Saturday December 6
The second winter weather event in a week was the one that left a true impact. This was the first snow of the season for Baltimore and the first measurable snow above a trace in December since 2020.
The December 5th snow matched the kick off of winter snow with most of the winters between 2002 and 2011.
I was all ready to call this a victory, but for some areas the snow kept falling all Friday into Saturday Morning.
While the final snow map matched up very well with my official call for snowfall, there were some mistakes I made.
My brief account here will include many local snow maps and a list of all the spotter reports from NWS Baltimore/Washington region.
What I did wrong:
- My first call was for snow Friday Afternoon to Evening. I adjusted this to morning with a full day notice ahead of time.
- I expected the snow to fade during the afternoon based on the HRRR model. Instead light snow lasted overnight and into the morning.
- Freezing Drizzle was expected with the Second Winter Weather Advisory Friday night. Instead the air remained cold enough for more snow that brought a coating to 1 inch to some.
What I did right:
- My Call For snowfall was close to perfect. You can compare below.
- I expected impact on the roads in the morning near and South of Rt 70. This ended up being a bigger problem for metro Washington and Frederick City to southern Carrol County.
- So how did I do? I am once again reserving the prime voting to my Facebook Post where it is easiest to log.
Computer Model Notes
- This was generated by a jet streak we mapped coming out of the Southern Rockies for a couple of days.
- This did track a little north as we got closer.
- The HRRR Model did a better job with the north end on Friday, but ended the snow too soon.
- The NAM 3Km Model expanded the snow too far north, but did a better job with the lingering moisture later in the day.
- The late night resurgence of snow/freezing rain was a late call.

RESTATING MY MESSAGE ABOUT DYSLEXIA
I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos and occasional other glitches. I take responsibility for my mistakes and even the computer glitches I may miss. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here, you may have missed it: I have dyslexia and found out during my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree and being the first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. One of my professors told me that I had made it that far without knowing and to not let it be a crutch going forward. That was Mark Wysocki, and he was absolutely correct! I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. I can also make mistakes in forecasting. No one is perfect at predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky. There has been no editor who can check my work while writing and to have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to edit typos when she is available. That could be AFTER you read this. I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me… It’s part of my charm. #FITF
