So, with the 'T' this morning I am batting .250 over the last 40 years for snow falling from the sky on this date. Largest was 5.0 in 2003, 4 were T's, rest were between .5 and 4.0 inches and averages out to 0.4 over that time. I'll have to do a bit more digging to see if I have a greater 'batting average' for a date in Dec.

...POTENTIAL WINTER COMMUTING HAZARD FOR THE BALTIMORE /
WASHINGTON METRO AREAS FRIDAY MORNING...

There is a potential for hazardous commuting conditions for the
Friday morning commute. A period of freezing rain is POSSIBLE (a
30 percent chance in Carroll County increasing to 50 percent in
Fauquier and Spotsylvania Counties) Friday morning across the
northern and western portions of the Baltimore / Washington metro
areas, which would result in an icy accumulation on area roads.

If this threat does materialize during the Friday morning rush-
hour, many roads could quickly turn icy. This could lead to
dangerous traveling conditions, multiple accidents, and extensive
delays.

If commuting Friday morning, be aware of the POSSIBILITY of
significant travel disruptions. Plan ahead by allowing for extra
travel time, and consider using public transportation and telework
options.

Stay tuned for updates on this potential winter weather episode.
