Today’s 12z run is gonna be the most important run since the winter solstice.
-
We're generally much better at precip than cold. DCA averages over 8 inches of precip in the winter...if we had the temps on our side, we might actually get bored of snow lol.

I’m not jealous.

I'm jealous.

Breaks in the clouds down in Central VA, so it's real real lol. Pivot might keep areas north/east socked into clouds, though. https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G16§or=ne&band=02&length=12

This would be my 4th snow event this winter. We might be teeing up for a January MECS at this point.
-
lol, can’t believe it’s raining in some parts of dc. Would have expected snow from this batch. Still managing flakes up here..:though it’s now just flurries.
-
Actually a very healthy flake size. Struggling to accumulate, but jeep soft tops, etc. are caving a bit. Too bad it's not lasting longer.
-
Yea, it's a steady snow here with respectable dendrites.
-
Snow shower on my doorstep. Looking foggy to the west.
-
I'm in. This weather is getting boring lol

09/10 was a fluke with blocking starting by early to mid-Fall and several east coast systems already hitting "the wall". It was only a matter of time before it snowed in that pattern. Imo, this winter is showing its hand pretty early as a potentially "run of the mill" winter. I've already had a couple of snow events, but as typical in December, nothing to go 4 wheeling in. It's been cold at times and mild at times, but nothing extreme.
-
It is kinda wild, though, that in 3 months it’ll be March Madness. Relying on backloaded winters is risky business. It’ll be go time soon.
-
The 2nd and 3rd Jan '22 snowstorms were cool, but the first one that gave Cabin John several inches and Frederick several flakes made me question my post count (even more than I already do).
-
I don't mind nuisance snow early in the season (like now), but after a few of them it's go time. It also depends on whether it's a holiday...1-2" on Chrismukkah or NYE would be cool.
-
I'm beginning to wonder if the STJ even exists anymore. The lack of a consistent southern stream or fetch of moisture from the GOM is actually starting to get a little weird.
-
Went through my archives…Feb 16, 2015…that was a low qpf producer. Those were smaller flakes, though. I don’t know how I remember this stuff lol
-
We had a clipper that season that dropped several inches of snow in single digits temps, I think. Might have been 20:1 ratios. Somewhat similar to the low qpf high performer several years ago.
-
I’ll never forget my hs ski trip to killington that winter. Couldn’t even ski one of the days. Way below zero wind chills. Haven’t experienced cold like that since.
-
I'm actually getting paper-like cuts on my fingertips from playing too much basketball in the cold. This happened a couple years ago, too, which ended up being a better winter in Frederick. I might start using this as an early season sign...like the snowy owl appearances.
-
Feels like early spring outside.
-
Looks more like differences in timing than pattern.
-
Looks like the gulf is closed for business for the late week clipper systems: https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=gfs®ion=us&pkg=midRH&runtime=2024121612&fh=102

You must be new here.

Decent several hour event here, just a couple degrees too warm to be a big deal. 2nd legitimate light snow event this season. We've performed worse.
