I got 89-90 also and 95-96. It’s interesting this season that a lot of occurred event analogs from this year are matching to positive outcome producing years in the past

What time and what portion of sky is best? Low in the horizon?

At least that little low that pops up for a bit is moving across extremecl northern Georgia which usually helps us

Andrews jumped 7.7 in an hour.

95 and 2010 have shown up in analogs . One blockbuster and one not so much. The cold looks pretty consistent but the snows are either huge or not so much with other comparison years

With blowing and drifting leaves

I’ve had a temp spike up to 38 with cloud cover

Radar has light over the area so this was a good prediction

How far down is it making it?

45 for a high at 2pm and sun could do no more 10 degrees colder than my previous low max i remember these Arctic fronts blowing thru at this time of year and staying windy all night. Good things usually follow for 45 or so days

Low of 29 which is coldest of season and winds keep up and homogenized DCA operational bias and kept them consistent with other nearby stations with a DCA low of 31

10:30 down to 35 and still eindy, 30.5 is my low for season and 40 coldest at midnight which is already eclipsed.

6:45on TPA update : 38.2F

Hey don’t you miss a tent with -15 air temps and windy???

Temperature Plunge Advisory in effect 48 for a high which is coldest high of the season by 8 degrees! Dropped to 42 by sunset and 40 at 5:30pm

Unreal pictures from back then with people well out into the bay and cars on the ice at mouth of south river into the bay. You could not tell where the land ended and the ice began it did moderate in Feb

I tied my low record at -5 in 1982

1976 late Dec thru Jan 1977 persistent unending cold for over a month. I think DCA hit 32 for a low for 30 consecutive days DCA was like 26F for the monthly average 1979 Very snowy and very cold 1982 Bsck to back cold Sundays . Many records set 1985-Inaguration day and week one of coldest ever. -2 air temp and 30 mph sustained coldest wind chill ever experienced personally by me 1989 late Nov thru Dec Incredibly cold record setting period. Nothing close to Dec 89 in temps since then 1994 -Jan largely considered the granddaddy of cold days and several brutal cold shots 2007 Feb . Very mild Dec and Jan then -7 Feb with incredible lake effect snow. Coldest daytime wind chill for me of -15 on Lake Ontario with 10F and 40mph winds. 5-7’ of accumulated snow everywhere and not drifts. Those were 10+’ There are some others since then so please add them or any others from the time period I used.

Yes

1982 is highly underrated. Those consecutive cold Sundays were bitter cold and record setters!

It’s not scientific but it is reality for DC/ -15 departures are hard to come by and it’s a waste at this time in Nov. if it’s the beginning of a near constant 30-45 day reload pattern then that’s different but usually not the case The main thing we need turned around us the absence of Miller As. second and in conjunction are clippers cutting under us pulling down reinforcing cold air . whatever causes those two is what I want to see in projections mjo and SSW stuff to me is unproven. The two circumstances referenced above are proven

We are coming up in the truely neglected Veterans Day 1987 where DCA did a rare thing and led the way for the area airports

0.30 from the rain

The angle of the moderate rain around DC I want to see in a month when it’s 25.

Low of 30.5 so coldest low of season
