    lol I’ve probably been bald longer than you’ve been alive. But I’m sure as heck not gonna worry about getting shut out in 2024-25 just yet.

    1995-96 was a moderate Nina and Baltimore had a 60”+ winter. 1999-2000 was a strong Nina and had three great weeks of winter including a blizzard. There just aren’t any absolutes in weather.

    Having lived through a few winters like that, I can assure you I am that much of a weenie.

    I measured 15” on 3/21/2018. Biggest snow ever in all of my 60 birthdays on that date

    First one was on the 24th and dropped 3-6” across the area. The one on the 28th looked huge on satellite in the SE but could never consolidate. I think we ended with 3-4” after it snowed lightly all day and finally started to accumulate well after dark.

    I texted my son who’s a Cowboys fan. His immediate response: “thank God he’s out of Dallas!”

    Interesting that while the suburbs were in the 20’s overnight, this area never fell below 40. I guess cloud cover was the culprit.

    Pretty sure it was a cutter. Indiana and Ohio got dumped on. For our area it just loaded up a bunch more water weight onto snow-covered roofs. I had a large warehouse in PG County at that time, and the roof sagged a couple of feet. ETA: a big-time severe outbreak in the SE also. https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/archive/event.php?date=20030222

    Less than four days after the snow ended in Feb 2003, another storm dropped 2.50-3.00” of rain.

    The one near-miss from that part of the calendar that still bothers me is March 1-2, 1980. The DC-BALT corridor pulled off a 4-6” snowfall with temps in the upper teens, but eastern NC up to the Tidewater of VA had 1-2 feet with similar temps. https://www.weather.gov/mhx/Mar011980EventReview

    Twice. Had he taken the two field goals he would have had a chance with 3:00 left.

    1.25” overnight. 5.23” now for January. 12.15” total since the drought “broke” 10 weeks ago.

    I chased to Virginia Beach in early January 2017. Stayed in a cabin at First Landing State Park. Would highly recommend. The rangers actually shoveled us out. There was a blizzard warning in effect and winds on the beach were over 55 mph. Plows were running and with a four wheel drive vehicle I had no difficulty getting around.

    Chatting with a friend in Taiwan. It was warmer in DC today than it was in his yard at 22°N latitude.
  16. WVclimo
    Looks like you’re correct. The current location started reporting in 1951 and missed the record warm days from the 30’s and 1950. Highest at BWI before now was 75.

    Been checking records for this area today. MRB had an 80 degree January day in 1932. I would have guessed DC would have done it before now.
  18. WVclimo
    71 at Martinsburg. Way short of the record for the date of 79, set in 1950.
  19. WVclimo
    53/49 with fog and drizzle

    I gotta disagree with you on this one. The people who constantly complain on this forum are much worse than the people who object to it.

    Nothing new for us. I went back as far as 1970 and found only 10 years where the high temperature for January did not reach 60 at DCA. Five of those years, the month topped out at 59, once at 58 and once at 57. About a third of those years there were days that reached 70+.

    Temps went above freezing here last hour. First time in over 210 hours. That period averaged 11° below normal during climatologically the coldest time of the year.
  23. WVclimo
    4° right now. Coldest morning of the season.
  24. WVclimo
    Some flurries blowing around this morning. 22°.

    Midnight high of 22. Afternoon high of 21
