For DC a round one always saps energy from round two. Plus no 75+ temps . Dead calm is what I did not want to see and it’s been windy thus homogenizing things. Seems like school spokespeople engaged in forecasting of a melodramatic nature and they shouldn’t
Any earlier day stuff always saps the strength of the later day stuff around DC. If this is one line only later afternoon then it’s bad here. 60mph gusts+ 50/50
And I’ve recounted my narrative in leaving Beltsville about 5pm at 62 and returning around 8pm in blinding snow snd 32. Ushered in the great 1995-96 winter
Yes there have gotta be a lot of records like that. My temp spiked to 75 by 4am and 1pm 9 hours later Daytime it’s 33!and heavy snow. Many of those sort of things likely were exceeded by yesterday to today .
1.5” here although it snowed at rate of 1.5”ph for two hours. Radiance was really well minimized but still 2-3 degrees too mild. I think Richmond hit 89 yesterday and at same time this afternoon it was 33 and heavy snow
Next interesting time will be 3pm when radiance is dropping fast and then dark after that. Something is forming off outer banks and gulf fetch is mixing in. Let’s see if we can get more south to north move and stay in this longer
Just insane
3/11 1pm ob-72F headed to high of 83
3/12. 1pm ob-35F moderate to heavy snow . All areas covered and near 0.5” in full shade spots
can’t remember another one like this
I think for benchmarking that this can work that DcA/BWI need to be down to 50-55 by 1am and 35 at 8am. 40+ after8am won’t get enough evaporational to make it work
I’m close to BWI total more than others with 18” . Kemp Mill MD. Elevation 406 .Snowcrete was epic and cold extreme so A+ there. Early December snow nice,Christmas too mild but cold month . Rest of snows a C+ It’s an A winter for me
That band is drying up and the nice mass around Charleston going to be too warm by when gets here, Precip has never entirely cut off here and at times that a good sign . How are the 850’s ?
