50 currently downtown. LOL. blew past the projected high of 46. Typical DC winter M.O. now... watch it cloud over just in time for sunset and then watch for the 1 degree drop every 4 hours. Will see what wet bulbs are with the low later with the low dews. But it's always just so warm in the immediate metro.

42 right now and never dropped below 40 last night. Yes, dewpoints look great, but in the immediate metro we always lose something because of balmy temps and a period of white rain.

Exactly the same amount the PHL officially recorded. go figure.

DCA needs 2.1 inches to hit double digits for the season. Maybe not an unreasonable down and distance for this event.

Would love to somehow extend this into the evening. The difficulty to accumulate especially on paved surfaces in mid-day is real. Even with cold ground and decent rates. But certainly can't complain. Another overperformer.

Steady light/mod snow at the V.A. on North Capitol and Michigan ave. Streets just wet- I guess between traffic, treatments, and heading to midday would need to be much heavier. But still real nice out!

Here at the VA at North Cap and Michigan Ave as well. Small flakes but decent clip.

Euro would get DCA to its historical average snow for January. Also been 72+ hours straight now at or below freezing. Considering last January low temps hit 35 at 11pm and never budged all night and the obvious lack of snow it's been a pretty nice week. Even better if the 1-2 tomorrow verifies.

Yeah, combo of rates and temp and flake type as well. 3/9/99 was an entirely daytime event and accumulated 8 inches in DC proper b/c it was ripping fatties all day long. 3/5/15 to a lesser extent as well. But tiny flakes with light rates will even have issues in midday in January. At least this week the snowcover and cold should help going in. How this potentially juices up to be something beyond a light event I'll defer to the smart kids here.

As we just learned, even with great temps and January , light rates in daytime don't add up to much.

Was just driving in Wheaton area. Georgia ave mostly wet. Univ Blvd covered and not in good shape, but Arcola mostly wet. Go figure. Probably treatment related. Temp of 28. Rates aren't bad, but not ideal either. Either way need better flakes. Then need the Eagles to get NAM'd later by Tampa.

Besides the bonus snow, maybe even though this isn't sticking it has helped to wash some of the road treatments off and also prevented the usual DCA spike to 42 before a storm.

On a side street that isn't treated, but rates and flake size aren't great... for now.

Steady light snow in Wheaton, but despite a good temp of 27 and mid-January, not sticking but it's high noon and tiny flakes.

Caps PP is the ICON. Always shows the same thing and always sucks.
