I was very afraid of the column...probably more than I should have been, but surface temps were perfectly fine last night when everyone was concerned...even without a high pressure...since when did 36/27 become a bad early evening temp reading the night before a storm?

I was less "concerned" about them than wanting them to max their bottoming potential which they really didn't. But, they still fell quite nicely once the precip fell. An extra degree or two can make a big difference though of course.

Almost an inch in Germantown as the edge nears. I am pretty happy with it as I expected nothing the way things looked at 6 am.

I wasn't looking for any snow at all on the 24th and 26th -- both one inchers -- so I am satisfied with this week. Looks like cold and dry for a while but you never know what can pop up.

Precip type is fine, but surface temps are killing us. It is nice to see big fat flakes in the air, but they are melting as fast as they are accumulating. I won't be able to go above 0.2" with a straight face despite a couple of hours of decent rates.

As a kid you didn't know the potential for any storm based on a model..you couldn't usually say what could have been..you wake up its snowing you're happy you go play....ahhhh so much better than moaning about what it was supposed to be or is somewhere else... I woke up it snowed and accumulated for the third time this week and it was Christmas to boot! Yay snow!!!

Yeah, we spent a long time talking about temps but they have been mostly a non-issue. It wasn't like we were 60 before the storm like sometimes happens. It has been cold enough for the past week with a good sun angle situation. We probably should have been paying more attention to the dual-low structure sapping our precip. Some were talking about that, certainly (Bob Chill for one).

i cant go above T with a straight face. too wet.. 2 degrees lower on starting point could have been huge

you guys north and west were never a big concern--i told winterwxluvr to go to bed.. it was really just the 'transition zone'. it's nice to see snow but the sfc temps still suck considering the outcome.
