WxUSAF's weak ass frontal passage thing.

[NorthArlington101]

Am now inside for the basketball game hopefully by the time it ends it’ll be snowing 

Free concessions tonight is lame. Can’t believe they have to bribe you to watch UVA basketball! I guess it’s kinda late…. but you all are in college lol.

Radar looks like precip is pretty far south of DC. Not confident we’ll see anything out of this in Arlington.

Also, when people say their observations but don’t put their location, what’s the point?

Not looking good IMO

Are you on mobile? I think a lot of people bank on the fact that location shows up on their profile to the left but that doesn't happen on mobile.

started as sleet here in Lynchburg a few minutes ago, 35 degrees

Ummmm….well judging by radar, NOVA might not see a flake! Glad to see the trains of plow trucks going up 66. Waste more tax payer dollars lol.

Towson. Nothing!

Light snow in Spotsy started about 15 min ago. But very light.

Yes I’m on mobile. I rarely get on PC for this forum. Appreciate the heads up, somebody should fix that lol

The mix has gone over to all snow here, just starting to stick/accumulate. 32.2/29.5. 

[stormtracker]

Snow should pass safely south of DC.  Godspeed little snow.

now all rain

@WxUSAF should stop creating threads. He created the failing frontal passage for tonight and the cold rain in December!

Imagine the shellacking we’d be in for if I started this thread like our other weak storms in December.

I was a mix for almost 2 hours at 33 degrees!! Flakes are twice the size they were 20 minutes ago. Maybe we actually get something??

He chose not to participate here anymore, during COVID. Nothing else to add to that, and not the place.

Does he post somewhere else or have Facebook? I learned so much through his morning updates.

[IUsedToHateCold]

Some weak stragglers trying to make the long mountain journey. Maybe I'll make 0.1 inches. 

[WesternFringe]

32° and still light snow. Accumulating on the driveway and on ice.
 

NW of Staunton in Augusta County

What goods there are, are down in your 'hood. My WWA was canceled although I have what I would describe as a heavy dusting (less than 1/2") with very light snow continuing. I'd love it if you got a couple inches!

[Warm Nose]

So, after all that it indeed, was weak ass.

[WEATHER53]

Filling in west if Warrenton. Warrenton is often a bench mark for what passes over it and DC beltway region 

[Demeter]

It’s mixing in between rain and flakes. If this is going to freeze tonight it’s gonna be a mess.

DC 04z RAP sounding off the 02z run. Could get messy.

Meh, IMO the rap is best at extremely short term soundings

Ok fair enough-Need a follow up tho to see if it verified. I've been looking at HRRR, RAP, SREF and others like it for as long as we could see weather models on the internet. Consistently a letdown and consistently incorrect no matter how many hours away it's crazy.

Snowing lightly hate with a nice band. Heavy returns headed my way too it seems.

You really could live your life only looking at the Euro & EPS and be pretty satisfied. Throw in the HRRR and the 3k in the really short and short ranges.

There’s always a northern band!

Preparing to get hosed in DC, but that’s fine, I guess. Likely not missing much
