What is the impact of the Xmas/New Year storms on the Mid-Atlantic

[J.Mike]

The next two weeks look to be the best opportunity this winter to produce significant snow for the Mid-Atlantic.

What do you think is going to happen?

or or

[Fozz]

Maybe 4-6" in DC for the first one (probably more further north), and then RAIN on New Years.

And yes, I understand that last night's Euro essentially had a HECS.

[Ellinwood]

I went < 4" Christmas and rain on New Years', though I almost chose > 4" for Christmas. I was thinking we'd get right around 4" myself, so I went on the more climatologically-favored side of the fence.

EDIT: For DCA

[Kmlwx]

Kind of early to say IMO.

[Herb@MAWS]

What city is this poll for WRT responses of > or < 4" ?

People answering in S VA may have a different response than those in DC or MD.

[Herb@MAWS]

and if one gets EXACTLY 4", neither selection is technically acurate.

Need the good old "greater than OR equal to" sign lol

Picky Picky Picky.

If you answer the poll, tell us your city/region/etc. I mean, when it comes to snow it's all about your backyard, right?

Wes says the Christmas storm has a 20% chance of being > 4".

It's typical La Nina climo and a SNE year.

Four to five inches for Christmas. My BY is in Woodbridge VA, north VA

Four more inches of snow for the New Years storm.

I'm sticking with Climo. Can't go wrong. Models hint at a frozen event Christmas, probably snow, and Dec climo says 4 inches.

Not looking for snowmageddon - not at least until Christmas 2135.

With medical advancements, there is a chance I will still be alive.

[rainstorm]

for here ill say a coating if there really is any changeover for christmas. rain new years.

[J.Mike]

Wow, consensus is that the Xmas storm will over-perform climo. Love that optimism

[FrederickWX]

OTS for the Christmas storm, and apps runner for the New Years storm. Hope I'm wrong, but I fear we get screwed on both.

Jebman, I just love your energy. I love violent weather, as long as no one gets hurt. I love snow, but just the thought of you jeb walking and singing makes me happy and has made my day.

I have relied on Eastern and now will rely on American to give me the best predictions of the weather. I actually have a following because I get the info from all of you and pass it on. I love the bantering, I love the science and the history and the politics. When you all are right it is art and is wonderful. I do not add much because I can't. I can only say what is happening in MBY. Thank you all for you knowledge, your personalities and your fun. Just know that I am always lurking for a good reason. Happy Holidays!
