Paleocene

All those H bomb tests.

To improve the mood before the Euro runs I will post this picture that I took on 1/14/2019, when we got 6+" in a nice strip right across the DMV. This is on the northwest branch of the Anacostia near Hyattsville.

I'm all in on AGW and I don't doubt it's contributing to our warmer winter (and every other day of the year) stretch. Disclaimer, this post will probably be deleted/moved because I'm talking about CC, but I'd rather talk about it here than in that weird subforum thread. The point I want to make is we only have 130ish years of snowfall records. It would be really cool if we had a thousand years of records so we didn't have to rely on decade-to-decade comparisons within such a small dataset. For instance, what was annual snowfall in this region in the 1600s and 1700s? Anyone aware of any records kept during that period?

At this point i'll take a cold dry period over 50s and april showers.

Euro trying for d10. Yeet

Congrats, we just did the same in Silver Spring. The previous owner left behind two snowshovels, and I brought my own that I already had, so damn it I'm going to be out there with my 9 year old shoveling enormous piles out of our driveway before March!

GFS about to end it all when this rains 3" on all of us

I don't have paid maps but this is a free product on pivotal. EPS 00z: EPS 12z:

Slow mover, just like yesterday. 180-198 hours its basically parked off NC. Gonna be a nuke job for PA's northern tier/upstate NY. And rain for the whole I-95 megalopolis corridor so at least we've got that going for us. I'm still in after this run

GFS not bad with the sunday evening deal for y'all northern folk.

12z hi-res NAM has a bit of flakeage coming through after about 5pm Sunday. mostly south of 66/50 though

So treat all of your posts like opposite day? What about your username?

Nothing like a 240 op run to calm the nerves. The low crawls, it takes 24 hours to get from GA to off of NC

Euro has cold in place.

at least it's warm rain!

The low doesn't actually cut north, it gets squashed but its all rain for us anyway. garbage 204 hour map:

great footage thanks for sharing! please re-create if we ever get snow this winter...

Decent agreement with GEFS at range, though the low locations are fuzzier for it. Hoping this one stays trackable til the weekend to give us some 2023 hope.

Just an observation about the intensity of cold we had: the ground is still frozen in certain shady or northern exposure spots around here. When night falls, you can feel the chill come off the ground. It's quite cold. This is pretty much the only time of year that can happen, when insolation is low enough even on sunny days. It's great! If only we had some snow to stick around....

I think i saw a single flake in silver spring? maybe? no.

Front squall line passing through silver spring now. Heavy rain and a couple pellets of ice mixed in. Five mins of heavy rain then quickly slowed. Good thing I tracked this for ten days

On a selfish note, I will appreciate the early January thaw/torch as I am scheduled to move (in the neighborhood) on January 7th.

bob dylan voice: And it’s a COOOOOOOOLD rain’s a-gonna fall

Had a few sleets or ice pellets mixed in with rain here in silver spring 30mins ago. Now cold cold rain
