    Early call from NWS

    I did some hiking this afternoon on Skyline Drive near Luray. Surprised to see that shaded areas on north-facing hills had some snow cover. I think that area should do well on Saturday.

    Are today’s CIPS analogs still showing Jan 1996, Feb 2010, Feb 1983 and Jan 2016 for Saturday ?

    It’s rare that my yard gets a 6” snowfall and DC gets shutout in the same storm. Other than a couple of events in late March, and mid-November 2018, may have to go back to December 2012 to find such an event in the winter. Gotta believe if it snows that much here, the Metros get into some of it also.

    It’s now modeled to be moving a lot faster, also reducing QPF potential. Barely an 8-10 hour storm now vs what was showing the past couple of days.

    lol that has the 4 largest snowstorms I’ve ever experienced and a few other one-footers

    Isn’t the elevation around campus between 100’ and 200’ above sea level ? I lived in College Park for several years, near the beltway, and I think my yard was under 300’.

    Some models started showing the possibility of N. Pacific ridging in the long-range, which should effectively end any chance we have of seeing a good winter. Also, it might snow on the 7th.

    Depression-era weenies were probably complaining that it would never snow again.

    You would have loved that year. 59 days at MRB above 90°. 33 of those above 95, and 17 days that the high temp was over 100 ! From 7/19 through 7/30, the “coolest” high temp was 98.

    I’m with you in wanting to see snow showing up more extensively in the CONUS. But from memory, most of our Nino snows come in big dumps, often without much in between. That’s been my expectation for this season ever since this ENSO+ took off.

    All good points/ questions. He also produced this, if it helps explain the graph lol.

    Looks like Martinsburg airport will finish with the 4th lowest annual precip total since 1926. That’s after a late save with 5.84” in the past six weeks. 21.41” - 1930 26.32” - 1991 27.75” - 1969 28.25” - 2023

    This is also from Eric Webb. A helpful reminder for the impatient among us.

    lol. December 27th. Congrats !

    1987 had its first snow on January 22 also, and DCA ended the season with 30”+. Same date in 2016 as well.

    Looks like Friday or Saturday would be your best days. From the NWS point-and-click:
  19. WVclimo
    Had a snow shower pass through but rates weren’t enough to overcome the 38° temps.
  20. WVclimo
    1.65” storm total. Getting an occasional snowflake now.
  21. WVclimo
    Some snow is mixing in with the rain here. 38°.
  22. WVclimo
    I’m a few miles southwest of Hagerstown. Wind has shifted to the NW and is picking up. 48° now, down from a high of 52. DP is 47. Still raining with 0.55” in the bucket.
  23. WVclimo
    Raining here. 41/39

    I’m 60 years old and I’ve seen countless storms like this in mid December. It’s a product of the pattern. I don’t think you should read too much more into it than that.

    If the Washington-Jefferson snowstorm of January 1772 happened today, it would produce major urban and small stream flooding.
