I am in the Bahamas for Dec. 18 - 30................................ This tropical touch is heavenly............. Why couldn't we have 70 in D.C. for December 25?
AI says that D.C. received 5 - 7 inches of snow from that storm.

There has been some talk about a torch leading up to Christmas.
The White Christmas fans would have loved Christmas 1969 in Augusta County.
I recorded 12 inches of snow with a high of 24 and low of 14.
Lets do it....................................
26 and cloudy for what was supposed to be 34 with sun.
Euro deterministic gives Augusta 3.3" of snow Friday. Euro AI ens gives Augusta .3" of snow Friday. After looking at GEM and GFS, credibility is easy.
Heavy cloud cover persisted most of last night. This allowed a low of 12 at 2 am instead of a possible 5.
Total of 3.5 inches. 5.4 inches was reported about 10 miles south.
Snow began at 5 am with 32 degrees.
8:30- 30.9 degrees with moderate snow and .70".
My 4 model blend is 3 inches and Kuchera is 5.0"
Kuchera may be more accurate because GFS and NAM say 850mb 14 F at 1 pm which gives a ratio of 15 - 20: 1
May the grace of God be with you, your family and wife.
I lost a very special friend to the big C a few years ago. She was robbed of a beautiful life much too soon. Hopefully, your wife can beat this bastard.
HP over Chicago 12z Monday will allow northward transition of southern moisture more efficiently than southern suppression from Scranton/NYC HP Thursday night.
It could make a difference.
