87storms

Today’s 12z run is gonna be the most important run since the winter solstice.

We're generally much better at precip than cold. DCA averages over 8 inches of precip in the winter...if we had the temps on our side, we might actually get bored of snow lol.

I’m not jealous.

I'm jealous.

Breaks in the clouds down in Central VA, so it's real real lol. Pivot might keep areas north/east socked into clouds, though. https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/sector_band.php?sat=G16&sector=ne&band=02&length=12

This would be my 4th snow event this winter. We might be teeing up for a January MECS at this point.

lol, can’t believe it’s raining in some parts of dc. Would have expected snow from this batch. Still managing flakes up here..:though it’s now just flurries.

Actually a very healthy flake size. Struggling to accumulate, but jeep soft tops, etc. are caving a bit. Too bad it's not lasting longer.

Yea, it's a steady snow here with respectable dendrites.

Snow shower on my doorstep. Looking foggy to the west.

I'm going via my work (my company is actually one of the sponsors) and my first and only concern was the timing of it. We're still decent at January snow here.

I'm in. This weather is getting boring lol

09/10 was a fluke with blocking starting by early to mid-Fall and several east coast systems already hitting "the wall". It was only a matter of time before it snowed in that pattern. Imo, this winter is showing its hand pretty early as a potentially "run of the mill" winter. I've already had a couple of snow events, but as typical in December, nothing to go 4 wheeling in. It's been cold at times and mild at times, but nothing extreme.

It is kinda wild, though, that in 3 months it’ll be March Madness. Relying on backloaded winters is risky business. It’ll be go time soon. .

The 2nd and 3rd Jan '22 snowstorms were cool, but the first one that gave Cabin John several inches and Frederick several flakes made me question my post count (even more than I already do).
