This storm reminds me of a storm. In 1994 that started as snow but then changed to skeet and I got like 5 inches of sleet on top of 6 inches of snow. Was wild!!!!
Umm....

Is it still minimal or are we losing a more significant amount of snow to it?
Minimal. Minimal enough to say GFS isn't really an outlier....

I hope not banter-ish but could someone describe in basic terms how the NC Piedmont AND DC areas score Warning+ criteria snow and minimal mixing? TY.
.Being stuck in the teens certainly helps.

It appears that November 2025 at DCA ended the three consecutive months of below normal temperature streak by finishing at 50.2 degrees, vs the 1991-2020 November normal of 49.9 degrees. (However, there is uncertainty about this because for some reason there is missing temperature data for November 16th and 23rd.) Precipitation at DCA was below normal at 0.92 inches vs 2.90 during 1991-2020.
The January-November 2025 temperature averaged 61.6 degrees at DCA, compared with the record warm 63.6 during January-November last year.
One day (Nov. 26) prevented us from ending the year with 5 consecutive months that had below normal temps. Thanks alot November 26th....

July 2025 averaged 82.4 degrees at DCA, 1.4 above the 1991-2020 normal and the 10th warmest July in DC history. That resulted in a January-July 2025 DCA temperature of 59.8 degrees, behind last year's first seven months (61.4) and further behind the record established in 2012 (61.8).
July precipitation at DCA was a somewhat below normal total of 3.54 inches, only the 95th wettest July in DC history, although more rain possibly could fall by midnight to up that total closer to the 1991-2020 DCA normal of 4.32 inches.
Edited to add: No additional precipitation fell at DCA on July 31st, and so the final July total was 3.54 inches.
Only 1 degree and some change above normal was able to push this into the top 10? Very interesting.
Pretty sure that was driven by our hot, humid nights. The above normal days weren't that extreme (only 2 day 95 or above) and like almost half the month was below normal in terms of daytime highs.

Unquestionably.

The water vapor, lol

Oof. My first AND second choices already taken

DCA - 98
IAD - 98
BWI - 98
RIC - 99

Just over 20" of snow - two 6"+ events. Snow was on the ground for almost a month. Jan and Feb below normal temps.
Have to go with A.
Things that would have made it better: That Feb. miss....man, that was painful; and Dec was blah. I really don't care that much about March sucking for winter weather this year. We did good down here, so, bring on the 70s.
Edit: Just seeing Cape's post. I should have just said ditto, lol

Yeah I was going to say, flakes fall all the time (not all the time, but it's not that rare) in April, even down in the cities. Doesn't stick or amount to anything, but they fall...

What to me is amazing is that besides the last three entrants on the table, there are only six entrants left who still have positive departures at all four sites. The closest WXDUDE64 has an overall positive departure of 24.4
Go big or go home!
I'm going to need DCA to slow down a bit and the others to catch up please. Can't believe I may have been to low on DCA

The pic I posted was on the deck. Measured multiple places in the grass and 5.5" so far is the overwhelming consensus.

Well, today wasn't the best of model days. Luckily, we still have time for changes. 18z!
Wasn't the best of- What does this even mean???
Do you know where we live!?

Imagine us...US complaining about doubling our snowfall totals to date.

Nothing about it screams historic to me as this kind of output would be expected at this range maybe once or twice per winter on average. Since ensembles are run every 6 hours, only a fraction of the major storm "signals" are ultimately verified as major snow events... even fewer as historic.
In the last 10 years, how many times have we had this type of run to run consistency, on multiple models, showing these amounts, this far out?

I mean, GFS still has 10-14” area wide over the next 10 days and this is an “off” run, so…
Nope

Honestly, from weeks ago saying we were probably going to have another cycle of -AO/NAO and a colder period late Feb and March was one of the easier long range calls that could be made imo, for all the reasons I laid out previously. And I am not averse to saying "I have no idea what is going to happen" when I don't which is often wrt long range stuff. Actually kinda surprised it took so long for some to come to this conclusion (I guess they needed to see it on the guidance first) but glad we seem to be getting a consensus forming now.
One of the the longest "I told you so"s ever

Oh no. The Canadian was also showing temps in the mid 70s for the 6th...
I mean, it is showing mid 40s now. And snow a couple days later. But...it did show that at one point.

How are the Wizards averaging 16,000 this year? I wouldn't go for free.
Haven't been to a game yet, but I'm assuming it has to be a vast majority of away team fans

We just changed back to that Sneet? Falling to slow to be purely sleet, not really grapel either.
Up to 8" (on the deck), almost 6" of snow and the rest sleet and other.
