87storms

Still a free car wash in Bethesda, though it is chilly.

Getting even a coating after starting out in the 50s and a soaking rain the day before would be an accomplishment around here. Also, an inch on the maps is what falls through the air. Cut that in half for what might stick. Still would be nice to see a period of snow and its early December with another threat possible next week.

I have absolutely no expectations beyond snow tv. We’re mild leading in and we have cold air chasing precip, not to mention starting out with wet ground. That said...it should be interesting to track and you gotta like how this season has started if you’re a snow/cold fan. And while my expectations are low, with the changeover start time looking like it’ll be at night and with rates good enough, it wouldn’t surprise me if grass, sidewalks, and parking lots get a coating.

Lol you beat me to it.

....and radar now looks very healthy. Setups and patience ftw.

Meanwhile radar is looking less than stellar at the moment, so that’s good preparation for winter. Win win.

yea, it looks like a fairly classic wintry setup, but just 1-2 months too early.

the redskins problem all along has been their inability to accept a longterm rebuild. snyder isn't a terrible owner as far as funding is concerned. he's ponied up the contracts. they've even drafted well at times, but it gets clouded by this win now mode that they're simply not ready for. i also think they need a new stadium location. their current spot has no soul/culture around it. the wizards are a mess, but at least you can go to the verizon center and enjoy the surrounding area. what's the real draw to spend an entire sunday at fedex? the redskins need to come up with a longterm vision including a new stadium even if it takes 2-3 bad years.

yea it was essentially a 4 month summer

i still think it's an accomplishment getting to this point after a very prolonged warm/wet pattern. last winter was only saved by the shear volume of precip events, but it was predominantly mild and summer ended up being above normal. spring was amazing though.

after the mild start in september, it's been a pretty classic start to fall/winter with a pretty dramatic turnaround in temps after a very warm summer. looks like this pattern is locked in for now. i see some mild temps towards the end of the week, but that's average for this time of year.

i think this is gonna be pretty legit for 95 dc/bmore. i'm not expecting thunder, but a good rain/winder.

saw a flash and a little bit of a thunder. i'm in.

post front is the concern. having a flashlight handy for that portion problem isn't a bad call.

buffalo trace might be the best of the cheap bourbons. oh...and it's been breezy today. my jeep was like whoa.

Honestly not sure anything can compare to last years foliage. Late bloomer but vibrant.

I’m not ready for snow yet but I am ready for the current temp change. Definitely a longer summer than I expected. Gonna be interesting to see how Jan/feb play out.

This weather is next level

autumn is slackin'

this is composite and not great for zooming in on small scale events, but it's another option. i use it mostly for past winter storms or anything large scale: https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/current/mcview.phtml?prod=usrad&java=script&mode=archive&frames=60&interval=60&year=2014&month=2&day=12&hour=0&minute=0

i am, however, interested in tropical season this year.

i'll never forget how beautiful it was the day before the impending hecs. played ball in shorts and a tshirt lol. march snowstorms are kinda lame anyway unless we're talking '14, so that wasn't much of a stinger. edit: well, and '93 was fun, but that's like uncommon and stuff. that said, i'm not ready for that snow noise. i'm still enjoying what's been a pretty solid thunderstorm season, at least imby.

round two moving through shortly. dc looks prime for that.

healthy deluge, but nothing like yesterday's hurricane-like downpours. i don't recall seeing it rain that much in a 45 minute period before. the 270 split has done pretty well with storms this year.

Impressive wind driven storm just pulsed right overhead. Probably close to localized severe.
