I'm impressed that DCA made it to 20° with no snow cover before Christmas.

Good lord, 12z GFS pops a 591 dm ridge over us on Christmas Day. Pain.

Amen. This would get IAD, DCA, and BWI to 100% snow climo for the month.

Thank you both for the explanation. I appreciate it!

HR93 on the 06z Euro puts light snow for everyone north of I-66 on Saturday? Would be a 1" - 3" event.

This looks like zonal Pacific Puke to me. Can you illustrate what the upside if to this kind of upper air presentation?

Second

Works for me. There's a big difference between upper 40s for highs, than low 60s for days on end.

Boom

CHO reporting 27/23 with "snow and blowing snow". Nice!

Bittinger was -3 Td earlier. I think even DCA and BWI could hit the teens tonight.

I don't disagree with this statement. As you said, in previous year Canada would be torched October and November, so there's no snow pack come winter. Even a 1035 mb high over Quebec would yield us 33 and white rain. This year, it just seems like the cold air is much closer.

MERRY CHRISTMAS CHARLIE BROWN!

12z Euro AI closes the DC to NYC snow hole before Christmas, and ensures many of us are at 100% of December snowfall climo. Yes please.
