grateful to have been able to document this local historic event in my hometown. Understand this was nothing on the scale of the Great Blizzard of '78 with respect to overall storm intensity. #OHwx
12.4 inches of snow accumulation at the Dayton International Airport. This overtakes the official 12.2 inches measured from the infamous Blizzard of 1978, also known as the Midwest Super Bomb.

10 years ago yesterday, December 23, 2015, @JustonStrmRider and I documented a longtrack, violent tornado pass northwest of Batesville, Mississippi, during a significant outbreak. People were at a Christmas festival in town as this beast passed. #mswx

OTD 15 years ago, December 21, 2010, I pulled over on HWY 77 near Wynnewood, Oklahoma, walked out into the tall grass, and photographed a total lunar eclipse just past midnight. Another won't occur on the winter solstice for 98 years. #WinterSolstice #okwx

An intense tornado struck the Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay in Georgia. The large EF3 threw vehicles and trailers, downed power poles, and blew over many trees on a nearby island. A boat anemometer measured a 144 mph gust. Four people were injured.
OTD 7 years ago, December 1, 2018, I chased a small outbreak of #Twisters over Central Illinois. Captured a few cool photos as this cyclic supercell produced half a dozen twisters between Naples and Havana, IL on the 1st day of Meteorological Winter.
