6-1/4" IMBY on east side of Columbia. Temp at 1:15pm with glaring sunshine is 27.9°.

Just shoveled. Wet snow, the worst kind. 6" plus change, it appears.

10:45am Columbia: 28.8° with about 5” snow (unofficially) and still snowing.

9am Columbia: Eyeballing about 3" OTG. Temp has dropped from 6am 32.4 to 9am 31.3. My side street caved after dawn, between 7-8am.

8am 1/3/22, Columbia: 32.4 degrees and eyeballing about 1" (maybe a bit more) OTG. My side street has just caved in past 1/2 hour.

If everything is covered white I’ll claim victory, given where we were 48 hrs ago. Don’t care if it’s 1-2” vs 3-5”. Just want it to look like winter, is all. ☃️

A few ice pellets in Columbia mixed in with drizzle but NBD.

9pm Columbia 35.5° with a sprinkly rain.

36.0 / 22.1 IMBY on east side of Columbia.

Zippo observed imby. Last time I saw decent snow was in August on Mt. Blanc. Taken from cable car, 12,600’ ASL

Virga ++ 34.6°

Wind gusts just reached my side of Columbia.

We do non-events well. My bar for success is having flakes in the air.

East side of Columbia: 28.4 pre-sunrise at 6:45am 11/20. Lowest of the season.

Tuesday morning snippet for extended forecast: EXPECT PRECIPITATION TO EXPAND IN COVERAGE OVER THE EASTERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY FROM SUNDAY ONWARD IN ASSOCIATION WITH ONE OR MORE SURFACE LOWS/FRONTAL SYSTEMS. IT IS TOO EARLY TO RESOLVE DETAILED EFFECTS FROM LOW PRESSURE THAT MAY BE NEAR THE EAST COAST BY NEXT TUESDAY BUT SIGNIFICANT RAIN/SNOW AND STRONG WINDS COULD BE POSSIBLE. AT THIS TIME THE RELATIVELY HIGHER POTENTIAL FOR MEANINGFUL SNOW EXTENDS FROM THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS THROUGH INTERIOR NEW ENGLAND. THE BROAD CYCLONIC CIRCULATION AND COLD AIR MAY PRODUCE SOME LAKE EFFECT/ENHANCEMENT AS WELL. EASTERLY FLOW FROM LATE WEEK THROUGH THE WEEKEND MAY PROMOTE PERIODS OF RAIN OVER THE SOUTHERN/EASTERN PARTS OF THE FLORIDA PENINSULA. MUCH OF THE EASTERN U.S. WILL SEE BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY WITH SOME HIGHS 10F OR MORE BELOW NORMAL ON FRIDAY. ANOTHER SURGE OF CHILLY AIR WILL LIKELY BRING HIGHS OVER THE EAST BACK DOWN TO 5-15F BELOW NORMAL NEXT MONDAY-TUESDAY. ANOMALIES COULD TREND COLDER DEPENDING ON THE ULTIMATE DEPTH OF THE UPPER TROUGH CROSSING THE REGION.

After the past 3 mornings with a low of 34 IMBY on east side of Columbia, bottomed out at 31.9 Saturday morning -- so bring on Indian Summer!

Third straight morning low of 34° IMBY. Put to shame by BWI, which came in at 29°.

Low temps IMBY: 11/3/21 -- 34.4 (decent frost) 11/4/21 -- 34.7 (not much frost) Just can't seem to get down to 32 yet.

34 imby in Columbia and a decent amount of frost. Would not surprise me if most of HoCo reached 32 except maybe for those of us in SE part of county near I-95.

2.5" on east side of Columbia IMBY for the first part of this system. 4"+ for all of October here, even tho had only 0.23" for all Oct as of 10/24. So, basically 4" of rainfall from Oct 25-29.

Doubt it. Temps pretty steady at 50 in/around Columbia since late Tuesday evening until this morning.

1.3" overall on Monday evening. Thru Sunday, Oct 24 .... only had 0.21" for all of October. May make things respectable yet for Oct rainfall after upcoming late-week event.

Temp dropped a good 10° in last hour.
