Surprising result at IAD and notice how winds were either calm or No sourthely component like  previous 33-34 overnight lows.

i predicted 10/22 for IAD

its going to be mild for a while with next cold push 11/3-11/7

 

 

 

 

I predicted 11/4-5 for the rest, while I was off for IAD by 5 days.

Seems like the Sunday-Tuesday period is going to score for BWI and RIC. DCA maybe not a lock yet, but euro and GGEM both have widespread 20s for lows which would probably be a sufficient airmass for DCA too.

If I'm doing the calculations correctly via your spreadsheet, Yoda is looking good if we can get a nice cold snap to hit all of the sites Mon-Tue.  I would win via tiebreaker on Sunday, but that seems pretty unlikely with the timing.

If BWI and RIC reach on Monday and DCA on Tuesday, then @yoda will win followed by you and @GramaxRefugee.  Collectively not our best showing for sure relative to past years.

Freeze watch up for most of MD that hasn’t had a freeze yet except the lower eastern shore. BWI and RIC still probably hit 32 Monday or Tuesday am. But cold shot next Friday-Saturday looks like a hard freeze for everyone outside of downtown DC with widespread mid 20s.

Whoa, apologies for not announcing this before.  With DCA reaching freezing on 11/18, that actually gave @yoda and @MN Transplant a tie with 17 days total departure.  @GramaxRefugee comes in 3rd with 18 days.  But @MN Transplanthit the tiebreaker of 81F exactly right and thus is the winner!  Congrats!
