mitchnick Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Ah, I get what you're comparing now. The snow started on 12/18 when it was already below freezing, though, and the temp fell to 28 F at BWI within an hour of onset and then stayed in the mid-20's for the entire duration of the storm. I guess that might not be cold for a Baltimore-area storm, but for a DC major snowstorm, that definitely counts as on the colder side. believe me, any time it stays all snow for a BWI snow, it counts as a cold one what I had in mind was a major snow event where temps hit low-mid 30's on the day of the snow that's what I envision for this year around I95 vs. a number of the storms from last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I am going to get away with this completely scot-free. I'll see some light freezing rain and a few pingers, but 1) I am at 34 degrees. temps will NOT fall this far east. 2) Ground is relatively warm. Have fun, western parts of Virginia at 3000 foot elev! Don't even TRY to jebwalk on all that ice. By tomorrow at 9am, I'll be above freezing with regular rain. A nuisance, but tires don't slide on regular rain. This is no time to be livin' in the mountains. I am at 34.9 degrees with some regular drizzle. Objects are dripping. I am almost three degrees above freezing.
