Another year over. A new one begun. What weather event stood out most to you? 2021 was not too memorable IMBY. I have two honorable mentions though. 1.) Mid/late February sleet storm which had some garden pea to marble-sized ice pellets. (0.25"-0.5" diameter) I got approximately 1.0" of sleet from it. It has nothing on the V-day 2007 sleet storm here but it was more impressive than usual sleet-wise nonetheless. 2.) The April 30, 2021 wind event. Gusts over 50 mph with the line of high-based gusty showers that moved through that afternoon. (9-10C/km low-level lapse rates FTW)

... And this is the story of why Scraff despises Disney World. Childhood robbed from him.

You mean as in: "Back visiting the swamp of AA county." or "I've officially moved back to the swamp of AA county." ?

Random fun fact: Remember kids... though it probably feels like it was an eternity ago, at this time last week we were still in our several week-long stretch of torch weather.

IAD got down to 14F (coldest temp since early 2019) DCA down to at least 22F.

To echo what lots of you have been saying t'was a decent event for sure. Most of the snow fell between 12:30am and 4am. I picked up 4.8" of the funky stuff in that time. Half of that (nearly 2.5") fell in the 2am hour as the back-end band moved through. That was the hour that I went on a "Jebwalk" as you young folk call it. Fluffy flakes with a NNW breeze (15-20+mph gusts) to boot. Every time a plow would come through plowing the road the road would just whiten up again in a minute. I wonder whether the fluffiness of the aggregates made the snow seem less heavy than it was in reality because I was quite surprised to measure an additional 2.2" of snow in a mere 50 minutes. I mean I knew it was coming down hard but I didn't know that it was THAT hard.

11/30/2021: T 1/03/2022: 6.0" 1/07/2022: 4.8" ... Total as of January 7, 2022: 10.8"

Great minds think alike. That's been my go to site for 5 1/2 years.

Hi neighbor! 40/21 at Dulles... I actually live in western Herndon but don't have a weather station and Dulles is the closest official site to me.

Thank you! Wishing you a speedy recovery. Food poisoning blows chunks.

Indeed! BTW, what year did this occur? How much dust did you ultimately end up with?

DCA has actually gotten down to at least 23F intra-hour.

Herndon, VA: 11/30/2021: T 1/03/2022: 6.0" ... Total as of January 3, 2022: 6.0"

Hi neighbor. I measured 6" even here in Herndon.

63/57 at IAD with approaching showers at 2:11pm. Feels like spring.

March 4, 2014. Was in the 60's the day prior followed by warning level snows with that (anafrontal?) system.

Common folk wouldn't understand our FOMO on good snowstorms.

When do you get back to VA?

Around 745pm est IIRC... or is it 645pm? All I know for sure is that it's not out JUST yet.

So... the HRRR extended is a good thing to trust... right?... right?

*Catches on* And hopefully we can avoid a big snow this month.

Another year is upon us (The 2022 wave is crossing the Atlantic as of this post). May it bring happiness, joy, success and healing for those who need it. Happy 2022.

May we see a better pattern for snow to start out the new year.

How much snow have you actually seen since getting up there?
