12/14: Sunday funday? Will the south win again?

[SnowtoRain]

Measured 1.5 to 2.0" at various locations, so I'll go with 2.0" for easy mental math. 4.0" total for December.

Tomorrow morning commute should be fun. Lows in mid teens tonight. It will be a glacier out there.

Then up to Parrs Ridge and east I think. 

Yup. Elevation folks scored a major victory with this one.

[katabatic]

It’s now 9.3 degrees. This was a tough measure, but am going with 13.1”. Light snow continues with now a definite wind chill to deal with. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

[T. August]

SE PA got smoked. 7-8”

[Herb@MAWS]

Columbia east:  Just did driveway, walkways and cars. Was nice having a light snowfall to practice on in prep for the real deal(s) — (hopefully after New Years). Sunday morning temps:

5:30am: 32.4

7:45am:  29.7

9:15am:  27.5

Some areas show blades of grass poking thru, mostly under trees; other solid covered areas up to 2”-3”. So for the moment will go with a very unofficial 2” for this system, will reevaluate during this morning

Almost a dusting.  Its so great living here.

[H2O]

For MBY in the tropics we def lost a lot of snow due to temps. If we hadn’t torched during the day it would have accumulated better. This could have been a 2-3” deal if ground wasn’t as warm. 
 

Shady areas already icy cause now temps falling

Went for a run it’s really freezing up in a hurry.  Almost like a mini flash freeze in progress. 

[Interstate]

25.9/23.6. I have dropped 2 degrees since 730

[HighStakes]

4.5 total. Temp down to 22.

[winter_warlock]

Snow has stopped here in sparrows point MD partly cloudy skies.  I got 2.125 inches but the story now is temps.  Temperature has dropped 2 degrees in last hour. Down to 28.4F

[winter_warlock]

 So far for December I have 2.875 inches pretty much at climo for eastern Baltimore county!  And we still got 17 days to go!!

After doing a second measurement i realized I've got nearly 3". Total grass coverage. Getting cold now.

[LP08]

Shoveled the walk/driveway.  Way more grauple than I would have thought.  Easily could have been over 2” with a few more degrees.

2 inches today on lawn. 2.5 for season.  

[WxUSAF]

As we thought yesterday, Harford and Cecil would have verified warnings. North Baltimore and Carroll would have also and NW MoCo and NW HoCo came damn close.

[Bob Chill]

Great pics northern peeps! Nothing down here obviously but wanted to strongly recommend spending some time tonight skywatching for the Geminids. Saw 7 last night in like 5 minutes. Red, white, and blue colors. We were looking SE around 1030pm. Moon was still down so great dark sky conditions. Last night and tonight are the peak.

Even with the localized dud this is still the best December snow totals since 2018.

Correct, we finally are getting at least a taste of snow in December, feels good. Now we go big game hunting in January

Similar recent Decembers for DCA are 2013 and 2018. Last time they got at least 2 inches was 2010.

Heavenly snow totals

1.3” here. Lost about 90 minutes of qpf due to warm surface temps and then had poor snow growth the rest of the storm
