Talk about temperature busts, most tv Mets were calling for upper 50s on Christmas, looks a lot cooler on WB 0Z 3K NAM.

Not sure what the forecast vs actuals have been up that way, but NWS has busted high 4-8 degrees most of the week here.

Your in top form @CAPE. Appreciate the updates.  Not posting as much because I have suffered medical issues and surgery, but your posts cheer me up every morning. 

I am really hopeful for snowfall in early Jan. Things looking better and better.  

Hope you have a full recovery!

Yes, but that’s a low bar.

I meant exceeding everything since is a very low bar. Jan 22 was very good.

LOL. Glad you explained that, my thought was 'almost 16" of snow and a -3.5 temp dif is a low bar'?? 

EDIT, those were MY numbers.

P14 or bust 

IDK, I'd not toss p03 out...

21 degrees on the nose here this morning with clear skies. Yesterday topped out at 44.1 degrees. 

Low was 17.2 here this morning. Currently 17.5/14.2. 

Ah! THIS is so much better! Feels like winters of past. Had several rounds of flurries, snow showers and even a squall move thru yesterday late afternoon and evening. The old classic snow/melt/snow/melt.... anyway, deepest accumulation was only 0.3 inches around 10 pm. Had 0.2 with the first (and heaviest) burst around 5 pm that melted away 30 minutes later. 75% of it is gone/blown away/sublimated/evaporated with the wind and whatnot with corners having a good 1/2 inch and others bare, but I'll take it  Currently 26.5/16.6 with a WNW wind at 7 gusting to 26 mph under cloudy skies with a flurry or two streaking by in the wind. 

Officially on the board (literally, lol)!

12/19  0.3

Happy Anniversary, mappy! Enjoy. None of us will ever forget your wedding day...

Yep, THAT is one way to make sure hubby (and the rest of us) doesn't forget the date! 

Well, that was a fun 15 minutes lol. Looks like a chance of another one or two later per radar. I got 0.2 on a measurement just as it stopped, on the board!!

Wow, just like that, down to 34.9/28.3.....

Skies just opened up here, pouring snow. Everything but the roads white immediately. 37.8/28.4 Not sure how long it will last, but looks super right now.

Only 0.41 when I dumped the CoCoRaHS this morning. SHARP cutoff from I-81 west on the rain totals. But the WIND is roaring lol. Stuck at 40-42 all day and night until around 1 am, then it spiked to a 47 high before starting to fall and the winds began to crank. 'Shoe and Canaan have already went to snow, along with the Rt 250 camera in Highland Co. Currently 39.9/34.3 and falling with a NW wind at 14 gusting to 27 mph. MAYBE the flakes make it here later???

I just created r/mid_atlantic_wx as a private community.

I’m honestly not a big Reddit contributor, though I read it a lot. Figured it can’t hurt to create that sub just in case things somehow go TU here.

What's a Reddit?? Is there a Bluedit or Greendit? Just asking....

Just waiting for the rain here. Currently 39.5/32.1. Temps fell into low 30's around midnight but been slowly creeping up since.

I still have a final cut to do!

Ditto! More a 'get those last leaves up and out', but needs done.

How far is everyone willing to travel? Columbia has a recently opened taproom (Cushwa) that has a separate room and pizza. If anyone was up for it, maybe we could meet up between Christmas and New Years.

Not a drinker, but definitely would enjoy seeing everyone again!

22.2 for the low here, currently 32.3/23.2 at 9:30 am.

I miss the old fashioned 2-4" 3-6" snows don't get me wrong i love the big dogs but a couple of 3" storms would go a long way for morale around here I bet.

^^ This 100% ^^

22.7 for the low here, and current temp. B pressure is sky high at 30.70.

Just to clarify, I wasn’t trying to say we are in an arctic blast good winter weather pattern, but rather that all the doom and gloom torch comments based on weeklies hasn’t panned out here at least.  My area is only about 2 degrees higher than the December average and we haven’t made it yet to the second half of the month which tends to be colder than the first half obviously.  
 

In the end, I think there is a decent to good chance that December ends up being very very similar to previous Decembers wrt average temps here in Augusta County.  Admittedly, I don’t follow metro temps closely, but given the latest guidance from the ops I would not be surprised to see DCA within a degree of normal when averaged at the end of the month.  Time will tell.

 

Agree. Running a +2.6 for the month here so far. Blazing? No. Will it stay above normal by the end of the month? Maybe. Is it better than the record breaking +10.3 from Dec 2015, absolutely. 

So wife and I walked up to the mailbox together about 15 minutes ago (about 300 steps each way). 33 degrees, she put on a coat, scarf, gloves and was freezing before we got back, I slipped on a pair of loafers and went in my short sleeve T-shirt, it felt wonderful lol.
