Snow started here an hour ago. 

Nontreated surfaces have a coating currently.  Looks winter-like.  27 F.

UVA's chemistry department's amazing decision to make our group exam online over zoom is currently going great. 1. No one knows which group to go in 2. No one is able to access the questions 3. No one knows how to submit them. Meanwhile I am watching snow fall outside my window this is cruel 

1.) Go to the smartest group

2.) Means easy A

3.) I don't know

Let's hope this is a tasty appetizer event to a memorable '25-'26 snow season!

Back to being a snow globe in DC. Need to downscale some pics but nice jebwalk. Now to defrost and see if I can WFH the rest of the day…

The steady flurries are coating the surfaces in Fallston / it’s pretty. At least not fully shut out. Official dusting. 

Dusting in Havre de Grace too. Temp down to 26°

First flakes!

[Scraff]

Feeling this little mini Moco-Hoco death band. Love it! When’s our real threat window though?

Popping in, at the hospital now. Just waiting for them to get the baby out. 

They did not treat the roads, so I drove us through the snow. Already had 1” on the ground and the roads were completely covered, and was coming down at a moderate clip. Everything was white. But we made it, and so did the surgeon.

As soon as the WWA was cancelled over Loudoun county, that band came up and just sat over us.

Wishing you and family the best! You'll have to pick a 'snowy' type name for the baby!

Yea it's uncanny how many times that MD 26 to I-70 zone is the cutoff for so many winter events.

It's been wild lately.  I got about 10" total last winter in Germantown while relatives in Calvert got like 20-25; I think you all got even less than me?  Southern MD also got a real big one a couple years ago that we missed.  It seems like a new climo where rain/snow line is way NW of where it used to be, and then you miss the southern sliders and coastal scrapers.

Nice event!

Not Reebok?

DCA might hit December climo with this storm.

Northern Counties Forcefield is up...

This is why it's so hard for me to believe this has just been bad luck. How does something set up in the exact same place this many times in 8 years?

Best wishes!! A Dec 5th snow baby...your snow weenie friends approve 

Immediate powder dusting here.

Friend just measured 1.7" on his snowboard in Leesburg. Final band might push it to 2?

[Jrlg1181]

Exactly 3.5 on the back deck - A very solid start to winter..

Hey hey! No cheating with a snowflake pattern on your clothes! Juicing your flake count--DISQUALIFIED!!

December climo these days is 0” so I’d say probably

Yea, the last few frames of the radar you can see the back edge drifting east. I think the inner suburbs have about an hour's worth of snow left. Still, this is a great event!

You all have been winning the war the last 8 years, tbh...but we oughta turn it around eventually I hope. This has been a historically odd stretch

Moderate-heavy huge dendrites falling from the sky. MAYBE I’ll eke out 2.5-3”.

[ThePhotoGuy]

Pretty snowy morning. 26.4 degrees. 

[weatherCCB]

Steady light sometimes moderate snow continues 

1” at least

27

[LeesburgWx]

Still going strong in Loudoun. Finally ended up under a band that lasted the entire storm. Been a while 

[Eskimo Joe]

Maybe some back building on radar towards Petersburg, WV?

[RevWarReenactor]

Dusting here just south of  Newark Delaware. Its really nice. Got this one in by the skin of my teeth. 10 miles north of here and nothing.
