Graupel now in this little shower in Randolph. Wind kicking up again too.

Wife is reporting graupel falling at home.

Just PC and breezy here, so far.   One of the passing clouds might yet toss a handful.
Forecast 1/4" to 1/2" came in at 0.14" (which included the <0.1" progged for the daytime.)

Pretty cool looking!

Consensus is, that's the exhaust plume from the European Space Agency's Ariane 6 rocket (launched at Kourou, French Guiana).

Actually managed a few real flakes for about 10 seconds.

Yup. I could see the snow curtains approaching here from the NW before it hit.

DCA average is 13.7".  I hope your last 5 were a bit better than that, even if way below the average there.

Not by much lol.

Breezy is a good way to describe it, it's nothing like the other day.

Have to check the stratus but it was 0.11" thru the tipper.

[weathafella]

Yeah the wind advisory was a bit of a bust here though it gusted overnight for a short time as the front blew through.  We continue to step.  

[dryslot]

Looks like a gust of 39 mph at the house today, Winds always seem to under perform unless it involves convection.

The buildup of snow in Eastern Canada is good thing going forward

Regression is a bitch. You had Stow VT climo there’s for a decade before that…overachieving on every snow event constantly…it was bound to happen. And it did.   You’ll climb your way back in time. 

Eh, it’s been a decade since those times, and we’ve paid for it dearly. The last 5 have been truly awful, but the 5 after 2015 weren’t great in the aggregate either.

 

my main point stands. Early season snowfall is becoming increasingly difficult to come by. For reference, it’s been 14 years since we’ve had a white Christmas here, and I expect that to continue

Truthfully, it hasn’t been much better than that lol. I stopped keeping track like I used to, but the last 5 seasons I’d guess we’ve averaged around 15-17” maybe? And that’s heavily skewed by the 3 feet in Jan 22

Graupel/rain showers south of town currently refracting beams of sunlight just outside the office

That is blatantly not true. You get years where you get early season snowfall.  October ‘11. November of ‘12 November of ‘18. December of ‘19. October of ‘20. The list goes on. And you go years where you don’t. Period. When I was a young kid the winters were horrific..then they got real good. Then they got horrific again…you roll with the changes.

The difference is…for us/you those years are horrid.  For DC those are good winters lol. It’s perspective. You’ll do fine this year. 

[powderfreak]

Ended up with 2-3” at 1500ft and 7-8” above 3,000ft.

Snow depth around 14” up top.
