Winter Event For December 2, 2025

8:21am 12/1/25

Welcome to meteorological winter as we hit December 1st. Meteorological winter runs December through February. The first morning of meteorological winter is feeling like winter and feeling like December and we have a winter event on the way.

●Temps out there this morning:

Ranging from the 10s on the Wv high ground to 20s elsewhere. Windchills running 0 to 10 Wv tops, 10-20 elsewhere.

●With the cold temps, area resorts have resumed snowmaking.

This has warranted Winter Weather Advisories across a large portion of the country and some of those are for snow accumulations meeting ,and or wintry mix. The Alleghenies will be placed over that zone. Precip pushes in after midnight tonight. Likely 1-2am. From Garrett/Preston/Allegany County and north this looks like primarily snow, however some pings of sleet may be mixed in at the onset as the entire column cools. Primary snow period 4-am to 8am. Areas south of Garrett, more sleet, wintry mix is likely for a few hours and that too should transition to snow. A quick moving event, a relatively light to moderate event, losing a few hours of snow with wintry mix will obviously reduce accumulations.

From Garrett County and north in to Pa the initial and main event looks like a 2-5″ event(leaning low to mid range with a good performance grabbing the high end) For the Wv high ground 1-3″ for the main event. Leaning low to mid range with a good performance grabbing the high end.

Let’s look at some of the modeling and snowfall output.

●Modeled snowfall amounts.

This includes the main event and some additional light upslope across the Alleghenies shortly after the system pulls away. That can add an additional coating to 1″.

●Liquid Equivalent Amounts

Euro putting out .25 to .50 liquid.

GFS, a bit more juiced up .35 to .70

Thoughts on snowfall totals through Wednesday 7am

Johnstown, Blue Knob, Somerset, Meyersdale, Salisbury, Springs, 7Springs, Addison, Ft.Necessiyy, Mt.Davis, Grantsville, Bittinger, Mchenry, Cranesville, Terra Alta 3-6″.

Morgantown, Frostburg, Lavale, Cumberland, Flintstone, Keyser, Bedford, Canaan Valley, Davis, Spruce Knob, Snowshoe 2-5″

Elkins, Bartow, Cass, Marlinton , Cherry Grove 1-3″

Again the high ground picks up light additional beyond the main event. That is included in the above tallies. The timing and mix duration will obviously impact high end, low end tallies. Less mix, high end totals. More mix, low end. Timing of the event looks to occur to impact the morning travel on Tuesday across I-68, I-79, I-70 east in Md, the PA Turnpike, Corridor H. Obviously secondary roads throughout the region will require a bit extra time vs normal.

Again, lean low to mid range on tallies, high end with a good performance. Not a major or big event, but widespread and timing makes it a bit more impactful.

The NWS outlook below. A hair under my thoughts, but similar.
