Congratulations!

Ditto. Shruggies on a stick there.

Yeah I'm a fairly young man (23). I believe @Cobalt is the youngest in our subforum atm... a junior in high school.

Anyway, congratulations @yoda.

Were you ever able to find that VHS recording that you and/or one of your friends took of the 18"+/hr snowfall rates on the glacier?

... Yeah.

There is something magical about December 5th snow indeed. The December 5th, 2002 event was the first real snow event I have vivid memory of. I just remember opening my window blinds in my apartment in Falls Church as a six-year old looking at this mysterious, bright, radiant, white landscape. It was surreal... almost like I'd been teleported to a foreign planet. Thus further sparking my interest in the wintery aspects of weather. Of course, after that we would see 4 more "first snow on December 5th events" within the following seven years.

The southeastern sky was a fiery orangeish/pinkish for a good, long 30+ minutes before the sun broke the horizon. A beauty indeed.

e16 and e17 FTW... for the coastal Carolinas.

I recently noticed the free ECMWF maps on pivotal. Wow, what a game changer.

Lol! What could've been.

Just me being Curious George here... Other than the June 29, 2012 derecho (we all know that that's one of the two events you're referring to) what was the other widespread severe event in your 41 years here?

Champs.

Windy with falling temperatures.

Just hit a daily high of 78F at IAD.

60/30 TOR Probs... with 90/40 wind probs...

Meanwhile we remain "King of the Fake Droughts".

Already up to 70/67 at IAD as of 9:44am edt.

Oh yeah... this thread exists.

Though there was no Tornado Watch then, there were the quick spin-up EF-1 QLCS tornadoes in Maryland last November. 65/56 at IAD currently with thickening clouds.

The alluding to Halloween portion of the disco: "Everyone should make sure they have a way to receive warnings and get to shelter quickly should severe weather threaten your neighborhood tomorrow evening."

Yeah that's true. I also prefer the daytime to be able to see the action clearly... whatever action there may be. That's just me personally though.

With preference for the latter of course for the best heating.

HRRR at range of course but the 12z says sorry trick or treaters west of I-95.
