12/2 Cold Rain and High Elevation Snow

[WxUSAF]

Hoping for at least first flakes if not a slushy dusting that gets washed away 

[LeesburgWx]

Looks like a Loudoun County and North and west storm. After last year, I forgot these existed

FWIW

I’m gonna go with, “we need the rain”

This will be the 20th winter I’ve lived in the eastern panhandle of WV. In that time, I’ve had one accumulating snow during the first week of December:  12/6/2009 with 2.9”.

Maybe we can do a 12/8/13 repeat.

I mistakenly loaded the Euro AI totals for the 360hr run, so I deleted it. Here are the 0z and 6z for just Tuesday.

Seems a wee bit aggressive for so early in the season in light of the se'ly flow.

[bncho]

the 6z Euro is SO close for the metros. it would only take like 20 miles for them to stay. all snow. still 80 hours out...

[bncho]

the euro has kinda trended like 10 miles south each run since yesterday. maybe i'm hallucinating but we maybe have a shot?

Yeah that's not happening, esp from the Fall line east. If I am up early enough maybe I will see a few mangled flakes before it turns to rain.

EPS believes we still have a chance... 6z median

@Interstatementioned 12/8/13.  That was the second-earliest December snow in my years here, at 8”.  
That winter turned out ok too.
