The gradients don't event match up. Loudoun County somewhere between 5" and 20".

Area fox?

Germantown is becoming denser and a tad higher in elevation so it can mix out earlier.

Was living in New Salem, PA at the time and commuting to Gaithersburg for work. The winter of 13-14 killed my '99 Outback (stopped cranking at 4am despite a new battery, starter, and alternator) and was the only winter where it was so cold that work and home were basically the same temperature in the morning. Could you imagine a winter with 09-10 level snow and 13-14 level temps? Truly would be epic.

I just don't want to torch this winter. 65 and bad air quality on Christmas is just terrible.
-
I really wish West Virginia had a mesonet. There's so much CAD and terrain challenges that it would be great to see that.

Halloween. Love this holiday. Hope there's tons of kids out tonight.

If it were late January or February it would've been 35 and rain the entire time. We had SE winds the entire event.

Rainfall was never supposed to be the main feature of this system.

Looks like that might be the triple point as analyzed on this meso: https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md1927.html

Had a 9% TOR risk per CIMMS earlier.

The low level inversion appears to be eroding. Within the past hour, several ASOS locations in St. Mary's County are sustained 30+, G40+.

What time will Delmarva sink into the sea?

You have to understand that we have a tendency to get the rug pulled out from underneath us at the last minute, sometimes as late as 12 to 24 hours prior to the event. It gets worse when folks from other forums come down to rub salt in the wounds and spike the ball in our face just to get a rise out of us. Snow is sacred here, you wait months for a 15 days window that produces maybe 8 to 12 hours of snow and then it's gone by sunset the next day.

Hitsotircally, La Nina winters are pretty terrible south of DC and east of I-95. Unless you're along Mason-Dixon or at a higher elevation, keep your expectations really low.
-
Unless it's 1995-1996, 2002-2003, or 2009-2010 redux, it's a failure. I've been guilty of that in the past. Just give me climo and Christmas snow anymore and I'm happy.

Adults sucking the fun out of everything. There was a big push in the early 2000s in Lancaster to rebrand the day at "Jesusween" and seeing the ads in the newspaper were bizarre.

The prolonged storm last winter had 1 run where the NAM put 50" out for the Catoctin Mts. -
Big outages across SE MA and RI. Some places approaching >95% outages.

Honestly, I don't know. In a situation like that, I incorporate CoCoRahs and doppler estimates. If my rain totals are too high or low, I toss them and use the consensus around me. Keep in mind, this only happens maybe 1 event in 10.
