Snow showers here now.

What's the unofficial number so I can be thoroughly humiliated?

Yep. That was around the time as one of those storms on last night's Cfs I posted earlier today. That 700mb RH map is wonderfully savory.

Don't you just hate those people that say "I sure wish the Gfs went out beyond 384 hrs?"

I have been on the western edge of it all day with snow since before 8am. But thanks to a spike in temps during light lulls, it warmed to 34 so I have snow on the grass but not 100% coverage. Still missing a real accumulation this year. But, light snow continues as the end is very near and it remains beautiful and festive for the season.

Probably should include the -PDO along with everything else.

Lol! Ain't that the truth.

Se here. No accumulations in the grass around Eisenhower due to traffic heat I suppose. But grass has an accumulation once into residential areas.

You mean right before the 664 tunnel on the right as head are heading down? Always big piles there.

Snowing at about 1 mile vis. Everything whitener. The end is not far off unfortunately.

Don't look now, but our vaunted incoming torch pattern is looking more like a whimper. Yeah, it'll be AN some, but most of the warmth gets stuck in Canada. But that reloads fast on modeling for some adequate, if not, decent cold in January. All we'll need is precip. Last night's CFS snow depth map as they don't offer CFS snowfall maps on Pivotal for some darn reason. Hopefully, not pay walled. https://www.pivotalweather.com/model.php?m=cfs&p=snod-imp&rh=2024122000&fh=loop&r=conus&dpdt=&mc=&pwplus=1

Interesting precip movements around DCA/BWI. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/?parms=LWX-N0B-1-24-100-usa-rad

Nothing to hate here in ENE. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/?parms=DIX-N0B-1-24-100-usa-rad

3k. Further north. Still snowing some in Maine.

3k. It's done. Congrats x 2.

3k and not quite over yet. Congrats

My parents were from Wilkes-Barre. As a child (mid-late 60's), we would visit may father's parents and I still remember the piles of coal in the basement. But they used coal for both heating and cooking. I just assumed that coal usage for cooking AND heating was a thing of the past.

This may sound naive, but I'm surprised to hear coal furnaces are still in use. And I thought I was on TCC's shift list.

Surprisingly NOT melting on contact for once this year.

I should add that if you go back to previous days forecasts, progged westerlies have strengthened and easterlies weaker. https://charts.ecmwf.int/products/mofc_multi_mjo_family_time_longitudes?base_time=202412190000&filter=no&parameter=zonal wind 850 hPa

The Euro depicts westerlies across 1 thru 4 though.

Except trades take a break when westerlies take over for a few weeks, so that will...ready for this..."constructively interfere" with the Nina. How well the Niña recovers is unknown since the intensity and duration of the westerlies is still just a computer prog.
