McLean, VA 2025-26 Snowfall
TOTAL: 14.1"

November: T
11/12: T | Stayed up late hoping for something more substantial, but there were still some light flurries.
11/30: T | Morning snow/sleet mix changed to rain.

December: 3.7"
12/5-6: 2.2" | The return of the mythical December 5th snowstorm. It brought extreme cold for early-December, with my high of 29. Included a nice little round two starting at 10 PM, not finishing until around 1 AM. R1: 1.9", R2: 0.3"
12/11: T | Scattered flurries in the morning.
12/14: 1.5" | A busted forecast (from 2-4"). 0.25" QPF fell as 1.5"—awful ratios.

January: 10.4"
1/1: 0.1" | An early morning snow squall with strong winds.
1/17: 0.1" | A morning burst of snow accumulated to a dusting.
1/18: T | Three hours of afternoon flurries translated to a trace. The mulch was slightly whitened, though.
1/24-25: 10.2" | An awesome storm. Strong 5.9" thump followed by 10 hours of heavy sleet, which totaled 4.2". Snowiest winter storm since 2019; most impactful since 2016.
