6 years ago….

Sandy was making a big impact across the region 6 years ago tonight. Snow broke out across the Wv mts during the morning, I began seeing snow mid to late afternoon after a morning of rain. Perhaps the absolute worst call I’ve ever witnessed by the NWS calling for little to no accumulation within 12 hours of changeover and within 24 hours of 2-4 feet of snow.   Snowfall rates were incredible. Snow density was unlike any snow I’ve ever seen. I drove on top of 2 feet of windblown new snow cover without sinking in. Trees began crashing about 9-10pm. Transformers on electric poles began blowing.

Will be posting more on Sandy tomorrow night as the damage was done.

First pic, the old Cherry Glade Church shortly after changeover. 10/29/12. Next pics the HRRR which did a great job in the short term. The Euro did fantastic in the mid and long range. Nam did well inside 84 hours. GFS totally flopped with this storm…..
