Ya. We will be hoping for the best here, but preparing for the worst. Pinning hopes on the NAM and a very marginal airmass. It will work out somewhere.. get a little elevation and you can start getting a bit more enthusiastic. I am not biting yet. I would think this will be less than 10:1 during the day. Snowfall accumulation should be reduced because it is the NAM, it is not 10:1, and we just are not super cold. NOW, we do have a good sun angle (had to say it!) so that at least is helpful, but falling at night would be better.

NAM brings the snow N&W areas! Just hoping trends continue and more get some snow love on all models.

There was one that has to be late January/early February that was out this way. I lived in Sterling and it started as a mix of sleet and snow, but evaporative cooling kicked in and turned me to snow.. not far down the road in Fairfax it turned over and I think nothing in DC. There was a playoff game on that day.. I cannot remember exact when, but it had to have been 1999.

I am a tracker of all weather, but snow is my favorite! So ya, I will track it more as part of my hobby fun, and closer than any other weather

GFS is absolutely terrible right now. Not sure what model to trust, but it is not the GFS

Oh man! We are in the classic one of the too far North, South, East, West setups - @Ji - This could be west!

I was thinking the same! Jan 3rd painful whiff

It is a convoluted mess! I do not think it can figure out what does what, when it phases, or how.

Heavy rain and some small hail here in Purcellville. Temp dropped to around 50 quick

Oh noooo! That stinks! Hope things turn on soon

3.9 degrees for a low.

5.6/-7

Down to 12.2 and a cold wind chill of negative 4.

14.1 was the coldest thus far. Coldest wind chill was negative 6. Bumped up to 15 again. So cold

My mega tree is not doing so great. LOL. 19/3. Wind chill Down to 5 degrees.

Had a few flurries. Was outside in a futile attempt to reattach a strand of lights that decided to break free. Winds were howling. Currently 26. Winds gusting well into the 40s I am certain

My stupid weather station decided it was done transmitting - when I most want it to work! Man - do not ever get Acurite stuff! I mean, it works alright for a bit and then just decides to quit broadcasting or something! So frustrating! Davis will be in my future! Just windy cold here.

I got a rock! Honestly, nothing frozen! Models showed this well, but I thought they may be wrong!

That little line solidified just east of me! Like a few miles east! I did not get that in my backyard. I think that may have been why did not get the mix.

I am now up to 42 degrees! Winds are still West South West. Front has not made it through really.

Just rain. It was kind of heavy but I did not see any sleet or anything. The temp. Did fall 3 degrees to 37 but went right back up to 41 after the precip stopped. Winds gusted 20 to 30 mph.

When the heaviest of rain came through I did gust in the upper 20s to lower 30s. The wind is not too far above us.

Me too. Had a windy mix as well for a moment of rain and rain slant. Temps went from a balmy 37 to a shivering 40.8 Guessing that the the cold lags a wee bit. The ground is soaking wet though. When the drop occurs it may have some water to freeze

There is nothing warm about this rain btw
