Low of 34 on the hill in Reisterstown, but our Clarksville mesonet site dipped to 26. The 12z RAOB from IAD indicates a bit of an inversion.

If you mean surface observations, yes. These are surface stations. We don't have profiles like New York.

I misinterpreted a map a few pages ago, asked a legit question, and was trolled for it. It's become a joke at my expense now.

Merry Christmas, more mesonet sites are online! Our entire network runs on 5 min obs. Thank you @wxmeddler and everyone else on the team for all of their work. You can also view data on our website: https://mesonet.umd.edu/ PS, for any NOAA or Synoptic users, the IDs for each site are at the end of the URL below. If you want soil data, check out the link on the website above. More sites dropping in during 2024.

New normal unfortunately. People are starting to come to grips with it. Our snow climo is going to be like Charlotte, NC in a few years.

Yup. No dry airmass or temp issues. It just snowed.

+3 along I-95...cold rain

Awesome. Thanks for the explanation. My wheelhouse is mesoscale meteorology (hence the mesonet). Trying to learn the long range stuff.

What is the advantage to a slightly -PNA with a -NAO?

Really hope we don't have to wait until February for snow.

Thank you. They were honking about low natural gas futures back in autumn and calling for a wall-to-wall torch this winter. I wonder if they're worried about having egg on their face.

I'm not trying to be a deb here, can you explain to me why the 540 line is so far north during what should be the coldest time of the year in North America? That doesn't seem like a great setup for snow down here.

Anyone with paid access have eyes on the EPS?

This is good to see. I need to remind myself to never look at an OP run beyond HR 120.

Yea unless I'm missing something it looked like hot garbage.

A tradition like no other. We're all sick and it's glorious.

Good. Don't ever change. We'll have snow free winters soon enough in these parts, let's enjoy what we can while we have it.

Yes that's definitely my site. It's odd to not see the data from 12/17 to 12/20 on there. I checked my view and it's on there.

Oh thank goodness. I honestly thought you were rooting for that scenario.

My post was specific to my COOP site, RSTM2.

That would be torturous. Even worse, it would skew the yearly snowfall data and make people think the winter was somehow justified.

Uh, no. We're going to need several events down here. We've almost can kicked 30% of winter down here with nothing to show for it and there's already talk of hostile periods during peak climo. We need a miracle below 40N.

I really don't want this to turn into a winter like 2015-2016 where we blow the entire pattern for 1 event that melts off in 3 days.

Yesterday's high of 39 degrees was only the 5th sub 50 high of the month at my COOP station, RSTM2. The low of 22 this morning was only the 6th sub freezing low of the month.
