33/21 thick clouds.

For the mets here...how dependent are we on mountain ranges for coastal storms? I once joked if the Appalachians were gone we'd get lots of clippers vs the rain/sleet line that often catches this latitude. I'm kind of wading through these observations trying to connect the dots with the airmass patterns. And DC is smack in the middle of the east coast.

Mortals You amuse me with your analysis, technology and science. I was born of chaos and am the ultimate chaos bringer. Don't attempt to understand me. Sometimes I rule in favor, sometimes not. I'm a moody planet, what can I say. Now resume with your panic and fake hysteria. I look forward to all your efforts. Sincerely, Mother Earth

43/36 no analysis needed.

Spare us your logic and facts. We'll stick with wild eyed hysteria and wish casting.

40/37 Rain, minimal wind.

A calm and quiet 33 degrees in Hillcrest SE. Just over 2 inches of hard snow cone pack!

25/23 Medium fat steady snow. About 2.5". Nice.

Now 24/8. A few mood flakes. Nice salt!

Exactly what's in my neck of the woods, 23/8. Cloudy. Just heard a plow truck lumbering up the street.

Bottoming out at 15/1

OOPS. My slip Next week looks lit though. Time to stock up now...

Per CWG for DC proper: (EST 10:45pm) "At least morning to midday hours are salvageable for errands, and afternoon snow looks pretty for a time, before roads quickly deteriorate as snow changes to ice into the evening."

18/1 now, that was quick. Feels pretty raw with the cold though.

Now 19 degrees in SE DCA. Could care less about averages, its cold asf.

23 degrees at DCA SE.

I remark that resemble! (or is it ensemble??)

Weird night temp wise...kept bottoming out all night until 6 AM at 32 degrees. Up to 37 about an hour ago.

No thanks. We have June through October for that.

Gives me more time to look at the mud and bugs...and herds of birds plucking worms from soggy yards.

I ignore all maps. It's a thing with me now.

Funny how the sun doesn't hit all the snowpack at a time. I'm down to 30 percent out front but still around 70 percent cover in the back. The street out front still has large patches of ice. Stubborn stuff. Temp at 37 now.

Winter comes regardless of snow. Just thought I'd chime in on that. Kind of lost faith in any models this year. Either the technology isn't fine tuned enough or historical patterns have less validity. I'm not a met, so heck if I know. But it's almost comical and bizarre the amount of maps that swing wildly (snow total wise) as systems set up and form. Maybe the public has access to too many clown maps now. If you live in a complex climate region for snow there's really no need in getting too fixated about high amounts. Sometimes you gotta take what you got and enjoy it. Or move your butt to Maine, Michigan, or anywhere in snow climo. They don't even care about the stuff up there, they get so much. Trust me, I got people up there and they complain about too much snow! Grass is greener, lol. Or whiter! Are you really gonna do anything more with a foot of snow than 4 inches, other than the cool factor? It's only a big deal in this region because of the challenge of forecasting. I'm a snow lover, but I ain't diving off a bridge about it. And if it hangs around too long it gets funky and dirty lookin'.
