@jonjon Do the conditions warrant? The Canaan Heights station almost always gets half again as much snow as I do (I get 4, he gets 6. I get 10, he gets 15 etc) and seeing the 10 inch report this morning shocked me. I might have had 3 max. The sun was out all day here with just pedestrian blowing snow that didn't impact visibility at all. 

It has been really windy here (but that happens all the time in winter).  Its tough to tell how much it snowed with all the drifting, but I would have guessed 6-8 inches here in town, which makes 10 inches a reasonable possibility since he's up on the ridge.

It seems like we would have had many more blizzard warnings over the years if these count. Although these storms have been nice events, they are hardly that unusual.

How do they get the ability to out these in various properties?  It’s a stellar effort 

As @wxmeddler mentioned, it's a team effort. We've had a lot of success partnering with organizations like volunteer fire departments, schools, and parks. This infrastructure is easily deployed and folks can realize a tangible benefit almost immediately.

Today could be the rare day with a midnight high and midnight low! BWI was 45 last night at midnight and temp will likely slowly drop overnight.

Rain showers. Nice weather to squeeze in between two periods of cold.

Yea, but what’s important is that it’s also windy…this way outdoor activities are limited and we can spend more time tracking the 10 day ensembles.

28. 5 here and still really gusty but sustained  a bit more settled now at 20-25. Wind chills 13-19

[WEATHER53]

Talked about this

DCA is now 0-2F from others . Strong  winds mixes it up so no radiational is necessary.  Interesting..

yep - DCA is like Central Park (KNYC).  It takes the cold air advection to really cool it down.

Of course, now that the wind is lighter the urban areas are holding steady (27F here in Tenleytown, 30F at DCA).

About 20 minutes after posting this above, I took the kids to the bus stop and we had a small snow shower. That makes four Traces on the season!

How many traces does it take to get a trash can topper?

Was wondering if those radar echoes were producing. Nothing here though.

Could be @psuhoffmans 3rd or 4th accumulating event? According to my calculations, that many accumulating events by December 6th means we get a HECS in January.

I’m surprised too, figured it was too dry… 27/18

[Stormchaserchuck1]

[Weather Will]

[WVclimo]

Flurries here.  Third time this week.  27°.

[wxdude64]

I can literally count the snowflakes as they drift by lol. Currently 19.1/9.7 with mostly cloudy skies and those drifting flakes. 

[87storms]

Flurries flying here

[dailylurker]

Completely clear here. I can't even see the clouds to the NW that are producing snow flurries. Interesting

Low 28. Some near-shore ice on the Bush River.

I wasn't sure if it was flurries or ash from the fires until I got down to Ellicott City.

[DDweatherman]

Snowing this morning pretty good, road is just about covered. 6th time it’s snowed already this winter. Been good for seeing flakes fly at least even though YTD is 2.5”

[Herb@MAWS]

Grantsville, Md: Friday morning 9am

Snowed all Thursday night, light but steady. 1” additional this morning. Temp 16°.
 

Total since Wednesday approx 5”-7.5” depending on where you are.  Light snow continuing this morning.

Herb I’m thinking you will be 9F at dark

How’s the heat in the cabin ?

Good heat and plenty of wood. Temp bottomed out at about 12°. Not much temperature movement. Winds have died down this morning. Never saw blizzard or whiteout conditions. 

[Eskimo Joe]
