We're still holding onto 1-2" snow depth here in the lowlands...but we DO still have it, which is a miracle of sorts for us. Currently at our forecasted high of 28. After an MLK week with snow on the ground most of the week, two full daytime's worth of snow falling, and a decent squall line blowing through last Sunday...this has been one of the most satisfying winter weeks we've had in these parts in awhile. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WEATHER53 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Our scenarios brings us back to DCA. Right now in the wind and snow cover DCA is1-2 degrees differing from its surrounds. So we conclude from this snd past experience that wind homogenizes the situation. But, on a snow covered clear and windless night DCA will be 10+ degrees milder. Where is the warmth coming from?. Not the ground, it’s got 6” snow on it, not the surrounds as they are snow covered also. Are buildings leeching out that much heat? Improbable. So gonna lay it all in the Potomac? Go ahead. I don’t. DCA is not a NWS facility but rather FAA. FAA wants conditions around the runway for the planes. Something about that is likely the culprit where wind has an effect on smoothing temps but radiational with low or no winds is artificially hampered..

I keep going and stacking the wet snow from the road onto my end of driveway piles. They should turn into concrete overnight and be there for weeks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low of 18 here, looks like high is going to be 25-26. A bit warmer at the airport - high of 28 with a low of 23 (so far). I think we'll both set the low for today later tonight.
