  1. IAD has hit 70F tying the daily record.
  2. IAD's min for today so far is 64F. It was 67F there at 5:30am. IAD currently at 65/62.
  3. I haven't quite gotten there yet telekinetically but I could give it a try.
  4. IAD currently at 57F. Damp.
  5. It's scary how fast time flies these days. Think about how far apart 1st grade and 9th grade felt compared to these last 8 years. Anyway, as many have said countless times already, that was a fun storm and a fun limited production week leading up to it. The skating rink that past Wednesday evening was fun as well.
  6. Just took the trash out to the curb. It's reached that point where 29F w/ a light breeze feels comfortable. IAD got down to 7F this morning.
  7. 12/06/2023: T (brief light graupel (~2:25pm)) 12/11/2023: 0.9" ( Fairly heavy wet snow overnight... heaviest between 2:45 and 3:35am) 1/01/2024: T (Flurries w/ some graupel from late morning into the afternoon before changing to very light rain/drizzle) 1/06/2024: T (Morning sleet w/ few flakes before changing into a cold soaking afternoon rain) 1/14/2024: T (Moderate snow squall around 11am. Some ground whitening at the bottom of fences) 1/15-16/2024: 4.5" (Light snow started in the 2am hour (15th) continued mostly uninterrupted as flurries/light snow rimmed flakes through the day. Picked up to moderate at times between 7-11pm. Some light snow/freezing drizzle continued into the wee hours of the 16th. Freezing drizzle continues as of this morning.) 1/19/2024: 4.1" (Snow started in the 2am hour<-- (sound familiar?) and was moderate to maybe even modestly heavy at times (heaviest rates in the 5am hour (~1"/hr)). Flurries to light snow between 6am and 9am followed by light to occasionally moderate snow between 9am and 11am. Snow slowly tapered down to flurries through the early/mid afternoon before briefly mostly ceasing in the 3pm hour. Moderate snow squalls moved through during the 4pm hour.) 2023-2024 winter total as of Jan 19, 2024: 9.5"
  8. 3.7" here in Herndon. I abscond.
  9. CAMs are hinting at some convective snow showers in that timeframe. So steeper LLLRs and a moist low-level environment would help in that regard.
  10. Just measured 2.8" in Herndon, VA.
  11. 12/06/2023: T (brief light graupel (~2:25pm)) 12/11/2023: 0.9" ( Fairly heavy wet snow overnight... heaviest between 2:45 and 3:35am) 1/01/2024: T (Flurries w/ some graupel from late morning into the afternoon before changing to very light rain/drizzle) 1/06/2024: T (Morning sleet w/ few flakes before changing into a cold soaking afternoon rain) 1/14/2024: T (Moderate snow squall around 11am.

  13. Currently the temperature at IAD is 47F under mainly cloudy skies (low clouds). Conditions: Damp.
  14. Long range HRRR remains insistent on a snow squall w/ the front tomorrow morning across most of the region w/ other CAMs hinting at snow shwrs/squalls as well. It currently appears the farther north you are the better.
  15. A little late but I'll just get right into it. 1.) I'd have to pick to April 1st wind event. Got a couple of NW gusts that night to near 60mph which took out a 15-20ft section of the fence IMBY. 2.) Severe thunderstorm w/ quarter to ping pong ball sized hail, torrential rains and gusty winds on July 14th. The largest hail that I've personally seen in my lifetime so far. 3.) Peak severe season or rather Canadian smoke season as it turned out to be. Just a strangely quiet May/June severe season locally with smoke (whether elevated or at the surface) seemingly every other day. If we got hit the way NYC got hit on June 7th this would probably rank 2nd or possibly 1st place for me. Curious in reading your thoughts about 2023 below... if y'all aren't too busy tracking our next winter threat.
  16. IAD just gusted to 37kts and the temp there has risen to 56F.
  17. Hmmm... HRRR w/ 60mph gusts... interesting. Doubt we gust THAT high locally (stable-layer limiting mixing near the surface, as I know you know) but interesting nonetheless.
  18. 12/06/2023: T (brief light graupel (~2:25pm)) 12/11/2023: 0.9" ( Fairly heavy wet snow overnight... heaviest between 2:45 and 3:35am) 1/01/2024: T (Flurries w/ some graupel from late morning into the afternoon before changing to very light rain/drizzle) 1/06/2024: T (Morning sleet w/ few flakes before changing into a cold soaking afternoon rain) 2023-2024 winter total as of Jan 6, 2024: 0.9"
  19. Very small snowflakes/ice-pellets in Herndon.
  20. Weather in 2024. Hopefully we have some fun events. 38/30 at IAD.
  21. "As this great new year of 2023 begins let it be a year of rewarding yourselves, even if it's a small reward, whenever you make a breakthrough with a goal or a dream that you have. Take great care of yourselves this year and don't be afraid to try that one thing or those things that you've wanted to try out for a long while." Happy New Years! Hopefully you had a great 2023 and treated yourselves a bit. Here's to a great and blessed 2024.
  22. MERRY CHRISTMAS Amwx fam! Hopefully, unlike mine and my family's, yours is Covid free!
