A rather vigorous storm system which produced an impressive and even record breaking snow across the Midwest with St Louis, MO getting buried by 12.4 inches of the white stuff, breaking the 1912 record of 12.1″. In Lincoln, IL, they obliterated a record of 4″ dating back to 1947 with an impressive 10.8″ during Sunday according to AccuWeather.

For the snow starved Washington DC area which has been soarly dissapointed this winter, they indeed recieved their biggest snow yet and it was indeed a record breaker. According to Capitol Weather Gang, 3.2 inches fell at Dulles which broke a 1990 record of 1.2″. Baltimore’s (BWI) 3.2″ broke a record set way way back in 1933 with 2.5″ and officially in DC, the 1.3″, which is the first 1″+ snowfall in March since 2011, falls a fraction shy of a record dating all the way back to 1906 at 1.5″.

Philadelphia has seen snow out of this with as much as 2-5″ nearer to the coast, around the Atlantic City area up towards Toms River, NJ as the low deepens, wrapping in more moisture along the coast along with increasing winds.

The storm which be rapidly as the jet stream, racing at well over 150 mph, is sweeping this way out to sea with no hook up the coast this time around. The the wake of the storm, more arctic air is pouring all the way to Florida with highs expected to run 10-20 below normal through the remainder of this week.

Another Storm This Weekend With Temps 30 Below Normal?

The ECMWF suggests a storm system up in Canada will drag a frontal boundary through the Midwest this weekend, could bring several inches to the Upper Midwest into the Ohio Valley Sat through Sunday with big rains, potentially some sporadic severe weather to the Lower Mississippi/Tennessee Valley.

On the backside, with a still roack bottom -AO, there is STILL a heck of a lot of cold, record cold air to tap and drag down with each storm system.

Here’s the GFS surface chart for this Sunday.

Here’s the ECMWF upper chart and 850 temps this weekend into next week. Note the next plunge of arctic air on the backside. More subzero cold for the Dakotas, single digits for Minneapolis and record lows for the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic? Bare in mind we enter April by this point!!
