Deck Pic Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Given how much we suck in November/December, this period was actually more impressive than I appreciated at the time. From 11/23 - 12/15, I had five separate accumulating snowfall events in DC proper. Instead of posting about all 5 at once, I'll post on the anniversary dates as they come up in separate posts.

Deck Pic Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 This passed already but will post about it anyway. Event #1 11/23/2005 - This was the night before Thanksgiving. It snowed lightly all evening, but was kind of warm for good stickage. I still managed 0.25". This was the 2nd of 2 legit cold shots in the 2nd half of November. Black Friday was 36/22 at DCA.

Deck Pic Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 Event #2 12/3/2005 - This one was pretty wimpy, but we're weenies so they all matter. This started late in the evening as light snow with temps around 34-35, and then flipped to light rain after a couple hours. It was enough for a glorified car topper.

WxUSAF Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I was in Germany for that period and that stout -AO produced for us too. Going off memory, we had a ~8" snow in late November, which is pretty unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deck Pic Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 Event #3 12/5-6/2005 - This was the best of the 5 events imo, and kept up our December 5th tradition, that now seems to have vanished. This was an all snow event with temps around 30 most of the event. Started mid afternoon on Monday and ended early Tuesday morning. Mostly light, but did rip pretty good in the evening and stick well. Generally a 3-4" event, with higher totals up to 6" south and east of DC. MBY - 3.25" DCA - 2.9" IAD - 2.6" BWI - 3.3" https://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KDCA/2005/12/5/DailyHistory.html?req_city=Ronald+Reagan+Washington+National&req_state=VA&req_statename=&reqdb.zip=22202&reqdb.magic=11&reqdb.wmo=99999 https://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/KDCA/2005/12/6/DailyHistory.html?req_city=Ronald Reagan Washington National&req_state=VA&req_statename=&reqdb.zip=22202&reqdb.magic=11&reqdb.wmo=99999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 12/5/05 was just a nice early season event. Need more like that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked 12/9 as well. Even though it flipped to heavy sleet earlier than I thought and New England got annihilated. . I'll post about that one in a couple days.
