  1. 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
  2. It appeared somewhere else also i I think that was last time DCA had 6”+ all 4 months DJFM
  3. If asked im sorry Whats this snow in Hawaii usually look like for continental USA 15-45 days from now?
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. People will defend DCA to the death
  7. Low of 34 and coldest of season. Lots of 31-34 around area
  8. 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?????
  9. Much milder with a low of 48 and currently 77.5
  10. For me a low of 38 and a high of 77.
  11. Some spots probably get a 40 degree swing from this mornings lows to afternoon highs.
  12. Frederick house went from 76 at 4 to 46 at 10. From thrilling to chilling
  13. 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.
  14. 35 for a low Glad I double covered the tropical hibiscus and when it turns cold again will bring inside
  15. I’m wearing long pants at night so I caved also
  16. Went below 50 at 8:05 which was earliest of season 46.5 at 11pm
  17. Started couple days ago I agree. Don’t know if it’s relocation or other changes.
  18. High of 61.8 3 degrees higher than yesterday
  19. Below 50 at 9:10 so earliest of season 48.5 at 10pm
  20. High of 58.4 so first sub 60 high Between dampness and chilly indoor humidity reached 65% for a day and stayed 55-60% for a week. Colder and drier air plus heat has its now down to 48%
  21. Turned the heat on as barely made it to 60 for a high yesterday at 60.4 and won’t make it today overnight low of 42
  22. Earliest sub 50 at 9:25pm Currently 48.7
