Description:

"The attention of many meteorologists has been directed to the Presidents' Day snowstorm of 18-19 February 1979. Not only was the storm very severe, but also the National Meteorological Center's (NMC's) operational model, the Limited Area Fine-Mesh Model (LFM), failed to forecast the storm adequately. On 18-19 February 1979, an intense cyclone developed along the mid-Atlantic coast and produced heavy snowfall there. The storm brought up to 24 inches of snow from Virginia to southern New Jersey. Snowfall rates of 1 inch per hour were common. Rates up to 4 inches per hour in the Washington D.C. area were the heaviest in over 50 years"--Introduction, paragraphs 1-2.
