Patience for the DMV and DC proper is no big deal at this point since Nov/Dec have never really been snow months save for an outlier or two...our window is pretty much January onward. So...in the meantime...take a left turn from panic city. Y'all on the northern/westernn sectors might want to freak out though.

LOL You can't even see the streets around here! Natures dandruff...

Saw this posted on twitter though I'm not familiar with this gentleman. Relevant to the current pattern or just gas?

Apologies if this is already posted. Might want to nudge that 20-35 a hair more south. Time for new snow boots!

Look folks, I'm just having fun with this. No need to get all cramped up, I'm simply saying science is an ongoing process. What was believed possible in the past not so much now. In 2300 people likely will question the current analysis with different technology. Theories ebb and flow, such as plate tectonics. I worked for a certain atmospheric oceanic agency so I get the whole climate bit. What we don't know if this is a normal cycle spiked by human activity or a long term trend. It's also curious considering the environmental controls in place now that didn't exist decades ago. So many factors involved. The ice age was posted as a parody.

THAT'S RIGHT! Besides we're supposed to be "Snowball Earth" right now according to 60s scientists. Why isn't earth a block of ice?...but, but... And just think nobody has mentioned fat squirrels, woolies, or persimmon seeds!

Miss the point all day and half the night if you want. cool with me. I cry about nothing on this forum. It's snow, not world peace.

Almost as annoying as the never ending obsession with 2009-2010 as if it's the eternal benchmark for all storms on the east coast. I find myself doing a lot of scrolling past all the reminiscing. The earth changes regardless of humans or science. Maps you see today are already obsolete. Science is testing/comparison/theorum/deduction/results and analysis. It isn't foolproof or absolute because it's a man made conceptual system for us to understand our immediate reality better. The same science that declares the earth is moving to a heatsink is the same science that declared frozen future ice ages in the 60s. The same science that 'knew' the sun rotated the earth. As our understanding of the planet increases over time so will the accuracy. The oceans are still 70 percent unknown even now and they are a driving force of weather patterns. The earth has a chaos factor, not rigid systemic order that we can always package neatly for convenience. and now back to your regularly scheduled program...

More proof of upcoming blizzards...

HEE HEE. No need to panic, we got this. SOLD!!!!

Excited for the possibilities this winter, either way. I think some folks make snow too personal and find anecdotes to whine/panic about. Screw panic. I don't care or agonize about past snowstorms either. That snow is in your toilet, your teakettle or your swimming pool right now. Get over it and look forward to the future. Can't speak for everyone's region but it's not like we have to wait 20 years a pop to see the white stuff. This probably won't be a popular take but I've been wanting to say this for some time. I generally like to lurk for information as a weather geek. Nature always has levels of chaos we can't predict. If we 'knew' how much snow we'd get every year, what would there be to talk about? Just post up totals and be done. The mid atlantic has some dynamics that keep everyone guessing. Time to start considering it a blessing not a curse. If you want wall to wall boring snow move up to northern latitudes. I have people up there that whine about too much snow. And when it's gone they don't miss it. The 'snow for the sake of snow' has limits. When it sits around too long it gets dirty and funky (or turns to ice rinks)...y'all know what I mean. Maybe that turns some folk on but it doesn't work for me. I like to take pictures of the fresh stuff and the moody skies. I record every storm in my area, big or small...it's fun. So relax, go for the ride and hope for the best.

LOL lot of data posted here, and I have my popcorn: BTW, does anyone value the "Siberian Snow Cover" factor any more, or has that gone the way of the DoDo?

Bottomed out at 7 degrees, 49%H -17 wind chill.

A balmy 12 degrees, wind chill -1 in SE DC. Rain runoff is officially a skating rink.

Heavy, sleety rain coming down in sheets. Some drippy ice on tree banches/power lines but streets are wet. My baby trees are enjoying the soaking! Roads are a washout. 43DP/36. A cozy day for sure if you can manage it!

42/16 Bottomed out at 22 last night. Ice still under car despite southern exposure. Hope crazy temps later in the week don't verify. 70s in May = good, green spring in bloom. 70s in March = brown grass, bugs and stinking mud. Wild temp swings are hell on the sinuses, too! Did the "Fake extra daylight clock change thing". Ugh

Bottoming out at a cool, cool 23 degrees.

26/22 Nice coating on non paved surfaces. Streets wet but starting to look 'shiny.'

Small ice balls forming on tree branches. Local digital forecast says snow stopping, then starting, then ending, then starting soon. LOL!!! Every half hour 30/24

What a fun and relaxing event. Fresh white stuff, low impact. Blowy and snowy! Dew point may be keeping the streets on the wet side, but accumulation everywhere else. 30/26

Snow picking up in intensity. Car toppers, mulch white and some grass coverage. Streets wet/icy ish. 31/29. Makes a nice sleepy Saturday!

Sheets of cold rain, then BAM!!! Just like that, changed to sleet. 35/31 dig it

Icy sleet snow 32/29 9 mph wind Coating on cars, some grassy areas.

DC Major Storms: 1899 1922 1936 1958 1966 1979 1983 1987 1996 1999 (ICE / snow) 2000 2003 2009 2010 2016

34/31 Steady snow falling straight down, kind of icy. Starting to accumulate on grass.
