It got to 8 this morning. Still holding onto a 2 inch snowpack embedded with a topping of sleet and ice. 4 days and counting.

wahoowa!! my mom reports the same in town (in Staunton).

Sounds about right. Just crawls slowly up and pivots at the right time .

Examining model soundings for tonight, it looks like saturation is mostly below the snow growth zone. That suggests maybe freezing drizzle and snow grains.

looks like some scattered higher elevation spots

I wanted a wood stove but the prior owners spent a lot putting in a propane one. I must admit it’s pretty nice not dealing with clean up but I miss the crackling sound and the smell of an old fashioned fireplace.

I need a shortwave that hits negative tilt in Alabama with a surface low going tracking just inland. Gonna speak it into existence.

Strong blocking into the Western Aluetians,Bearing Sea being shown would pump up a +PNA but where does the Trough Axis set up,definite cold look towards the Mid month

What's great about the 12z euro is 2 clippers are north and 1 clipper south. M/D area in the screw zone for all. Dought it goes down like that but it's comically sad for our area.

Ended with about 4” and took opportunity to put up Santa!

Bit longer on the places I researched. Total 1"+ Consec. days CAR 134 120 Rangeley 143 131 Farmington 112 102 My short (27 yr) pack-retention spot: 123 total, 119 consec.

It just started

37.8 °F with 0.29". Second miserably cold rain day this week...I love them on weekdays!

I'm not writing off Pac Puke just yet. The solstice warm-up seems to be the most unstoppable atmospheric force on earth for 15+ years. It hasn't mattered whether we're in Nino, Nina or Nada. It hasn't mattered whether the first half of the month was good, bad or meh. It hasn't always meant a warm Christmas day per se as we've had a couple of powerful yet ultimately transient cold shots. And several times we've had normalish surface temps but with torched mid and upper levels. 2017 - 2018 is probably the biggest exception to this rule that I can remember off the top of my head. It was warm right before Christmas but then turned chilly on Christmas day and then brutally cold around New Years and the first 10 days or so of January. Even then it was a dry cold with no big storms.

At 1PM, there was a whopping 26F diff. between Valdosta’s 76 and Tifton’s 50. Tifton is a mere 45 miles N of Valdosta!

McLean, VA 2025-26 Snowfall TOTAL: 1.9" November: T 11/12: T | Stayed up late hoping for something more substantial, but there were still some VERY hard to see flurries. 11/30: T | Morning snow/sleet mix changed to rain. December: 1.9" 12/5: 1.9" | The return of the mythical December 5th snowstorm. It brought extreme cold for early-December, with my high of 29. The best start to December that my young life can remember. January: 0.0" February: 0.0" March: 0.0"

That makes 2 of us!

I don't think Tony recorded the call. I do think he is actively hijacking the program with the Hire Terry Smith shit. I think he was trying to sabotage any hire that isn't Terry Smith. I think he can go F himself. There's the door.

So, In an average 12 week winter season (84 days) if the ground was covered for the whole 12 weeks(unlikely in southern areas), ..3% less snow duration is about 2.5 days less…not exactly a shocking number imo. But ok.

0.8”

Not a ton of support in EPS to the Euro op’s solution of a storm passing well south of us. But looks like a good handful or two. Just eyeballing Pivotal maps.

Heeeeeyyyyyy!!!! Good to see you!!
