Paleocene

Montgomery County just blasted this email to everyone (parents/staff/etc): MCPS is closely monitoring the weather forecast for Friday morning. Current weather forecasts indicate the possibility of a wintry mix beginning earlier than expected, which may affect travel conditions for students and staff. We are checking with our county partners and continue to evaluate timing, possible road conditions, and impacts to school operations. If any changes to school schedules are needed, we will notify families and staff as soon as possible through all normal communication channels.

locked in for my inch. time to sharpen the shovels!

how we lookin on the GOOFUS

Agreed! I wasn't even really ready to get in to storm tracking mode and I find it hard hard to believe we'll see any accumulation. But it looks like it's coming.

Congrats! Best of luck!

The pressure is on Montgomery County, Maryland. The superintendent sent an apology email earlier this week after the 2-hour delay for rain on Tuesday.

looks nice for RIC

Do I have a high enough post count yet to say that I like the way the 500mb charts look on various ensembles for the 10th-13th period? Or do I still have no idea what I'm doing? That period looks like it could make frozen precip happen and I like how it aligns with being in the blue on the CPC 8-14 temp charts.

im crying old bay tears, where's our side of the Potomac? Nice map tho

Ponding in the parts of my yard that get saturated. Haven't seen that much in the last few months.

We like our cold rains heavy around here!

cant wait for my cold rain

After the last couple years, I'm not believing any epic pattern 10+ days out stuff until its slapping me in the face with stinging cold snow.

Visible frosties in the moco-pgc inner burbs early this am.

Thats great. I don't want rain and 42 on Thanksgiving while the interior/appalachians from Morgantown to Ithaca NY get 10" of paste!

Every year I think that someone should do a running tally of the "total digital snow expected next 120 hours" and put it on a spreadsheet. Start on 12/1/25, then add a new row on 12/5/25, etc

My driveway runs adjacent to my house, facing due east. Creates a bit of a wind tunnel with my neighbors garage. In the winter and fall, leaf piles and snow drifts end up in the same place: along but a few feet away from where the wall meets the driveway.

Excellent wind accumulations today

Maybe it will be kinda windy one day soon. Bored to tears by this weather.

BWI: 19.2" DCA: 14.5" IAD: 22.2" RIC: 12.5" SBY: 9.0"

Friends there did report it has been a warm fall.

I was just in Minneapolis for a couple days. To my surprise, the leaf color there in the inner suburbs was quite similar to how it is here, currently. Maybe a couple days to a week ahead. I had never been there this time of year before so I figured they'd already be past peak due to the higher latitude/cooler climate.

you weren't kidding lol. nearly all of this between hour 200-300. start building your arks

@Eskimo Joe @wxmeddleryou and the MD Mesonet team made UMD Pres. Pines' "State of the Campus" address today.

Nice breeze accumulations today
