Thanks for the clarification! I love the iembot website, but sometimes there are a few data holes, especially when NWS changes from advisory -> warning during the event.
-
Yea it's not a good sign for the winter. Hudson Bay is still somewhat unfrozen and the Great Lakes are largely ice free. If we get a direct discharge of arctic air, the open water will modify the air mass.
-
It was a quick search on the IEMbot website, but that didn't come up as a warning for the District.
-
Quick search shows no Winter Storm Warning for DC since 2019. Could be wrong.

Pacific jet overwhelms us here. It's all zonal flow and nothing can dig.
-
Field work does that. You'll sleep great!

We're blitzing across Maryland this week. Dropping 4 mesonet sites in Allegany, Washington, Caroline, and Talbot counties. Data will be reviewed internally for about a week for QA/QC, then forwarded to NOAA and the public via the NWS Enhanced Data Display. The project is now onboarding more staff, and it's possible we may be able to drop in 2 sites a week so long as the weather cooperates.

^look at the western Canadian ridge. Nice.
-
Low of 22 in Reisterstown. Our Clarksville mesonet site got down to 19!
-
These above normal snowfall predictions are in deep sh*t. We'll be lucky to get 50% of normal snowfall...another 1997/98 el nino.

Because it means we have to change our ways. At the end of the day, the average American is is either indifferent or rooting for CC because they think it means less snow and inconvenience of being cold. They are willfully ignorant and they are the majority. Too hot in the summer, turn the AC on more. Can't afford an AC, oh well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hope you feel better soon! It might have been a frost quake?

Happy Monday everyone. Here's a list of all the classic Local on the 8s Christmas music from the greatest website known to man: https://search.freefind.com/find.html?si=95717179&pid=r&n=0&_charset_=UTF-8&bcd=÷&query=christmas

Mid-Atlantic Snow Totals Thread - Winter 2023-2024

M1.0" seasonal total Reisterstown COOP site. ID RSTM2. -
We're kicking the can through 50% of winter. Shocker.

Evergreen post

Make it dark like Forky's baked goods.

The ASOS is to support airport operations and is run by the FAA. The NWS is only able to glean information from it and has a limited say in it's location.
-
lol Makes sense. Slightly inland away from water could lead to better accumulation.
-
IMO, this is part of a larger issue with the national AWOS/ASOS network. There has been extensive discussion in the New England subforum about the FAA's lack of routine maintenance for technology, and funding the observer positions at the airports. Thankfully, Maryland is deploying the mesonet statewide and we are adding snow depth sensors to all of our stations so this problem will be somewhat mitigated locally.
-
Some of the Baltimore TV mets are openly questioning the accuracy of the BWI Trace reading. They are arguing it's artificially low
-
DCA snowfall measurement controversy has spread to BWI.
-
The bar was so low to begin with. That being said, I'm happy we finally got something.
-
If Camp David or Site R ASOS are online, now is the time to be checking them. You can see the colder air working down to the surface on them. It's a darn shame our western Maryland mesonet stations aren't getting installed until Tuesday and Wesneday this week.
