Got outside finally. 5-6” snow depth in most places. 

That's awesome. 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.

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..

Windy, sunny. Snow blowing above from roofs, ice underneath on the ground. Icicles!

24 degrees at 1:30 PM

 

You inspired me, MP, with your icicle pic from the other day...I'm heading out to scout the icicle situation on our house in the next hour or two and hope to capture some...they've definitely been growing today.  ;)

Just went out for a drive. 5-7” snow pack, cold windy blowing snow off roofs, deep winter feel. Soaking it all in before shit the blinds. This is the time to close up your laptops and get the F out there and enjoy winter!

20 degrees and getting breezy.  We're in a neighborhood with small yards, so lots of roofs for snow to blow off of making it look like a squall at times.  Very wintry day!

Same here!  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.

Icicles growing! Put salt down, sheets of ice and slick patches. No trash pickup yet.
