At least this year won’t be a 0 again! got an imperial stout and the fireplace on watching it fall in the lights.

Maybe 2-3" behind climo to date?

If only NNE had some of that real cold down there to save on energy costs.

Measured 5” at my house in Short Pump. This was definitely a memorable storm. All snow event expect for first hour or so. It snowed all day and we could enjoy it and not sleep through it. Oh and also good to see everyone’s Christmas lights in the snow. Been a long time since I have seen that combination.

My sister says it’s still snowing in Harrisonburg, which is shocking to me. Even more shocking is a storm without threat of mixing where Harrisonburg snows for 12+ hours but nary a flake in DC

-10 anomalies with a coating to show. Deep.

14/-4 here and minimal wind, actually feels kinda nice, deck popping already.

Best rates so far right now and roads are icing up. It is not alot but we are on the board for sure.

We started as rain but it went quickly to snow with no sleet

BDL should be about -10 for the month after tomorrow. In this area I believe the earliest safe pond ice in my 27 years here. Only drawback is most were already frozen by the time the snow fell on 12/2 lol. Incredible start to winter.

Tomorrow will be an unseasonably cold day. The morning low could dip below 20° in Central Park and could rival or even surpass the cold of December 5th at some locations. The ongoing stretch of below normal temperatures will likely continue into or through the second week of December. December 1-10 will be a solidly colder than normal period. The potential exists for the coldest first 10 days of December since at least 2007 (33.4°, 5th coldest December 1-10 since 2000). The five coldest December 1-10 periods since 2000 were: 1. 30.6°, 2002 2. 32.2°, 2003 3. 32.4°, 2000 4. 33.1°, 2005 5. 33.4°, 2007 All 5 of these cases had measurable snowfall in Central Park. The WPO is forecast to become strongly negative beyond December 10th. That would likely contribute to the December 10-20 period also being colder to perhaps much colder than normal overall. The probability that December 2025 will have a maximum monthly temperature below 60° is increasing. The last time that happened was in 2019 when the monthly high was 58°. If 2025 has a monthly high below 60°, that would be only the fifth such occurrence since 2000 (2003, 2004, 2005, and 2019 are the cases since 2000). The ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly was -0.2°C and the Region 3.4 anomaly was -0.5°C for the week centered around December 3. For the past six weeks, the ENSO Region 1+2 anomaly has averaged -0.27°C and the ENSO Region 3.4 anomaly has averaged -0.65°C. La Niña conditions will likely continue through at least mid-winter. The SOI was +11.57 today. The preliminary Arctic Oscillation (AO) was -1.926 today. Based on sensitivity analysis applied to the latest guidance, there is an implied near 88% probability that New York City will have a cooler than normal December (1991-2020 normal). December will likely finish with a mean temperature near 34.3° (4.8° below normal). Supplemental Information: The projected mean would be 3.2° below the 1981-2010 normal monthly value.

For the record regarding the main indices for today’s wintry event: - The prior -PNA rose to the more favorable neutral PNA (-0.1) - AO -1.9, one day after a short-term minimum of -2.2 was hit - NAO -1.2, one day after a short-term minimum of -1.3 was hit - MJO likely was inside the circle phase 8 (probably won’t know for sure for a couple of days) - +EPO - -WPO

Crazy the streamer reached all the way down to Rutherford County. My house is worth the.MPING report is in Rutherford. .

19.8/1 here at WXW1. HFD is 21/-8. WXW2 is -2.9/-5.4. SLK is -11/-17 with mist.

Fortunate indeed! I remember walking through the neighborhood and just listening to the wind how as very fine snow was falling. Fun evening.

Dusting to 0.3” north of Leesville .

Assuming my general idea is right: Cold eventually retrogrades to the West, you should see ice storms, blizzards, and tornadoes (probably in that order) in the Southern Plains later in the winter. If you're convinced Chuck is right, you had a several nasty ice storms in 1989-1990, as well as in late 2005 in December. There was a warm up I believe in 2013-14 too, with a pretty nasty ice storm in SE Canada at some point in December - don't really remember when. We did have pretty extensive cold waves at times in Dec 2013 like we're seeing now. But with the even more expansive coverage, you had an almost immediate snap pack to a thaw/warm pattern the following week. This was the height of the Dec 2013 cold snap locally - 2013-12-05 39 19 29.0 -8.8 36 0 0.35 3.5 3 2013-12-06 37 11 24.0 -13.6 41 0 0.00 0.0 2 2013-12-07 33 18 25.5 -11.8 39 0 0.00 0.0 1 2013-12-08 38 18 28.0 -9.1 37 0 0.01 0.5 1 2013-12-09 33 9 21.0 -15.9 44 0 0.00 0.0 0 2013-12-10 34 10 22.0 -14.7 43 0 0.00 0.0 0 2013-12-11 44 13 28.5 -8.0 36 0 0.00 0.0 0 2013-12-12 41 19 30.0 -6.3 35 0 0.00 0.0 0

I have shrubs that finally recovered this season!!! They got absolutely scorched.

It’s like 5mph there. You live in the thermal belt.

I’m praying my car’s battery also finds it fake tonight. It struggled the other day and took a couple tries to turn over. Only 3 years old so might need to get that looked at.

A foot of sleet would be pretty cool. Freezing rain, no thanks.

Yep, I seem to be in the 'sweet spot', at least for now, lol. It is still lightly snowing with 10dbz returns overhead? Amazing.

Congrats guys!

Giggity I mean good Lord if you watch the track that's ice on ice on snow on snow.
