Another beautiful day.  Disappointed not to see at least a little bit of rain last night, though.  This unrelenting dryness is unlike any I can recall.  This certainly only applies probably to a 20 mile radius from mby, but 2010 and 1988 may have been outdone.  It's surprising how many trees are changing color and dropping leaves.

While up here isn't as bad as where you're at, it's certainly dry. The trees are dropping leaves and changing here as well.

w-nw breezes blow thru Crystal City and over to DCA, distorting temps by 5-8 degrees. How can consistent, uniform nw breezes at 10-15 mph allow for DCA to be 8 degrees warmer than nearby Andrews. The answer is-It Cannot and Does Not.  The e-mails I send to NOAA and FAA are just unreal, no one cares, it's only there for airplanes anyway. Tragic really but a global warmers paradise.

I emailed Sterling..usually you're wrong on the DCA issue, but today the 80 degree reading has absolutely no support

I hope this winter we get a uniform 8" snow cover throughout entire DC metro. Everything, roads, ground, parking lots, rooftops, sidewalks, buildings-, everything. At that point, the only heat radiance for the so called "heat island" would be what can radiate out of the sides of buildings and I gotta think that would be minimal. Under those condtions, I can predict that BWI/Annapolis/Andrew/Ft Belvoir will be 23 and DCA will be 30 and then let someone try and justify that.

Snow still won't accumulate on the river.
