dips, yet he is revered by most.

I suffered through 4 years of Calc, Physics, Thermo, Programming, etc. to get my Met degree and people think I’m paid to be wrong. Maybe I chose the wrong path.

Just about this time 8 years ago(2016) was the start of biggest snowstorm of my life… storm total amount of 36” at my home—today is a holiday for all the DMV weenies #VAwx

[Khang Nguyen @khangsweather]

Found the good stuff at 4,848ft on the summit of Snowshoe, WV—feels like a west coast environment up here after receiving 11” of snow the past few days…along with -15F windchills. Haven’t seen a natural base this good in years @snowshoemtn #WVwx

[Khang Nguyen @khangsweather]

While dry air ate most the snow in BBG, Ashburn, VA cashed in on roughly 4” of new snow on top of 3” snow depth(picture from Mom)—potentially more pivotal backend snows for DC area as system dev. off coast. Brutal cold and wind on the way this wknd as trough moves on thru…

[Khang Nguyen @khangsweather]

8:04p: Base of @MammothMountain (CA) at 8,909ft—heavy snow accompanied with winds gusting 50+mph #CAwx

Already a couple cells firing eastern panhandle WV and near Hagerstown, MD…

Hey!

[Khang Nguyen @khangsweather]

Juicy environment allowing for some storms to emerge in the immediate metro region with little movement—I’m loving the outflow helping to cool down this awful hot/humid air.

[Khang Nguyen @khangsweather]

@MikeTFox5 It was inevitable Mike

[Khang Nguyen @khangsweather]

With yet another #DC area bust today, I genuinely have not heard thunder yet this year…
