Pretty futile here lately. 0.23" since I returned on Aug 16. About 2.3" the first through the 15th of the month. Last Fall was especially colorful with the early chill/decent rainfall. Unless we get wet/cool pretty quickly, expecting dull/muted leaf color this Fall.

At least you will have leaves on the trees.

One medium size tree down in the yard. 1.40" rain which was badly needed.

1" on the nose. Most rain in months.

I'm at .40". Hope to make it to at least half an inch.

I've lived here most of my life and just turned 60. I can never remember it being this dry this early! Without a quick reversal, I think we are in trouble!

Snowshoe web cam whiteout conditions with that heavy band streaming right in

That's Fing amazing. I can't see more than 150' and they must have at least 2' at the top of Skidder Slope.

1.65"

Had there been higher dewpoints and more instability available, I think this could have been a significant severe day. Dewpoints in the mid 50s don't generally scream severe day to me. All things considered, I'd say this performed as expected. 

Except for the rain. Only 0.20".

Wow, checked and I managed 29.5 degrees for a low this morning. 

As far as gusts. I know that we managed at least 20 mph more than what I was able to get on my weather station. The weather station measured a 53mph sustained wind before the power went out and 5 telephone poles were toppled about a half mile from me. That was one of the better wind events since the one back in 2018. 

 

Where in Purcellville are you? I'm on Harpers Ferry Road about 5 miles north of Route 9 on the west side of the east hill. I did not lose power, but I was getting slammed with wind. I have a log home with a great room that has a 24' ceiling and a wall of windows that face due west with about 2000' of pasture in front of me. I had to go back to my bedroom in the back because the creaking was freaking me out. I'm at 725'.

Moderate snow here @36

your visibility is less than 1/4 mile?

It was even less than that for about 10 min., but that was it for the heavy stuff with that initial band. Just light stuff now.

SN+ Really coming down.

Large snowflakes and sleet mix.

meh, not including this winter 3 of the last 5 were right at climo IMBY

You are right, just seems like a lot less with no snow winters like this one and 2019. As a matter of fact, I had nothing close to climo last year in northwestern Loudoun county.

its hard enough to get snow as it is and you will forfeit 5 years of it for a March 93 redux?

you crazy

Well, five years of recent winters is almost nothing so what are you forfeiting.

36 degrees now, 80+ tomorrow!!

I've got sleet mixing in too.

Had thunder in Leesburg about a half hour ago.

Looks like the big goose egg will be my low.

We just don’t see this kind of cold anymore… I don’t enjoy it as much without snow as I get older but at least the glass is half full this Christmas weekend….enjoy!

Look, I have been on this earth almost 60 years and on the old and new weather boards 15-20 years. I usually just listen. Spent 2/12 years as a Meteorology major at Lyndon State College in the late 1980's. This is a top 5 before New Year for me.

We're not that cold, I'm at 8F.  I will say this, we're now coldest so far for the year.
Last time we were below 10 was that bust of a storm where it started out snow and warmed up, turned to rain and was washed away by the next morning. 

I hear you, but this is pretty damn impressive for the area it covers and the wind is impressive - look at Buffalo!

Yea but we'd maximize potential and it would look cool!

Totally agree, just pointing out how unusually cold this period is.
