I don't remember an April snow event in 2006. Do you mean 2007? It snowed during the early morning hours on April 7, 2007 and IIRC areas to the south got more snow than DC proper. I'm not entirely sure if anyone saw rates like that though.

Meanwhile, I am getting some light rain/graupel now.

The Jan 1985 event actually did drop several inches of snow in some areas of northern/central Maryland east of the mountains. With @Stormfly getting 6-7" in 40-45mins and @CAPE getting 4" in ~45mins. CAPE was living west of the bay at the time though IIRC. But your point still stands about how uncommon something like that is.

Yeah. Our standards are pretty low here in general. Once in a while we luck into more legit convective snow showers like on February 9, 2017, ... April 9, 2016 from NVA into SMD, ...and, of course, the favorite recent convective snow event in these parts... February 14, 2015. I'd love more than anything to experience a January 25, 1985 event here.

There's an interesting vorticity-max showing up on LWX radar centered near the eastern tip of the WVA Panhandle. Perhaps it enhanced any showers/snow showers this afternoon? https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?parms=LWX-N0Q-1-48-50-usa-rad

Yeah. I wasn't anticipating skies being clear the whole night (I expected temps between 32-36F for my pre-dawn run (Actual Low: 28F)).So during my run this morning I was anxiously awaiting some rogue black ice on the damp looking pavement and roads to cause me to wipe out. I, however, survived unscathed.

Clear skies + calm winds + lots of low-level moisture + wet grounds + below freezing temperatures = The heaviest "frost" I've seen 29F at IAD.

We should each go into our records for this winter and see how much rain we get while the temperature is 33F.

Not that I will tonight but if you're someone (like me) who has never drank alcohol once in your life before, what is a good way to start without killing yourself? ... SHOULD I start?

Yeap. It was Election Day.

Reminds me of the weather in this region on November 3rd this past year w/ a deck of clouds extending from wsw/sw to ene/ne... But you said it was during the summer so I don't know for sure whether you are talking about the event I mentioned or a different one as those "standing cloud-deck features" actually occur at least occasionally every year, though usually not as frequently in the summer.

Another year is over and, like always, I'm a curious and noisy young man. What weather event(s) stood out for you personally in the past year? For me despite a very boring year in general I lucked into two decent (by MBYs standards) thunderstorms on June 4th and June 22nd. Both storms featured sheets of rain w/ 40-45mph wind gusts. The June 4th storm dropped the visibility to below 400 feet at one point. I know I know a lot of you will happy about that but MBY usually gets missed way more often than not. Welp, how about you guys? What event(s) stood out to you this past year (2020)?

FYI: Para-gfs is updating on tropicaltidbits again.

Lol.

What snowfall rates are you anticipating in your region should this band develop? Any chance at thundersnow?

Mega front classification (though I may have to double check this): 20F/hr 30F/6hr 40F/12hr 50F/24hr

Dec 7,9,14,25: T Dec 16-17: 2.1" Dec 18: 0.2" Stats: Trace on Christmas! Most snow received on Christmas day since 2010. 7 days with flakes through Dec 25th.

Merry Christmas to my fellow weather weenies! May we all be blessed with a surprise 6"/hr snowfall today that buries our worries away.

Yeah. I've given up tryin to figure out 2021. Summer weather in the winter then it gets colder until it starts snowing once we get into meteorological summer. In all seriousness though, Merry Christmas to you.

You celebrate Christmas on June 25th?... Cool.

Congrats to you all as always! 2.25" at IAD 1.48" at DCA 1.04" at BWI

You must be close to me. I'm in Herndon and measured about 0.3" give or take in 5 minutes.

@MillvilleWx THIS! La Plata gets enough exciting tornadoes to keep them entertained for a while. They will be fine.

Experienced 3-4"/hr snowfall rates w/ 45-50 mph wind gusts through the wee hours this morning. I even witnessed thundersnow thrice! The wait for a storm to take advantage of this pattern was definitely worth it. It's unfortunate that Ji couldn't just enjoy the storm instead of worrying about the back-edge. He may be the first poster to ever get reaped by da reaper in the middle of a HECS. @WxWatcher007 is this true?... about this being the first reaping to take place during a HECS? Btw, one of those lightning strikes may have been your reaping now that I think about it. The flash that I saw fits with the time of Ji's reaping.
