it's been flurrying for a few hours and now there is a burst of light snow. the cats had forgotten about snow and are in the windows investigating.

Would take the rgem

Woo!

Low of 5 here We still have 2” of snow cover

You gotta look at getting out of S Weymouth, right @Damage In Tolland?

Snowing for a good 5 hours now in Silver Spring, what a nice winter morning.

I’ll confirm it. Just measured 1” exactly on the deck. Best winter ever!

Teeny tiny pixie flakes here

I wonder if there’ll be a reverse backlash with the next system after what happened today?

All obs this year for me are from Fallston, MD - 11/30 - T 12/2 - A little frz rain to start - trees and car glazed - but 35 and rain for most of event 12/5 - T (dusting from a few hours of flurries as dry cold death air ate any chance of anything else north of BWI)

Not bad snow coverage for December 5th. despite the base ground from PHL up to just south of BOS. Will help keep the air "chilled" as is moves in from the west and northwest over the next week or two.

Some phone grabs from this morning in Farmville, VA

I was in the city that night at The View which is at the top of the Prudential. Being in the city for the holidays in a snow storm is pretty awesome. I took one look at what’s happening at home, told my wife she’s driving back, and solved my problem.

Same old story, really. Nothing has changed so far this year. Temps not withstanding. Failing in the same ways we have over the last half decade +

36.9 with 0.08” in the bucket

DCA is well on its way there.

Fingers crossed!

No I can't balance my hands for turning. My arms are too week. The sled has a steering rod and the ski's angle to let me turn. I pull back on the rod to brake. I ski tethered to my instructor. The sled is locked down and spring loaded and pops up for getting on the chairlift.

No that was as close to a porking as you can imagine. The end of my street literally had more than I did about 400 yards away. Another mile west had 2-3”. Imagine walking to a friends house down the street leaving your bare yard to their white Christmas. It was a mind f*ck.

Look at that. A back end mini death band setting up over MD 26 in Carroll and NW Baltimore counties.

I think the next "system" will be Sunday night. The 12k NAM has it as does the RGEM. it is coming in at night. If the NAM is correct, that could be minor to moderate upslope for the Plateau and maybe the Apps. The MJO is a "choose your own adventure" this morning at CPC. It has yet to loop back around. But....the GFS and Euro now show it stalling in 8 - and I am still not sure that actually happens! If it actually stalls in 8 for a long period of time(and it is already halfway across 8), that would leave the door open for very cold temps. I almost kind of wonder if the CFS has it right. It trucks across the cold phases, rolls through the COD to 6, and then goes back through the cold phases again. That looks an awful lot like those CHI graphics Jax recently posted. Strong 1-2, strong Maritime, continues to dateline. I do think we have a cold shot coming mid month...we'll see if I am right! LOL.

Outside putting up Christmas lights and occasionally seeing the tiniest of snow flake float by. Overachiever!!

I'd say about 1.5" here in 20910; still snowing.

If DCA got an inch this early in the season how does the rest of the winter usually bode for them?

General odds of a moderate accumulating snow, at least should increase, the next 15 to 25 days with the - SOI dive and a re-set of the MJO.
