    Isn’t the elevation around campus between 100’ and 200’ above sea level ? I lived in College Park for several years, near the beltway, and I think my yard was under 300’.

    Some models started showing the possibility of N. Pacific ridging in the long-range, which should effectively end any chance we have of seeing a good winter. Also, it might snow on the 7th.

    Depression-era weenies were probably complaining that it would never snow again.

    You would have loved that year. 59 days at MRB above 90°. 33 of those above 95, and 17 days that the high temp was over 100 ! From 7/19 through 7/30, the “coolest” high temp was 98.

    I’m with you in wanting to see snow showing up more extensively in the CONUS. But from memory, most of our Nino snows come in big dumps, often without much in between. That’s been my expectation for this season ever since this ENSO+ took off.

    All good points/ questions. He also produced this, if it helps explain the graph lol.

    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.

    lol. December 27th. Congrats !

    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.
  13. WVclimo
    1.65” storm total. Getting an occasional snowflake now.

    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.
  16. 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 ?
  20. 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.
  22. WVclimo
    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.
  24. 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.
