The Monday wintry event potential (12/8/25)

[EarlGrey]

At least this year won’t be a 0 again!

 

got an imperial stout and the fireplace on watching it fall in the lights.

IF you look at the radar this band is building NE to SW generally. I almost wonder if Kerr Lake is involved.

For the record regarding the main indices for today’s wintry event:

- The prior -PNA rose to the more favorable neutral PNA (-0.1)

- AO -1.9, one day after a short-term minimum of -2.2 was hit

- NAO -1.2, one day after a short-term minimum of -1.3 was hit

- MJO likely was inside the circle phase 8 (probably won’t know for sure for a couple of days)

- +EPO

- -WPO

Regardless of the other indicies, the -AO  is always the savior for us. Many times over, when it dips down good things always happen around here. Pattern suppression for the win.

Looks like it is now rotting out but ended up with 0.3 or so here.

At 9:31 PM EST, 1 ENE South Norfolk [City Of Chesapeake Co, VA] Public reports Snow of 1.00 Inch.

Still snowing. Looks close to 0.5” here. Great comeback from where we were at about 5:00. Beautiful out, just took a walk enjoying the cold, snow and Christmas lights around the neighborhood. Roads icing up, going to be terrible in morning. Like I said, still snowing at the moment and looks like continuing light snow for a while

Are you talking about North Hills area? If so, that’s a little better than Leesville.

6 inches in lower York County, VA.

At 10:20 PM EST, Wake Forest [Wake Co, NC] Public reports Snow of 0.80 Inch

[NorthHillsWx]

Id be willing to say Louisburg has at least an inch judging by my trail cams. Possibly more…

I remember the days when I was looking forward to 4/10th of an inch of snow.

Definitely over estimated the amount of snow on the ground last night. Measured just 0.30” this morning, I’ll blame first snow excitement lol. 26.8 out and very pretty regardless. Southern Va got a serious jackpot, swath of 6-8” from the mountains to the coast. Great storm gor them

It looked like more than that with your video and looks more impressive than ours. We have a ground cover just about 4 miles N/NE of RDU. I would say 0.25-.3 looks about right for our area. I wonder what RDU was officially? I haven’t checked.

It’s possible it was a little more last night but I didn’t measure. Most everything non paved is covered so it’s really pretty regardless

That would explain the slightly higher totals Raleigh through Franklin county. Raleigh proper definitely got more than the airport and lake

This is perfect and definitely shows what occurred. We have seen this type of backside enhancement before and it was being shown on the NAM 3k. Appreciate this SUNY.

Yep Raleigh downtown and east definitely did better than the airport. I wish there was a downtown climo station.

It was obvious when they were showing live shots last night. Raleigh proper and points SE have been in a rip off zone relative to RDU/ north for a good while so good for them.

This sort of reminds me on a lesser scale of the Christmas night 2010ish storm (albeit completely different synoptic situation) where Raleigh proper scored big versus RDU/Bull City.

Some places in southern Va have hit their climo average before December 10

We received 5.5 inches here just 2.5 miles northeast of Rocky Mount Virginia. Currently sitting at 10 inches total for the two storms. Ive got a gut feeling that forecast will be revised for the winter season. Congratulations to all who cashed in on this system.
