33 and raining here in Burke. Hope this nastiness gets out of here sooner rather than later.
-
We need that phase to happen and kill off the primary that gets up into f'ing Wisconsin. Wouldn't hurt for that west Coast ridge to get farther east. What I say means nothing, so might as well go for it!
-
Only if precip arrives after the temp drops.
-
Hope everyone gets as much cold rain as they can handle!

Tertiary roads are wet with brine now. They also brined up the neighborhood road going to the local grade schools. That isn't a bad idea, to be honest. That road is all hills.

Cool…this was in South Jersey and sounds really familiar. Drenching rain followed by a true flash freeze and a couple inches of snow on top. Wild stuff.
-
I was kind of annoyed by all the excitement about that squall because I got like 0.5” if I was lucky!
-
Not sure if it was the same system, but I remember an event in the 80s that was a decent rain that preceded a cold front, but as the front came through it dropped a few inches of squall-ish snow. Temps plummeted and things froze over rock-solid. It was pretty cool because we were able to play ice hockey on the huge frozen puddle (like 50 yards x 50 yards) near the creek in the park around the corner from my house.

Sorry…but you’re not going to convince me that DCA is a fair representation of the weather that takes place generally outside of downtown DC and the immediate urban-ish areas of Arlington, Alexandria, and Fairfax Counties.
-
DCA is a joke.
-
And not only that, but the timeframe of interest leads right into Christmas. Even a small glacier that would cause Santa to slip off my roof and bust his ACL would be cause for celebration.

What these guys said.

Thursday is going to suck an egg.

Methinks someone saw the 12z CMC.
-
Exactly the same in Fairfax County. The kids are in school until June 16 as it is, so extending the year would be incredibly disruptive. On topic: Yay freezing ran and sleet.
-
Very interesting to see the trend in colder temps at the surface and even at 850 as the day progresses on Thursday. 850s don't matter in the end in my neighborhood, but it's definitely neat to see.

Do chasers chase in winter?

Same in Fairfax County. Really wouldn't make any sense in the grand scheme of things. Funny how when I was a kid it was all up to the individual schools - public or private - to make the call on whether to have a snow day!
-
Shocked to hear that coming from you.
-
It does, but we (I) could use some sun.
-
That's OK. I'm not going to worry about the details of the Canadian at Day 10. Strom? Check. Cold air flooding into North America? Check. All good for now.
-
I'm really surprised that you're taking the pessimistic route.
-
I was looking at that, and I could tell that something was amiss, but I honestly don't have the skillz to really identify - and especially explain - the hows and whys things happen the way they do. I found it interesting that there were two storms nearly back to back, whereas previous runs squashed that initial wave. Again...I think I know why that happened, but my explanation would probably suck.
-
I actually think we're on the way up again. There's a storm with tons of moisture and a lot of cold air around. The potential is there, which I think is something we should be cautiously excited about.

I need Christmas purrn.
