So wife and I walked up to the mailbox together about 15 minutes ago (about 300 steps each way). 33 degrees, she put on a coat, scarf, gloves and was freezing before we got back, I slipped on a pair of loafers and went in my short sleeve T-shirt, it felt wonderful lol.

They say opposites attract.

Dang lost on a faulty technicality, haha

You misspelled "score fixing by an enemy of Tom".  (all starting to make sense now)

I’m glaring dubiously at the IAD and BWI measures…

Both erroneous,  I can tell right now. (Their reputation precedes them)

0.5" in Anne Arundel. 

6 flakes landed on my windshield waiting at the red light in Annapolis. (A few more flurries when I parked at work.)

Just plain light rain in Annapolis, (even though we've been on flurry watch)

edit: sleet mixed in for a bit now; and maybe a few flakes.

Foggiest I've seen in a long while here in AACo. Drove 6 miles and back this evening and had to be more watchful than usual for deer/critters.

Nov total 2.92"

Highest temp 75. Lowest 22

The Great Lakes Freezing Over that's a funny one.  When was the last time the Great Lakes Froze over all of them?

Never (in satellite era). This is not too shabby 2014. (2015 about the same):

22 low

eta:  the tidal South River was shockingly frozen about 1/3, I estimate. I expected only some skim ice on the periphery. 

Well here ya go Nov snow lovers...

FDK and others also, but not IAD or DCA (as far as I could see)

Take note that DCA went 2 f lower than BWI

Reached a low of 27 after midnight,  but climbed to about 32 by dawn.

No evidence of snowfall here. 

.24" so far

My morning low has already been beaten by 1, and clear sky with 25 DP tells me it will be lower by midnight.

Currently 28/25

Low 29.

... I do better at this further north and always have trouble processing how difficult it can be to get all factors to converge for snow south of 40N. ...

 

I've had visitors here in winter that also expect us to get more snow than we do. But my friend from coastal Maine, who always hated their weather, described winter as a week of below zero temps followed by a warm up and rain. He's just described winter on much of the East coast; (adjusted for temp).

anyone still planning to mow this year?

Mowed Sunday, (partly to get some bags of leaf mulch). At the time, I was pretty sure I'd have another cutting on the South facing slope at least, but after 2+" of rain I'll have to re-evaluate.

In fact, this morning the whole neighborhood was a big mess of wet leaves.

Storm total 2.4"

1.31 at obs time, still raining.

Saw this posted on twitter though I'm not familiar with this gentleman. Relevant to the current pattern or just gas?

 

I think that chart is wrong for 1987, when we only had 31".

Eta : I get closer to 24 than 26, so the basic idea is true. Interesting.

I was just over 60” in 13-14 and I’m like <10 miles from BWI. 

Yeah but you know how to work a measuring stick.

I took the average of my analogs and adjusted down slightly to account for warming.  The numbers are what they are.  

With one of the analogs being the highest in the POR, (2010) I would be tempted to remove the highest and lowest before averaging. (Unfortunately, that would leave only 2 years) Just a thought.

ETA: I did the average by this method and it came out 21.8" vs 35.0". Hmmm

33 low.  But I was surprised at the amount of frost, especially on roofs up the street. Downright heavy.

That is a high bar. They seem to go on for decades.
