On Feb 20th 2004 a major arctic high of 1056mb parked itself over Quebec.
A huge low spun up over the GOM and moved ENE over North Carolina.
A massive CAD event set up over the East coastal piedmont clear down to GA. In N VA the temp was 13 degrees, in NC it was in the low 20s and in SC and GA it was in the mid 20s.
The GOM low moved very, very slowly and set up an overrunning scenario over the SE and the MA into the NE. The low had qpfs of 3.5 inches that it continued to send up over the top of the immensely cold, dense arctic CAD setup.
All the S2K snow weenies had a Blizzard party bash in northern Virginia that lasted an entire week. The food and drinks were free and the hotel suites were paid for with proceeds derived from Jeb digging out most of Prince William County from the snow when all the plows got too tired and broke down in the heavy snow.
Snow spread north and eastward from Georgia NE-ward. The snow accumulated from the very beginning because it was so darn cold, even in Georgia. There was snow flurries in Jacksonville FL. The snow increased in intensity over Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, eastern Tennessee, eastern Kentucky, all over West Virginia, eastern Ohio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and points north and east over a week's time. The low moved very slowly and snow fell for days over the Southeast, Mid Atlantic, Ohio, and SNE as well as eventually overspreading the entire Northeast.
There was heavy snow and even thundersnows over a three to five day span across the entire Eastern part of the US. Thundersnows in DC shut the city down after slamming the downtown with 15 inches of snow in an hour's time. An immense snowball fight erupted in Dupont Circle; even the police joined in. DC said what the hell? SNOW DAY!!!!!!
People got out of their stuck cars and joined the snowball fight!!! Local merchants donated free hot dogs and hot chocolate as DC decided to just let it all hang out and enjoy the snow!!!!
Jeb broke all his previous records during this storm by embarking on a 20-mile jebwalk during the height of the Blizzard of 2004. Then Jeb proceeded to dig most of Prince William County out of more than 32 inches of snow that fell for three days over N VA!!! The local merchants insisted on paying Jeb for his services so Jeb used the wad to fund an immense Blizzard Bash! The military flew in all the snow weenies from S2K to a hotel in Arlington VA where they had live entertainment and free food and drinks, including alcohol and liquor and nearly any kind of indulgence they could dream up!! LOL!! Yeah baby we had a ROLLICKING GOOD TIME!!!!
While everyone was partying, Jeb insisted on digging snow. Jeb dug the hotel out of 38 inches of snow that fell locally on Arlington VA during thundersnows, shovelful by shovelful. A merchant tried to give Jeb a free snowblower but Jeb hid it in a snowdrift and kept right on digging!!!
Heavy snow dumped 24 inches on Ohio and up to 4 feet on West Virginia and Pennsylvania; the far western areas in MD got clobbered with up to 6 feet of snow. All the major metros were shut down by thundersnows and frigid temperatures, even New York City, which got buried by 5 feet of snow. The snow swirled down on the Northeast too: Boston got 4 feet, upstate NY got 5 feet and the entirety of the far northeastern states averaged 5 to 6 feet of snow. Holmdel, NJ got buried by training thundersnows with 65 inches of snow. Georgia accumulated 24 inches as did South Carolina; North Carolina got 36 inches. The Outer Banks got slammed with Sound-effect enhanced snows and were promptly buried under four feet of snow, with 20-foot drifts. The Virginia Tidewater got 4 feet of snow and Norfolk was shut down but good.
Thanks to the unbelievably good job that Jeb had done by digging the hotel out of nearly 40 inches of snow, the management decided to let the wild party continue into a second week!!! Jeb shoveled all the snow off the hotel's roof and chiseled through 23-foot drifts in the parking lot and under the building in the parking lots where the dry snow had drifted into 12-foot drifts. Guests were forced to go out windows to leave the hotel until Jeb freed the doors by shoveling all the snow around the hotel. Jeb and his friends got free food and drinks all around. The hotel offered Jeb a full-time job but Jeb declined, saying that Arlington VA was located too far south and there was not enough snow.
The snow continued to fall and drift and Jeb had his hands full re-shoveling the snow many times over. The party raged on and the live entertainment kept on jamming!!! People stared in awe as the snow drifted up to the third-story windows of the hotel!!!!
Jeb just grinned and headed back outside for more shoveling and a hearty jebwalk!!!!

I know, and see your point, but I will sacrifice a few extra days for a few good snow storms. Plus my school takes some of the vacation days away so it would not make a difference. I get out June 16th, thats only 88 with vacation days until the summer. That does not count the 1/2 days, our school trips and days when we do nothing at all, SO CLOSE, YET SO FAR. This year is drawing to a close, huh
