5-4-3DP Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Leaving for work at 330 this morning and walked outside to white grounds and a fairly moderate snow shower in Hampstead. Surprised for sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Sitting at 22° so DCA will be warmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Must have been a brief snow shower here overnight. Skiff of snow on the deck and car. 20 currently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb@MAWS Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Columbia 7am. 18°. Sun not yet up so a little time for temp to lower some more. Kinda expected a lower temp this morning considering clear skies and light winds and low 20s at bedtime Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GramaxRefugee Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 22f. No snow for us; home nor work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterFire Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Looks like the lowest 5-min obs at DCA is 21, which with the weird Fahrenheit to Celsius back to Fahrenheit could also be 22. No teens still, and my guess is that the >=22 streak lives on too… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Periphery of a legit arctic airmass that passed over fully snowcovered terrain and we get a low temp that’s maybe 6F below normal? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like even a few years ago an airmass like this would push everyone down into the teens if not single digits, even in the urban areas. They just don't have the same punch they used to...

pazzo83 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 NYC (15F at Central Park and 18F at LGA) and BOS (8F) got colder, obviously. But not too long ago a straight shot of arctic air coming over snow-cover would push NYC below 10 and BOS near zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a couple of cold days in 2019. 21 was my lowest daily high, and 6 was the low. The 2020 and 2021 Januarys were straight torches, however.

Chris78 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Still 12 degrees above 1500' up in the Catoctins of Northern Frederick county at 10am. Going to be a struggle to reach 20 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterFire Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I keep checking the 5-min obs to see when DCA is gonna DCA the afternoon high temp. Been holding steady at 28 (which could be 28 or 29) since about 1, with a dewpoint fluctuating between 1 and 3. As a side note, I don't think I disagree with Judah Cohen on this statement: Radiational cooling at DCA has been tough and getting tougher. Dynamic cooling...you could make the argument that a big issue is that we just haven't had that many opportunities in the last few years, which has helped the sub-30 streak for highs go on as long as it has (while the sub-32 streak wasn't all that far off from "expected"). Anyway, salivation aside for next weekend's potential, it does look like a mighty cold airmass lurking around. Maybe the streak will end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterFire Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Welp looks like DCA DCA'd it...3:30pm obs was 30. We'll see if that ends up being accurate but unless there's some weird rounding error, looks like we'll record a high of 30 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
