He has 10" now and is expecting 2'!!! 2"/hr heading into his area now!! And here I am stuck in the cool dreary south!!!
44f and cloudy in Houston with a 35f windchill.
On radar the storm is INCREDIBLE stretching out over 1500 mi E-W and beginning to take a classic comma shape as the low off the E seaboard takes over. SLOW MOVER!!!! Will take a week or more for some areas to recover IMO. If we had that here in Houston we would take a year to recover!!! :o Like you said a bullseye of 36" in the WVA, MD, DC area is not out of the question!!
Models have backed way off on the far south having a froze precip event AGAIN!!! But some areas that are getting pounded now will get it again next week!

Turn on TWC . Yes you heard me right. The snow band moving into DC now will be impressive .
You can't have thunder without lightning . My TV got hit in 93 when we had thunder snow here in Mobile .

Yeah vbhoutex...all we asked for was a little snow and they get pounded up north. And we got
nothing! They should share some of that beautiful snow with us down here desperately wanting some!!!

Yes, it's usually but not always cloud to cloud ... there have been cases of cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning strikes during snowstorms being particularly severe ... but usually it's just cloud to cloud ...
I've seen 4 thunderstorms with snow .
The first was with thundersleet and thundersnow Jan 15, 1988.
The next three was with Feb 16th, 1996 - the same ULL core which sparked the Blizzard of 1996. The first produced graupel (soft hail, snow pellets) and other two was all snow.
