THIS, IS VERY, VERY BAD.

Highest ice accumulations

through Wednesday will be expected from the Hill Country into the
Austin metro area where a quarter to half inch of ice will be
possible.

Half inch. That sounds like trouble

DFW already down to 27f and frz dzl.  Hillsboro 28f ; but Buda clinging to 34f on the hour.

It's a large area too.

Sunday morning low of 27.

Slate grey overcast,  calm, cold enough to snow.

I suppose it'll warm up and rain.

.... Guidance isn't perfect....

Rather an understatement, I'd say.

Low was 34 and it has only risen to 36 all day. Couple batches of flurries too, with wind. 

Guess winter wants to come back.

At this point, both you and I are wishing that we had low-balled @Little Village Wx.  However, snow lovers who are Washington Post subscribers can console themselves by consulting their archives and reading a January 20, 1987 article written by Mary Jordan titled "Snow Hopes Dashed" (p. B1).  The article stated, among other things: " . . .(DC) residents were still waiting yesterday for the area's first measurable snowfall . . .  Rain and temperatures above freezing were expected during the rest of the week, the National Weather Service said."

Two days later, DCA recorded 10.8 inches of snow.  Three days after that was Super Bowl Sunday, and an overnight storm dropped another 9.2 inches of snow.  The Federal Government was closed on Monday, but Tuesday afternoon, January 27, 1987, produced perhaps the most epic traffic jam in DC history, as the 20 inches of snow on the ground and the temperature range of 9 to 30 at DCA proved too much for the (three?) DC snowplows to overcome during the PM rush hour. (I know because I was in that traffic jam.) When that snow was finally removed and things were back to normal, February 22-23 saw another two-day storm that dropped an additional 10.2 inches at DCA.

Am I saying that the above scenario will repeat this year? . . . Of course not, only Jebman would say that.

Good post.

Got bitter cold after that too. By then I was working out in PG County, happy to avoid DC traffic. 

.02" rain overnight, but had to scrape it from the windshield this morning.  

Kinda surprised me.

Would fit remarkably well with what we've seen ever since late Fall, with major -EPO spikes that precede a transient (albeit stout) colder regime in the Midwest/East, taking place every month or so. A similar tanking of the EPO happened close to the 15th back in November, another one near the 18th of December, and now it's plausible that a similar event will take place near the 20th-25th of this month. 

Hmmm....dude might be onto something. Hafta look for analog. Time will tell

Also the early Jan snow. Made more memorable by our power being out for 2-3 days. Major State highway closed 3 days after sudden heavy snowfall, major tree damage that took  months to clear up. All in the swamps of Anne Arundel too.

I've experienced 6 decades of central Md winter storms, some very big, and I never predicted this year's snow would be in the top 20 like this.

Sorry it has taken me a few days to report the December totals:

5.18" for Dec; 54.00" for the wet 2022  (19" snow)

Lowest temp 6f, highest 63f

.... Oh and my weim had a murmur, no issue. He lived to 14.  Good luck and enjoy! 

We also had a pup with heart murmur, she lived to 17. A little silver poodle that could run and jump like a deer. I think it'll work out.

I just tossed another log or two on the fire, 71 up, 79 downstairs. 

Been burning full bore. Was working on some oak and poplar, but finally banned the poplar until warmer weather returns.

7f low for Christmas here.

6 in AACo

BGE Power back on

I can't report event total precip because I can't get the rain gauge unfrozen from it's rack to bring it in by the fire to thaw out. And I can't use the old hair dryer heat gun on it because power's been out for 6 hours.

Not a big deal, but kinda felt like complaining. 

Temp 11, DP - 3

(I  think we'll struggle to get single digits here tonight) 

FIrst snow squall in Annapolis about 10:30

Wind pretty good too

Short but heavy blast of sleet in Annapolis 9:20

temp climbing quickly into the 30s, but no rain yet. Overcast

low 21

low 23

Another 0.18" overnight.  

Event total 2.26"

2.08" and still dripping a bit.

Minor road flooding, and just plain wet all over.

Visibility in Annapolis has improved to 1/3 mile, in fog, mist, rain.

I'm placing my obs in the obs thread instead of the icy event thread because I don't think we've had one drop of ice here today. Miserable, cold, rain.

33f and 0.30" of steady rain in AACo.

DP 31
