It will be a new 'cool max' for the date, beating 33's from both 2005 and 2010! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 Latest LWX forecast. AFD mentioned possibility of Winter Storm Watches for the mountains but confidence not quite high enough yet. Would be my 3rd time seeing snow falling in Alexandria this season if this map verifies. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I DID set was a new 'cool max' at 31.3 degrees, breaking 33.0 from both 2005 and 2010. LOL, I just realized I made 3 of the last 9 comments about my 31.3 high, sorry folks! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light constant flurries. Still 2-3” otg from last week’s 15”. Wed night forecast has my attention: 80% chance snow windy 45-55+ mph into first part of Thursday. Nice potential setup for this location and particularly this elevation with a strong cold front and upper level energy Was nice driving west watching changing Columbia blue sky go to wispy clouds past Frederick to thickening clouds after HGR to the sky looking like snow toward Frostburg to !BOOM! flurries and snowshowery by Frostburg on westward to all afternoon flurries near Keyser Ridge (since noon). No snow otg heading west of Cumberland. First snow otg at Frostburg. Tuesday morning update from Grantsville/2800’ up — Flurried all night. Ongoing heavier snow showers this morning coated car. 16°. WSW issued for Wed night 4-8” and mention of possible blizzard conditions. https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=MDZ001&warncounty=MDC023&firewxzone=MDZ001&local_place1=Grantsville MD&product1=Winter+Storm+Watch&lat=39.697&lon=-79.1572 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 Had to run to Johnson City TN this morning. Sounds far but only 210 miles from where I live. Snowed off and on for the last 90 miles. Some places had over an inch. Pic is near Mt Rodgers on I81. Accidental chases are the best lol 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazzo83 Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 Low of 30F again at DCA. 27F here in the alpine areas of the District. I have noticed that, in the absence of a northerly wind, the temp basically bottoms out around 1:00 to 1:30am and is pretty steady until sunrise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun part of the afternoon disco for the mountains: In the mountains, blizzard conditions are becoming likely for most areas along and west of the Allegheny Front. Very cold air and a deep moisture connection to the Great Lakes will set the stage for a potent snow squall event along the Allegheny Front. Forecast snow amounts between Wednesday night and Thursday morning are between 4 and 6 inches with potentially higher amounts up to around 9 inches along the western-facing slopes above 2500 feet. In most of the Alleghenies, winds likely gust well above 35-40 mph. With an air mass this cold, the snow/liquid ratios are going to be very high, leading to a fine, powdery snow. This paired with the aforementioned wind gusts could lead to whiteout conditions at times. Treacherous travel conditions are likely in the mountains Thursday morning. Even after snow ends, the blowing snow will make travel difficult at best through Thursday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 I’m watching an area near TX/LA coast- when Mongolian cold is helping that area is a great snow producer source region. Looks like it wants to stay south but I’ll watch it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb@MAWS Posted December 3 Share Posted December 3 Sitting tight in a cabin in Keysers Ridge/Grantsville area (2800’) 10mi NE of Accident, waiting for tomorrow night’s snow and possible blizzard conditions. Western snow forecast zones are tightly packed so could get anything from 1-3” … to 5-8”. No grass in sight here. Still have a solid 3” otg from last week’s 15” snowfall. Monday hi 20 — flurries all day Today’s hi 22 — Coating of snow on car this morning. Light constant snowshowers/flurries all day but for 2 hours of partial sun late morning, otherwise flurries. Even when it’s not really snowing there seems to be plenty of wispy flakes passing by. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
