I'm too lazy to look up the average dates of first freezes for DCA and RIC. I see quite a few going with the first freeze occurring at RIC before DCA. I know DCA has its issues, but on average does RIC really see a freeze before DCA? I don't understand this.

RIC can have good radiational cooling conditions during late fall. DCA will always struggle. RIC airport is east of the city in an area that doesn't have a bunch of urban development. East of the airport is mostly undeveloped.

RIC: 10/31

DCA: 11/13

IAD: 10/13
