Looks like the final will be .5” on the dot measured in Havre de Grace. Honestly the way it was looking last night I’m pleasantly surprised.

Came here to post exactly this. Also on the dot.

[PrinceFrederickWx]

Measured 1.5" (on the board, not on the crab lol)

I don’t think the precip gets out of here as early as 9-11am.  Probably lingers through mid  afternoon 

This came true also as the orientation if the high did not squash things south but rather allowed a ene move and the precip could not rush out 

12/5 looked good from few days before Thanksgiving so onto the next analog prediction of 12/20-12/21 and maybe more before then but I don’t have that analog wise-no strong signal like 12/5.

lol might have to look for that inflatable

[dailylurker]

Wow! Back to moderate snow. I'll be recording 2+ inches here soon.

It's not an inflatable, its metal wires filled with LED lights. My wife bought it at Walmart last year. I'm gonna take some pics tonight of it lit up (assuming the kids don't knock the snow off it lol)

Merry Christmas! About 3" here in Charlottesville!

I got 1.5” on my balcony. Assuming that’s final total though hoping the flurries stick around a bit longer.

@NorthArlington101Hope this suffices for my UVA pictures from this morning 

 

Oh my goodness man...shall they add photography to your future tag? These pictures are absolutely incredible!

[WxUSAF]

PG and AA county spotters majorly slacking today. Got to be at least 1.5” in Greenbelt and wouldn’t be surprised if a proper snowboard measurement earlier would have been near 2”. I’m sure BWI will wait for it to melt before measuring.

[Eskimo Joe]

St. Mary's County is the winner in Maryland. M2.2" Lexington Park.

[bncho]

Dad measured 1.9", probably the final total but there is still some light snow around. Great start to the winter season.

[JenkinsJinkies]

If DC, VA, and Southern MD did this well this early then statistically the rest of us shouldn't be left out this season...

[notvirga!]

Wonder if anywhere in Virginia picked up more than 4 inches 

[H2O]

1.8” and just flurries now.  But this is just so nice to have. Zero complaints and thankful for what fell. 

[WEATHER53]

Up to 1.75”

Someone posted a 5” OBS above

Confirmed...(if we count the bed of our truck ). Close to 2.0 in Annapolis

Final total is 2.5” down here near Hartwood in Stafford County. Very nice start to the season, and December Snow is always a win!

Numerous spots 

[The Dude]

Looks like we'll end up with about 1.8" here in N. Bethesda.  Happy to be on the board so early!

[WesternFringe]

Measured 3.3” an hour or two ago. Still lightly snowing and 32° here northwest of Staunton in Augusta County.

Did you get your wood taken care of?

[baltosquid]

Fizzle job in the city tbh. Maybe on an idealized surface, could get a few tenths of an inch, otherwise trace.

[CAPE]

Obligatory cabin snow pic. Still quite a few leaves under that snow. I been slacking lately.

This takes slant sticking to a completely different level!

Welp, we got snow on Dec. 5 in 2002 and 2009 and those winters turned out pretty good 

And look at some of the winters ending in a 6:  1966, 1996, 2016...

A Dec 5th snow means a very good snow year! This is only the beginning! The winter will remember December!
