Bummer. All of the excitement and now it looks like the Holiday temps are going to stay in the mid to upper 50's for VA. Not cool! (pun intended).

Do you know what kind of storm it will be on the 27th? Would it be a rain or snow storm? Would it hit my home town of Syracuse NY?

the coastline is beat up several high tides would be a problem. We could see up to 10 high tide cycles...not good here as you know John.

More like shattered haha. Still upset that should have been here. Damn it.

Not much snow accumulation on the ground down here in South Jersey (Washington Twp area). Coating in some spots, I never saw anything sticking to the roads. As I suggested just prior to the storm, the ground was way too warm. Since the temp didn't get much colder than 31° for a few hours last night, that didn't help. But no matter, we've gotten our first taste of snow for the season. Hopefully this is not the main course, but rather just the appetizer! :)

Rob, what's causing that stubborn wedge of warm air aloft over NE Maryland, and northern, DE?

Jim the cold air came from the strong forcing leading to dynamic cooling. And the dry air being overcome by the precip leading to evaporational cooling. This process did not happen to the west resulting in the warmer temps.
