    Snowing here now 1/2 mile NW of Vienna - at 40F (was 46 30 mins ago). We don't get that very often around here.

    Cold air inbound - it's 19F now at Garrett Co. Airport. Hard to see a warm nose survive the inbound air mass, but we are DC so anything is possible.

    Thanks for the pop Randy - anything is something, which is more than most of us have gotten for 2 years. Bring er home!

    Once again this week NOAA has more colors on their national map than a box of 64 Crayola... https://www.weather.gov (64 Crayola was what ever lad in elementary wanted when I was a young-in)

    I'm reading it as... the warmer the SST's (Sea Surface Temps) the moisture for the L to tap into, which the arctic air on our side of the front will wring out as sn+

    Just about finished here... .96" for the day and temp stayed at 36 +/- 1 degree all day. If only...

    Damn... .73" of rain so far and still at 36F. If only...

    Someone has a new avatar - haha

    36 and light rn here NW of Vienna - good luck to those to the NW....

    Yup - I had hopes you'd get at least some mood flakes on the front end too. Regrets.

    Was at 29 when I went to bed at 0300 - 33 now. Blah. Had hopes for at least a dusting on the front end but per the norm around here the only color outside is brown. When caveats started getting into the discussion a week ago, it reminded me of our motto for these parts "when everything has to be perfect to get SN, if one variable is out of whack our chances to score are significantly reduced". Good luck to the NW crew, hope you score something.

    Temp up from 27 to 29 in the last 90 mins.

    Yes - a fairly thick band too. https://www.windy.com/-Show---add-more-layers/overlays?satellite,37.983,-77.695,7,m:eHJaelN

    Down to 26 with a 22dp. May drop a couple more degrees, but not much. Winds are shifting shifting around already. Hope to get something on the front end before the mid lvl warm fetch scours out the cold. Going to be depressing with temps in the low to mid 30's with rain.

    32/23dp here. Never got above 38 today here.

    NWS posted a large swath of notices from Fredericksburg South for Hazardous Weather Outlook for Fri night/Sat. Somewhat odd - nothing N of that.

    If sheer willpower was an applicable variable we'd skip over HECS and go straight for a BECS on this one. The forum needs it in the worse way.

    That winter has special meaning. The first snow in Dec was on my birthday, 2 weeks after we moved into our new home after returning to the US from 3 years in Thailand and Afghanistan. It don't snow much in Thailand! Was the best welcome home/birthday present ever!

    Good memories H2O. I joined Eastern early on - iirc it was late 99 or around 2000. But that was long ago. Recall reading about some of the snows in the WMA when living in Germany and then Thailand later, where we didn't get much snow. Was on some other forum/read board before that but don't recall the names. Joined the first one in 96 while living in Japan. I typically read more and post less out of reverence for those with more expertise, to whom I'm grateful for the knowledge transfer over the years.

    There's a couple other members here who lived through it too. One of them sent me info about a book on the Blizzard of 78. It's a great read for anyone here from several perspectives. The meteorological elements that formed the intensification so rapidly and the human element of the impact on society, and how people pulled together to help each other out. Happy to provide the info on the book if there's interest. Mods - regrets if this is clogging things up.

    Lowest measured in 78 was 955.5 - measured after it crossed into Canada. Was 956 in MI and slightly higher in Ohio/Indiana (its track was nearly due North). It was a surreal experience I'll never forget. If we get something like that here in the DELMARVA in today's environment, the results would be devastating. People back in the 70's were more independent and able to cope.

    Should have added the caveat the LP was one of the top 5 recorded in N America - extratropical.
