I’m so excited- I have waited eight long years for a December storm!

Based on this updated LWX map I'd have to assume St. Mary's (and possibly Calvert) will be upgraded to WSW later this evening.

Snow has started here.

Get a load of this guy:

I went too low for SBY in the snowfall contest- Salisbury is clearly a snow town now.

It's happening again! lol

We've gotta be into some kind of long-term December futility record for this decade at the airports, but I haven't checked. I just want some snow in December- I'm not even asking for a 2009, I just want a goddamn climo 2-4" in December at this point!

Last summer was near-normal until late July, which kicked off the blowtorch that basically lasted until May this year (with a brief interruption in March). But I agree- this summer, while above-average temp-wise, hasn't been impressive in the Big Heat dept.

April finished 60.3 at BWI, which was 2nd hottest. The hottest was 1941 at 60.4, so we just missed it by a tenth of a degree! 4th hottest January-April, here's the top four: 1) 1921: 47.3 2) 2012: 47.2 3) 1949: 47.0 4) 2017: 46.9

Something interesting I noticed: starting with 2009, every April at BWI has broken or tied at least one record high or high minimum. This might be a top ten hottest April too. Record high watch for this Saturday. I wonder where the year will rank so far after this month is over (I promise I won't screw it up this time! lol)

Yikes- I rechecked and it appears I made a mistake in the spreadsheet. Yeah, BWI is currently ranked 10th hottest. Thanks for the heads up.

March at BWI finished at 43.9 degrees which is a +0.3 departure. March did finish colder than February, but only by 0.3 degrees (43.9 vs 44.2). March did finish warmer than December and January though. This March, for the time being, destroyed any chance of getting a top ten hottest year- we’re way, way down on the list now.

Yeah I got 0.5", which is just as much as I got in the big Pi Day "storm"... lol

Back end fun? I've never seen LWX split Calvert for a WWA but they just did, with my area being right around the cutoff. I can't imagine 1-2" being able to stick at this point though.

Woke up to heavy rain that washed the sleet away. What a turd. At least its fixed the drought (1.62" total QPF and counting)

0.5" of sleet lol

45/18 LWX adjusted down to 1-2" for most of Southern MD which is far more reasonable.

Lol @ 0z Euro- its starting! Also someone needs to explain to LWX that guidance says I'm not getting 2-4"- not even close.

Here you go: March colder than February (7 instances + 1 tie): 1883 (tied), 1887, 1890, 1891, 1909, 1932, 1960, 1984 March colder than January (11 instances): 1876, 1880, 1890, 1906, 1916, 1932, 1933, 1937, 1947, 1950, 1960 March colder than previous December (19 instances): 1885, 1890, 1892, 1896, 1906, 1912, 1914, 1924, 1932, 1940, 1941, 1947, 1950, 1957, 1960, 1972, 2013, 2014, 2015 Surprisingly, 2016 didn’t make the list here- even though December 2015 was the hottest December ever, March 2016 was also 6th hottest March. March colder than all three (3 instances): 1890, 1932, 1960 A few things struck me as interesting- first, it's happened more times in January vs. February, despite February having a higher average temperature. Second, it wasn’t too unusual for March to be colder than January before 1960, then it suddenly stopped happening. Third, our recent December futility/torches are apparent here.

I'm not home right now but I'll look into it for BWI and get back to you. I'm curious myself now.

I love in the main thread when people post stuff like "great run for all of us!" Some of those people really live in a bubble lol

I think you might be right on this- Wednesday might produce more for us. I was looking at it again.

I hope the whole storm fails for everyone. "Cause I'm petty! And my family's petty too!" -Dave Chappelle

About the only thing I'd be interested in seeing is the next run of the CMC. 12z was the only run of any model that got me anything more than a nuisance event.

Trust me they couldn't care less if we rain as long they're getting their 12-18" or whatever. Lol
