Does it ever snow in Woodbridge, VA?

[Stepharoonie!]

And if so, when does it usually?

 

[BuckNaked]

Yes, it does snow in Woodbridge, VA. There is no usual time, except that it's during the winter.

I lived around that area for a long time. It does snow there, usually the biggest storms hit in Jan and Feb. Once in a blue moon it will snow in Nov or March, but that is rare.

Hey Pop Daddy, you ever hear of Norton (or Barberton)?

I use to live in Woodbridge/Dale City and I can tell you that it does snow! When we lived there I use to deliver the Washington Post and we would have to walk through the stuff. It doesn't dump snow all the time, but it can. I remember once we had over 18-24" inches and we still had to deliver the papers (we delivered, but the postman didn't -- go figure!)

The President's Weekend blizzard, Feb. 2003

This massive snowstorm shutdown the local D.C. area, along with the entire northeast Megalopolis during the President's Day Weekend of February 15-17, 2003.

The average snowfall from Washington to Boston may have equaled the great storm of January 1996, which has been thought to be the biggest Megalopolis snowstorm in history for combined snow totals from all of the big cities of the Northeast.Between 2 and 3 a.m. Sunday morning, heavy snow explosively broke out across the entire Metro region. Whiteout conditions were noted over the next several hours, with snowfall rates exceeding 2" per hour. By 7 a.m., 6-10" of snow had already fallen in the D.C. area. Moderate-to-heavy snow continued all day Saturday without abatement.

Suddenly, around 8 p.m., the snow turned to sleet, even in the western suburbs. Sleet continued all Sunday night, sometimes at a moderate to heavy rate. The sleet did not add much to the total accumulations, but made for a very dense mass on the ground, which was quite difficult to shovel.

Finally, around mid-morning Monday, the precipitation ended as a brief period of moderate to heavy snow.

Officially, 16.7" of snow fell at Reagan National, which was Washington's 5th greatest storm on record. 22.1" fell at Dulles Airport, their third greatest storm. At BWI, an incredible 28.2" fell, breaking the all-time Baltimore record set during the Knickerbocker Storm of January 1922.

Generally 20-28" fell in the western, northern and northeast suburbs, and 15-20" fell from D.C. south. The eastern suburbs fared well, with Annapolis recording 23".

Yup....they get snow, normally Jan and Feb, once in awhile a Christmas snow..but generally after the first of the year.....

Yes - but it's usually gone in a day or so, any time from December to early March. They get ice also, as it's close to the Potomac R./Chesapeake Bay which moderates temperature. We live in the same county, about 30 minutes from there, and the last couple of years they've cancelled school A LOT for snow - like 10 days or so.....but here it doesn't take much on the ground for the busses to have problems.

I live a few minutes from there (used to live there) and snow is very unpredictable around here. It's like we sit on a line between where they get really bad snow and none at all. Sometimes the line shifts a little and we get hammered, sometimes not. Last year we had a couple of good snows - nothing in the foot range, but 5-7" or so which is a good amount for this area. The beauty of it is, 2 snowflakes fall and the Fed shuts down, as soon as they do, so does my work! BRING ON THE SNOW!!!
