It’s on Frontogenesis. Everyone’s doing it!

I did later check that and the 850mb lift is pretty crazy. Though I guess it could be onto something with the cold air press from the north? I don't quite have enough skill to understand it yet though. Either way the soundings for Cville as it snows has a pretty large and 90% RH DGZ layer with lift so I should see some nice flakes. Though lmao

What the hell is the 12k 18z NAM on because if I get even half this total I will follow @Terpeast and eat a shoe

Careful! @Terpeast said that and ended up with a kid!

All said, that is one heck of a sharp cut-off both north and south. I don't see that robust of a snowfall, cut these in half and I think it is good. And if it does this, guess I'll join you on the shoe deal lol.

Done, please pin it!

Temp is 33 and steady (if light) snow. Not amounting to much given the marginal temps, but it sure beats 38 and rain. Maybe some of this energy makes it over the hills?

[Weather Will]

Cold December day.  Ice forming on ponds.  Reminds me of the 70s.

[katabatic]

I can see why the snow is having trouble finding its way north. My DP at 7 AM was 21. Now, it's a whopping 2. Talk about a beat down. 

[WVclimo]

Overcast and 28/3 with a N wind at 13 G23.  Coldest day of the winter so far.

[Kay]

High 34 today, currently 30/6.

From 1958 thru 1971, the core of most of my childhood, the ponds  froze most  every winter, we skated  and sledded plenty. I can remember only two winters that did not deliver  like that.

And i thought i was old.

Feels like Deep Winter (TM) in Silver Spring. Heavy overcast, 30 degrees, 7 degree dew point, sometimes a bit of wind. Cold!

[dallen7908]

... and very dark.  Likely the darkest it'll be at this time of day all year. 

[Interstate]

25.7/6.8 here in 21057.  It is going to be a cold one tonight

 

[WEATHER53]

Early morning high of 35 then down to 32/33 for rest of day .  Coldest high of year and my midnight low of 28 likely  gets beaten. 

[North Balti Zen]

16 degrees in Fallston at 5 am.

[Jebman]

It's getting refreshingly cool down here. It is about 29 degrees, 26 dewpoint at 4.28am Texas time. This is our 1st official low in the 20s lol.

NWS hoisted a FREEZE WARNING for lows near 30.

This may be a Nina, but I have a feeling about this winter, especially in the East. Particularly the Mid Atlantic.

[poolz1]

First single digit temp of the season. Currently 9.6/5 wish we had some snow cover up this way.

[mitchnick]

Closest Wunderground station to mby at 8.

[mappy]

My station stopped reporting at 330 this morning, was 11° then. 

[CAPE]

16

Ridgely Mesonet currently 14

[diatae]

A crisp 19 here 

[WVclimo]

10° is my low so far.

[SnowtoRain]

17.4

[HighStakes]

8 is the low so far. 

[WxUSAF]

12-14 as the low depending on which PWS I look at.

[H2O]

16.4 when I got up an hour ago

[adelphi_sky]

Is that a snow shower I see on radar in Fairfax?

 

Edit: Could it be fog?

[weatherCCB]

14 here
