    Looks like Martinsburg airport will finish with the 4th lowest annual precip total since 1926. That’s after a late save with 5.84” in the past six weeks. 21.41” - 1930 26.32” - 1991 27.75” - 1969 28.25” - 2023

    This is also from Eric Webb. A helpful reminder for the impatient among us.

    1987 had its first snow on January 22 also, and DCA ended the season with 30”+. Same date in 2016 as well.

    Looks like Friday or Saturday would be your best days. From the NWS point-and-click:

    Had a snow shower pass through but rates weren’t enough to overcome the 38° temps.
  7. WVclimo
    1.65” storm total. Getting an occasional snowflake now.
  8. WVclimo
    Some snow is mixing in with the rain here. 38°.

    I’m a few miles southwest of Hagerstown. Wind has shifted to the NW and is picking up. 48° now, down from a high of 52. DP is 47. Still raining with 0.55” in the bucket.
  10. WVclimo
    Raining here. 41/39

    I’m 60 years old and I’ve seen countless storms like this in mid December. It’s a product of the pattern. I don’t think you should read too much more into it than that.

    If the Washington-Jefferson snowstorm of January 1772 happened today, it would produce major urban and small stream flooding.

    I had 4” of snow on October 29, 2012 and 3” on April 18, 2022. How much more warming has to happen to turn those events into rain storms ?
  14. WVclimo
    So, because the average temperature has increased by a couple of degrees over the past half-century we need to add those same couple of degrees to each discrete event from years past ?

    Having spent that winter in PG County, I was surprised when I moved to this area to discover that Martinsburg actually recorded a 20” winter. A heavy snow in late December was the one real “clean” event, and other times there were reports like 5” of snow out of 2.5” of precip. At least the folks measuring were doing their diligence.

    Lol. I measured 35.3” in that storm. Snow stayed on the ground for more than two weeks.. even after a week, I still had more than a foot of snow depth.

    Another morning in the teens. Low of 17.
  18. WVclimo
    16°. Coldest morning so far. Edit: low fell to 14

    That 1/29-30 storm is one I’ve always regretted missing. Wasn’t quite 3 years old at the time. But in conversations over the years with folks from suburban Maryland, they described it as a pretty fierce storm with a combination of frigid temps, heavy snow, strong winds and exceptionally high drifts.
  20. WVclimo
    Already down to 28°. Forecast low is 24. I guess clouds come in later ?
  21. WVclimo
    2.67” was my largest one-day total here since 9/2/2021
  22. WVclimo
    1.25”. Temp is up to 39
  23. WVclimo
    Steady rain at 37°. Just hit 0.25” for the morning so far. Edited: lost another 2 degrees in the past hour. Now down to 35 at noon.
  24. WVclimo
    1965 was dry leading in, like this year. Probably most similar in terms of precip of all your analogs preceding the cold season.
  25. WVclimo
    Surprised neither of those events in November 1995 amounted to an inch at BWI. Thought I remembered more snow than that when I was living in that area.
