UMD has added a micronet to the Maryland Mesonet for College Park. Early results show a clear UHI.

I don't know if it is the metro or what. Obviously, it's probably even worse now than when I went there since the school and especially surrounding area has become far more built up than it was in the early and mid 2000's. But you would think with some of the green space there that it would help mitigate some of it.

It’s definitely more fun when everybody gets blasted, and those storms seem more likely to be the synoptic monsters that drop a ton of snow anyway. Personally I’m never just rooting for a storm to hit me, I want to see it blanket the entire stretch from DC to BOS. I know that’s rare, we’re talking fantasy ideals. 

But those are the most fun storms. Get everybody in on the action, and it becomes a major and truly memorable event.

Isn’t the elevation around campus between 100’ and 200’ above sea level ?  I lived in College Park for several years, near the beltway, and I think my yard was under 300’.

i would not really focus on the ICON's thermals lmao

Because it’s been so cold otherwise lately. Snark aside it was just an observation. It’s Jan 7. We’re 10 days into a better pattern by then. Perfect storm track. Ya the icon thermals are probably a couple degrees too warm, and that would still be marginal for DC and that’s sad with that track on Jan 7.
