I'm not asking for big snows in December. Just a solid advisory level event regionwide would be amazing.

It's amazing how hostile our winters have become. We just casually punt 30% of winter year after year.

That's a pretty ugly 500mb chart for December. Hello 65 and sunny on Christmas.

"When in doubt, forecast drought."

Yes I posted a Tweet in another thread but cannot find it. The Canadian has definitely seen an upgrade in its 500mb verification scores of late.

Agreed. I'm just being picky on an internet weather forum.

That was a fluke that saved us statistically. We had 48 hours of winter that year.

Oh I lost hope decades ago

As long as you have an ID you can either take the more advanced classes, or slide in for a refresher.

12z Euro/GFS both try to pop a 600dm ridge later this week over the southeast

Sub-50s on the mesonet!

Always a safe bet south of NYC.

Posting the alleged new CFS DJF snowfall map for the laughs. If this somehow happened I'd probably be happy. It would be the first above average seasonal snowfall I've had in a decade.

Several new National Weather Service weather spotter classes have been scheduled for the autumn. https://www.weather.gov/lwx/skywarn

Yea radar looks like absolute garbage.

It would really be something if we were completely shut out from this event.

Historically those are not the greatest for snowfall in these parts, correct?

So is this an east based, or basinwide El Nino at this point?

Sounds like a CWG forecast.

Ping pong ball sized hail report just NW of Orange.

Always great to give the cactuses some water.

Some cool weather new for Maryland/DC folks. Montgomery County is developing an extension to the statewide mesonet with a focus on suburban and urban tripod stations. This will be known as the Montgomery County Micronet, with at least four (4) additional stations coming online this autumn. The first site just went online this past week. @wxmeddler and I rushed this site to completion as the MCS dove south from PA and we got it online maybe 10 min before the storms came in. When all is said and done, we'll have stations about ever five to seven miles in Montgomery County.
