    Curious to know, since I'm not good with historic analogs, what was the winter of 1940-41 like for DC and Baltimore?

    @brooklynwx99 great post, very informative. Thank you for your thoughts.

    Good news is that it appears the Canadian and GFS ensembles have the cold lasting into early/mid January. Looks like they're trying to get the Pacific to cooperate more, or at least it isn't as hostile. This would imply that we aren't going to wobble back and forth between Lows 50s and Mid 60s for highs....sustained at or below normal temperatures.

    Also, with Potter not having to buy Bailey's Building & Loan, no toxic assets were inherited by the bank. Double win.

    Eskimo Express™ I reserve all rights to this event including obs threads. In all seriousness, we probably should wait until we're inside Day 5 before considering a thread for just this event.

    Now we wait and beg.

    Yup. One of my Top 10 WxTwitter accounts that I follow.

    Not a forecast, but worth bookmarking this tweet:

    It would be interesting to get like a 3 week period where we don't hit 40° and get our climo from cold powder clipper after cold powder clipper. Get a nice setting sun from the cirrus shield coming in and then it just rains pixie dust overnight.

    I'm at the point where if we can even manage a string of clippers that give us advisory level events with BN temps, it'll be a win. I mean, snow on snow is just as good.

    I want to know what weather god JI pissed off for us to get this kind of weather in December.

    On a local/regional level, I argue climate change. Urbanization is changing the built environment in the DC/Baltimore/Frederick/Leesburg area. More concrete, more roads means we hold onto temperatures more and it kills marginal events. I see this every day on my drive to work. You go from 34 degrees in West Friendship, MD then it shoots right up to 40 degrees when you get on US 29. We're shifting the climate of the planet and it's just a fact at this point.

    Good points. I'm really trigger shy after the past few years where "good" patterns were kicked down the road into March and we were desperate for a 2" - 4" slopfest.

    Might be the kiss of death for us this winter. We're about to enter peak climo for cool temps and if the Pacific isn't going to cooperate, then it's probably best to just turn off the lights and hope for something better next year or move north.

    He, Pann, and Bass are just going off the deep end.

    Starting to get that 2001 - 02 feel.

    There were more power outages from that even in Maryland than from Hurricane Sandy. Had that wind occurred during a full canopy, we would've probably rivaled the 2012 derecho.

    850 winds on the 12z GFS would certainly argue for advisory criteria event.
