Yeah been looking for that mid month it was more pronounced with placing that over the region but looks to be getting more muted looking ahead as you say, Could end up being a very good December after the past several years, if we can hold off the grinch, We’re off to a good start.

Tesnpest, but may go back to something with a rain tipper and wind cups again soon.

Yes sir…that stretch in the mid to Kate 80’s abd ratly 90’s was BRUTAL! Nothing ever worked out. In fact I use to say that SNE was the land of the sabotaged snow storm. Everything g that could go wrong in a winter storm, WOULD.

45.9 here grey skies

Pretreating roads in Frederick for the flizzard.

Also no real torchy weather in sight (any brief “cutting” clippers aside). Have to watch the mid-month torch potential but it looks more and more muted for our region versus plains and southeast.

If only we did snow like we do wind.

Wisest thing you've ever said....

3.6” now. GREAT DAY Took a long walk and it was timed perfectly for the second temp crash. 10.0 w -3 WC

100%. We take the look.

Oh yea seeing the grass tips penetrate through the glistening blanket of snow, so beautiful.

I see several Mets are apparently ignoring the MJO or not looking at it at all as they're continuing harping that the Pattern will flip to Trough in the West soon. I like Ryan Hall but, he's one for example. He doesn't even give a Reasoning other than bound to. Other's are basing on a Couple of Model Runs or an Alaskan Vortex. I agree the Vortex if gets situated in Alaska will alter the Pattern but not necessarily flip it trough west/ridge east. It could possibly flatten the Flow to weaker eastern Trough. Ryan and the Other's could be suggesting a short lived Flip of which is possible even with the MJO Stage and Greenland Blocking. But why not specify that ? I wonder if their bias is coming through or they're wanting their Winter Outlook to be spot on or just doing the what goes up , must come down. Anyhow, enough rantig on a Subject fitting for later lol. They may turn out right. Back to the main here and now Interest unfolding.

Yes, some of these could turn out to be better but it is a far cry from last year, We couldn’t even get pennies never mind nickels and dimes lol

Wowww congratulations Terp! Hey bringing him into the world the way of a snowlover Prayers for a safe delivery and a safe trip there!

I remember many winters back through the 90s where there was bare ground through Xmas/New Years even up into the North Country and Vermont... sometimes even in the heart of winter, especially outside the mountains. So far this year it's deep winter throughout the interior. That could be a harbinger of things to come. There's been a bit of a screw zone relative to climo over the past few years from EPA through NENJ and SENY while places north, east, and south have cashed in occasionally. That experience can create a negative bias with respect to future outcomes. But eventually our luck will change despite the warming global climate.

Euro has RIC down to 27°F when the heaviest rates arrive between 3 am and 7 am. The daily snowfall record for RIC tomorrow is 1.8" from 1954. That could be in jeopardy. I don't think a new record low maximum will be tied or broken, but it'll be close. Models warm RIC to 34 or 35°F in the afternoon. Currently, the record is 33°F, also from 1954.

A bit of good news, dewpoints running a few degrees lower then forecast this afternoon

Congrats!!

I recall the Feb 16-17 2015 event being sold as a 6-10"+ event solely because of it was progged to have 0.3-0.5" of precip fall in a brutally cold airmass. That was around when kuchera was beginning to get attention, but come game time the snow growth was terrible and grainy, and ratios were much closer to 10:1.

So no snow threats now. Sweet

Salem, VA and Smith Mountain Lake looking good!

12/5 - check Weekend, sort of - check DC folks in a tizzy - check We are due - double check

Almost seems like each clipper subsequently enhances potential for the following one

47 here. We cooked.
