WEATHER53

I agree it will be a bit better than last year which was better than year before it’s going to be two days normal, 3-4 days above to well above, 2 very cold and quickly back to normal for day 3.

High of 53.3 and now 51 Easily coldest high so far Will be under 50 before dark for first time

31 for a low and 3 hours at 31/32

Earliest below 50 at 6:20 But I’ve got clouds and it’s holding at 45.5 at 10pm

We have been presented upgrade after upgrade last 10 years with no improvement in outcome. The microscope approach does not work yet they keep saying they have upgraded the resolution

High of 58.2 which is coolest with sunshine this season. 54 currently. I’ve had an inordinate number of Hugh’s ranging 60-62 over last 2-3 weeks

0.27”

So many tried and true methods have struggled and me too. I think this winter will be a bit better than last. Like maybe two weeks of winter and not just one. No garish 1-5” wipe out but 12-15” seems right

It appeared somewhere else also i I think that was last time DCA had 6”+ all 4 months DJFM

If asked im sorry Whats this snow in Hawaii usually look like for continental USA 15-45 days from now?

In my 45 year observation of DCA the discrepancy between it and BWI and Camp Springs and my station is as follows for spring, fall and winter. Clear, windless night with average or lower humidity = +7 to +12. Cloudy =+5 to +10 Rain-=+4 to +8 Raging snowstorm=+3 to +4 Vey windy: 20 gusting to 40 all night+2 to +3 , There are a lot of theories. . I have lived it for decades

Except that when the River is frozen it still happens . When it’s snowing heavily throughout the entire area it still happens. When it’s quite windy it is much less in order on of 1-3 degrees because the air mixes So something g there is preventing both radiation and mixing and it’s not the river nor the GW parkway. Couple of local guys who live in apartments can’t mix or radiate either because they don’t have a lot fir their equipment but rather a patio/balcony . The thermometer at DCA Is accurate for the 8’ by 8’ area which it occupies which is skewed. 50’feet away entirely different and Stan Rossen deployed many thermometers in a test about 25 years ago and consistently measured 5-10 degrees cooler as close as200’ away

People will defend DCA to the death

Low of 34 and coldest of season. Lots of 31-34 around area

Will you guarantee that like what was an absolute guarantee here last year that winter weather would return after that one Jan shot and Never Did here? Somehow NHC can predict within 50 miles 5 days out where a hurricane will hit but NWS can’t get path of a low pressure in winter correct at 2 days out?????

82 for the high

Much milder with a low of 48 and currently 77.5

Wonder if a 45 shows up

For me a low of 38 and a high of 77.

Some spots probably get a 40 degree swing from this mornings lows to afternoon highs.

Frederick house went from 76 at 4 to 46 at 10. From thrilling to chilling

I’m bit more optimistic than when I wrote 6 weeks ago. Late summer and early fall analogs show some 2018-19 matchings. I said last winter I thought it would be a little bit better than 2022-23 and 2023-24 was and I think this year a tad better still than 2023-24 So will go with 12.5” DCA, 15-17” for IAD and BWI.

35 for a low Glad I double covered the tropical hibiscus and when it turns cold again will bring inside

I’m wearing long pants at night so I caved also

Went below 50 at 8:05 which was earliest of season 46.5 at 11pm
