Why are some people calling for a torch in mid February? I followed the link to BAM weather. I clearly don't follow them. It sort of feels like a good analogy of our political climate. Someone says wintry, the other says torch.
I’ve been keeping an eye on this one, because I feel like we have been lucky this year. And mostly because DT says no snow for the Mid Atlantic Sunday-Monday. Realistically, PSU and colder will get lucky, but I can hope for a fluke southern trend.
Getting 2 over-performers this week is making me pretty optimistic for the rest of winter. El Niño winters tend to be Jan to March, from what I've learned from the experts around here. The models are also not doing well in the long-range. They will likely show something completely different next week.
i didn’t expect so much on the ground by the time I got up. It’s a beautiful snow! It looks to be at least 2-3, but I haven’t measured yet. Light pixie dust for now. Fairfax/Herndon
I am assuming it was more about the cold temperatures than the snow amounts, but I heard that they measured about 4" at National airport. I was shocked. Historically DC schools often stay open when all the other systems close. I don't think they have buses so all the kids walk to school.
