January 2016 was 5829 days ago already? Dang, I'm getting old, lol.

Really been coming down in Burke for the last 15 minutes or so in this last band. Kids got to play in the snow with friends and the pup, then headed off safely to school two hours late. Just a beautiful morning!

I’ll be rooting for a strong -PNA this month. Why? For -ENSO: Strongest -PNA Decs since 1983-4: -2021-2: -2.56; Jan was +1.01/cold -2010-11: -1.78; Jan was +1.29/cold -1984-5: -1.60; Jan was +1.63/cold -2008-9: -1.41; Jan was +0.61/cold

Had my daughter measure on the snowboard at home. 1.2”! Double my prediction yesterday! You were right @Eskimo Joe!

Thanks. Can you update this maybe once a week so we can see if any of those records fall or progress up the list. Likely many will.

Guessing around .5 here. Still alternating between flurries and extremely light snow but all paved surfaces have melted as sun tries to shine through.

OK, I called it. Sent a snow total report to NWS Blacksburg about 10 minutes ago. 1.5" on snowboard at 11 am, added to the 3.8" at 7 am, a 5.3" total. 5.0" OTG currently. STILL a few flurries and snow grains falling, but it isn't gonna add to the totals. I will say models and NWS did a good job here, forecast was 4-7". MOST models had us in 4-6" range, a couple outliners in the 6-9" range.

The downstream effects of DC Snowcover are mostly felt in sub-Saharan Africa

NYC and LGA continue their record under 4” daily streak while BOS moves into 2nd place for longest daily streak under 6”. Philly is getting closer to their longest daily under 5” streak. DC is currently at their 3rd longest run with no daily 12” amounts. State College is only a few weeks away from their new longest daily under 6” streak.

11/30/2025: T (A mix of rain/sleet from the 4am hour through about 9am. Intensity got up to light/moderate intensity at times. Temps: low/mid 30s 12/02/2025: T (Probably had a brief period of sleet w/ rain sometime between 4:30am and 5am when precip started before quickly changing to a cold rain that became moderate at times during the morning.) 12/05/2025: 1.2" (Flurries/vey light snow starting in the 4am hour intensifying to light snow between 6am and 10am (light/moderate at times). Flurries to vey light snow showers continuing through the rest of the morning.) Snow totals as of December 5th, 2025: 1.2"

measured about 1.5" on my deck railing, not as accurate as a snowboard measure, but considering a bit of compaction possible I'll take it! Wasn't expecting more than an inch up this far (NE Gaithersburg, close to Laytonsville)

this reminds me - my first two years we had back to back snows for lighting of the lawn. Early Dec snows used to be a thing!

Nice miss . I give up

see now. Aren't you glad they brined the roads for you

Four of the first five days of December have seen the PNA come in with daily values < 0. The baseline idea of a predominantly negative PNA for December appears on course, especially if the latest guidance winds up being reasonably accurate. Latest GEFS PNA forecast: However, the WPO is forecast to be strongly negative. As a result, the WPO should overwhelm the PNA- and allow generally colder than normal conditions to persist in much of the eastern half of North America during the December 10-20 period. Some milder days are plausible, but the period will likely feature below normal temperatures overall. The Southeast has the highest probability of seeing a break in the cold due to the PNA- connection to SE ridging. The most recent ECMWF weekly forecasts: December 8-15: December 15-22:

Still snowing pretty well here in Arlington. Been steady since about 6am

At school, looking out the window, and still big flakes with moderate-heavy snow! I'll ask my dad to measure for me but I think I probably got 2".

Personally I would go with the first map with one small change. I would replace Pike county with Warren county. It is still a very diverse climate area but if the New England forum can coexist with coastal CT, RI and SEMA in the same forum as VT, NH and ME I guess we can too.

Just got home. Measured 1.3" OTG. Probably 1.5+ fell but I wasn't here to measure properly. Still some non accumulating light snow falling and skies are brightening a bit. Nice wintry scene here in the woods.

It counts. I don't care.

One last band trying to develop just SW of DC. Might push DCA to over 1.5".

Steady light snow and 1.5”. No roads nor sidewalk coverage 28F Daytime high may exceed -20 from average.

Biggest event since Sunday. We are obviously a snow town

Well over an inch here in the lowlands. Probably at least 1.5" and still snowing. I thought it would of ended by now.
