Gefs looks good for NC and Southern Virginia from what I have seen

GFS track is perfect, right? Don't these things always shift north? LOL.

Yes.. usually after they get snow in the south then it gets pulled NW and gets the folks up north! DC Snow Hole!

I think we know this timeframe has potential - do we capitalize? Does anyone? We just have to wait and see how the actual outcome evolves! But waiting is the hardest part!

That looked like a great track for most of the run! But it did not go boom fast enough! We will see if this goes north and west with time.

Nice adjustment from the GFS for Saturday. 

That is a trend you do not want to see this early! It will be in PA by tomorrow at that rate of adjustment!

More ns involvement at 99 hr  and a  bit less confluence to the ne . Hopefully its a good thing 

I do not think we are looking for perfect set up this early. We want the key players on the field - or Ducks on the pond.. or whatever.. a perfect set up will likely disappoint if modeled this early. 

Hoping HH throws us some encouragement. Signals are not strong enough yet to get too invested through 

Been around 32.5 and 33 degrees all day. 

I am at 33 and light rain! LOL!

Feel the Grinch stole the good pattern! Maybe it will change and the PNA will grow positive by a few sizes because of Christmas... Bah humbug

Flurries. Like that band of snow showers to the south

31 with crazy winds 

Missing Bob again. Wish he would come back 

Pattern recognition and actual outcomes are two different things. The bickering over DT comments is ridiculous. The pattern looks favorable for potential winter weather. Stick with that and let's see it play out. Please stop the madness.

Not a bad look at day 10 hr264 . 

I was going to say the same. Good potential in that look.

I swear I saw a Low forecasted there recently! LOL!

Dusted in Purcellville. Nice little whitening frosting over the glacier underneath. Coldest point of the overnight. Sitting at 29

Nice little snow showers in Purcellville the last 30 minutes. Took the fog on a walk. Much calmer than 24 hours ago!

After I went out and actually saw how much more snow I got, it was definitely NOT the whopping 1 to 2 inches I had thought! SORRY for the exaggeration. Actual measuring and getting real data is super important!

Storm:
* First Snow - 5.3 inches
* Sleety Mess - 1 inch
* Topper - .65 inches

Total = 6.95 inches but it only is between 4 and 5 inches on the ground due to melting and compaction (measured best I could)

Huge win! Hated that we could not be all snow, but in December.. just can't complain much. Also, beautiful walk this morning with the dog. The streets are super icy! If you have a rudder sled, there have to be some amazing spots to fly!

Oh man in Jan. 25, 2000, I was between two bands like that for hours.  I even had a peek of sun at one point.  I ended up with 7" while areas to the west and east got 15-20. That one hurt! 

I was in that same hole! Remember it well.

Backfilling again!!! Woot woot 

With this extra snow it finally got powdery enough for drifting! (had to do it!) but it is true! The back stairs look like a Ski slop now because he steps have snow drifted all up them!

What a nice coating to end! We have nearly 2 inches more! YIKES to power flashes!
