Don't care... give me a 1-3/2-4 and I'm good even if he gets like 5 inches

But is that textbook?

With the 12z EURO looking like that... maybe some thunderstorms next weekend instead

Looks like a large cutter going to be coming for next weekend on the EURO... HP is moving out too quickly... but I wouldn't mind it if we can get the Day 4-5 event that the 12z EURO suggests

Looks like the 12z GGEM just about for the same period

Yeoman posts once in a while nowadays... haven't seen much of him posting tbh... Deck Pic will be back when there is a real threat

I wouldn't mind tonights 00z GGEM run. Get that 2nd storm a bit further south in its track and we'd all be happy

Wait, Ji is okay with 1-3 in December?

Would seem that the 12z GEFS and the 12z EURO OP runs today SUGGEST that Days 8-10 could be a threat window for our region for wintry precip

CAD still holding tough at 216 on 12z EURO at the 850mb level

I like that look on the 12z EURO at Day 8

Anybody out there in NW VA where the radar says its precipitating? Is that snow? I am guessing @WinterWxLuvr that's your area?

A weak disturbance will move across the region overnight. As it crosses the region, a period of light snow is possible across the District of Columbia, northern Virginia, central, northern and western Maryland, and the eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. With relatively warm road temperatures preceeding this event, limited impacts are expected on roads, but bridges and non-paved surfaces may become covered in a light coating of snow. Accumulations should be less than one inch where they do occur. Any snow should end by dawn Wednesday. $$ RCM

Usually in the PNS https://www.weather.gov/lwx/pnsmap?type=snow

What? Both WxUSAF and Bob said the EPS supports the OP. Cutters don't give us snow... usually very little. That 240 image clearly shows snow to ice

Lol

I remember the week and days leading up to that storm... I was supposed to be working and I pretty much kept toggling back and forth between the model pages, the Eastern forum, and something called work lol. Luckily most of the staff knew I was deep into being a weather nerd already and would ask things like how much snow was coming, when would it start, etc. My favorite memory of work that week was our IT director sending me a message when I was looking at the models saying, "Matt, the models will be there in an hour, your work, however, will still be there as well." It was hard to do work that week with the models showing run after run of heavy heavy snow for us

Gets a meh when its textbook for us? Wonder what would get a "nice" look from you. Yes, its 10 days out, but that look is a big storm look as Bob and others pointed out.

The Mapnificent Storm?

2 feet of snow or bust

2002-2003 had 40.4" of snowfall -- but that was punctuated with the big Feb 2003 snowstorm 1955-1956 was a crappy winter at DCA... 11.3" of snowfall 1961-1962 was an average winter... snow was spread out over Dec-March for a total of 15.0" (Nov 1961 had 1.3" of snow) Snowfall records found here -- https://www.weather.gov/media/lwx/climate/dcasnow.pdf

You have chosen your pizza well

00z GGEM has the trailing wave idea but its too late for us... as usual (Dec 11-12)

Really think that time period (Dec 16-19) is going to be our first real threat around here ETA: Actually, is it just me... or did the 00z GFS OP run at the end look like a train of threats headed our direction?

That's correct
