  1. Coldest this season here as well, but still only 25F.
  2. DCA hasn’t been below 22F in like 3 years? So yeah, give me the vodka cold so it can sneak down to 21F in an intrahour!
  3. Saw a tweet earlier this week. Every major station east of the MS river (and probably most west of it too) is BN on snowfall. Lake effect zones aren’t too far behind yet I think. I believe Buffalo and Syracuse were like 5-6” behind. Erie was 10” or so.
  4. Micro-pixie dust in Columbia. Biggest December snow of the 2021-2022 season!
  5. Damn, who could have predicted an I-95 snow hole and the NW crew to cash in big time??!! I’ll have to remember that for next time!
  6. Something weird on radar just west of IAD
  7. Put the snowboard in the yard, so it’s my fault when it rains.
  8. #NeverApologize More seriously, you’re all good. There’s lots of crotchety people here and you’ll learn how to ignore if you want. I think it’s great you’re here and don’t let our first snow fail of the season change your posting!
  9. 72 hours is typical for smaller events I’d say. We’ve done longer for big dogs that have some level of consensus already.
  10. Go sit in the corner until January
  11. Stoked for all the neighborhood's leaves to be in my front yard tomorrow morning
  12. Nice to see the Euro get in on the "more than flurries/sprinkles" game.
  13. This dovetails nicely with that tweet by Eric Webb that @frd posted. A strong Scandi ridge is a typical precursor for -NAO events as the Rossby wave propagates and the ridge moves westward into the NAO domain with time. I doubt we're in a cold/snowy pattern by Xmas, but I expect things will be moving in a positive way by the beginning of that week around the 20th.
  14. Literal factor of 10 difference in precip total between the 12k and 3k NAM for MBY
  15. Trough sharpened on the Ukie vs 0z even though the precip was still paltry. Did euro do the same?
  16. Probably reasonable. Surface temps will be important though (when are they not??), so it probably a T at DCA and 1” for the Parrs Ridge crowd which stay at 30-32F for the duration.
  17. Ground is the proper way. Elevated and liquid nitrogen cooled is the weenie way .
  18. More signs that the torch shouldn’t last forever. Last nights ensemble means finally showed some changes in the long range with a -EPO and AO going more neutral on GEFS and EPS. Still rough over us though because of a -PNA.
  19. Just a 2’x2’ piece of plywood and paint it white. Try to place it in the open away from obstructions and places that would drift. Measure up the hourly and wipe the board every 6 hours.
  20. NAM and GFS soundings are respectable for Wednesday morning in terms of temperatures and dendritic growth zone. Column is well below freezing except for right at the surface potentially.
  21. Maybe things are meeting somewhat in the middle?
