Frost ice or precip ice?

IAD down to 23F.

Any thunder/lightning?

Another year over. A new one begun. What weather event stood out most to you? 2022 was not too memorable IMBY (again). One memorable event that I will point out that occurred IMBY in 2022 was the wake-low of January 16th, 2022. In the 10pm hour that night, climaxing between 10:30-10:45pm, I experienced ENE winds that were gusting upwards of 50 mph or so as a solid shield of moderate rain lifted northeastwards and the surface air pressure dropped several mbs in under an hour. I'm sure people such as @MN Transplant can look back at their data at that impressive pressure drop. Curious to hear what you all have to say about this past year. I know some of you got whacked by summer storms.

A Vibrant Sunset Advisory has been issued for the Greater Baltimore/DC Metropolitan region in effect from 4:50pm until 5:30pm est Wednesday, January 4, 2023. High clouds are clearing out to the west of the Blue Ridge Mountains with limited lower-level clouds to the WSW into southern WV. As sunlight reflects off of the base of the high clouds vibrant sunset colors may appear. The most vibrant part of the sunset will be between 5:00pm and 5:15pm. Forecaster Wannabe: George BM

A record is just about certain at IAD (51F is the record high min for 1/4 there). DCA RHM (1/4): 60F (slight chance) BWI RHM (1/4): 61F (non-zero chance) Just wonder exactly when tomorrow nights cold front moves through.

What I was referencing earlier.

Off the top of my head, Jan 21, 2007 was the first measurable snow event for DC that season. It went on to actually be okay. The obvious caveat being that it was a Nino winter.

@psuhoffman Don't know whether you saw this yet... but there's something potentially "eye-opening?" I saw on twitter (yes I know don't shoot me yet) about mid-latitude (30-60N) SSTs over the last nearly century and a half for Nov-Dec.

Let there be excitement this month... preferably in the form of that good white stuff.

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.

66/40 at IAD.

Seems to be coming in slowly. Out to HR84 atm.

You chasing?

Just me being Curious George but does anyone know what the current GLAAM state is? I'm guessing that it must be higher(more +) than one would normally expect given the Nino-like pattern in a low-end moderate Nina?

And... so ye anti-carrites don't kill me for my bias ... MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!

A fellow young man of culture I see . Merry Christmas to you!

IAD down to 7F so far.

Very true. I'm actually talking about the lows areawide in general though. Ex: IAD forecast low was 7F. With wind we'd usually end up at ~9F give or take a degree (courtesy of mixing). I'm just happy to be fully performing with something other than heat lol.

Well I'll be... we're, for once, actually at the least hitting the forecasted lows with a bit of wind. We are usually end up a few degrees above forecast... nice.

11/15/2022: T (sleet) 12/10/2022: T (sleet) 12/22/2022: T (rain w/little SN/IP mixed in) 12/23/2022: T (30 sec graupel squall. The following hour... 5-10min SN/SN+) Snow totals as of 12/23/2022: T

At 18F IAD has now snagged it coldest temp thus far this season.

Hope you recover quick! Good thing this is indoor weather w/ bitter cold + no snow... well for me anyways.

Do you have power back yet?

IAD gusted up to 48kts (55mph) this hour.
