2002-2003 had 40.4" of snowfall -- but that was punctuated with the big Feb 2003 snowstorm
1955-1956 was a crappy winter at DCA... 11.3" of snowfall
1961-1962 was an average winter... snow was spread out over Dec-March for a total of 15.0" (Nov 1961 had 1.3" of snow)
Snowfall records found here -- https://www.weather.gov/media/lwx/climate/dcasnow.pdf
Really think that time period (Dec 16-19) is going to be our first real threat around here
ETA: Actually, is it just me... or did the 00z GFS OP run at the end look like a train of threats headed our direction?
A decent event appears near the end of the 18z GFS run... probably going to be our first real threat of the season if what the EPS/GEFS are suggesting that we have we actually have
I see @Midlo Snow Maker in the main Dec thread! Hi Midlo! I have some of your gifs that you made saved still on my computer... I hope that I will be able to use them this winter
I could care less if Ji wants to complain... as long as he does it in the right thread. I have sort of become numb to his complaints and just pass on his posts to be honest

...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY EVENING THROUGH
SUNDAY MORNING...
* WHAT...Significant icing possible with the potential for ice
accumulations around one-quarter inch.
* WHERE... Portions of western Maryland and the Potomac Highlands
in West Virginia.
* WHEN...From Saturday evening through Sunday morning. Freezing
rain is most likely Saturday night.
* IMPACTS...Power outages and tree damage are possible due to the
ice. Travel may be dangerous.
They just might though... if they can get past the next two games (@HOU and vs KC)... they should win out -- they would have the Bengals, Dolphins, and Bills left. Bills have the defense, but not the offense to stay with the Pats
Problem this go around is the mountains per the 12z GFS eat up all the precip and barely gets even flurries over to us... not sure it would happen that way but its what it shows even with the powerful ULL moving through us
