I don't think DC proper reaches freezing at all, but outside of the beltway good chance of that. Either way, if we're lucky enough to get sustained rates for more than two hours, we should be good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, 3-5" is a reasonable forecast, or 2-4" if being conservative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Pixee Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 For all the DC yappin' gone off the rails...just thought I'd post up this ditty. Bears reminding based on where you are. "The highest natural elevation in the District is 409 feet (125 m) above sea level at Fort Reno Park in upper northwest Washington. The lowest point is sea level at the Potomac River. The geographic center of Washington is near the intersection of 4th and L Streets NW." Topographic map below. DC is a combo of appalachian ridge and plains. Like a bowl, edges are high, middle part low. Mt parents and grandparents said the mall was swampy at one time. I saw an old pic of cows grazing on the WH lawn! Crazy stuff. NW is large areas of high elevation. SE is a staircase that keeps going up and most of the streets are hills in all directions. My neighbors can sit on their front porch and see the Cathedral in NW clear as a bell. On Howard road SE you have a clear site line to the monument like its a mile away. Wild. We now return to your regularly scheduled snow channel... 7 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Real serious radar returns. Unless it’s moving over 60mph I don’t see a mere 4 hours. Well may be 4 hours of 0.5”+ with 2 hours if 1-2”ph but not started and done in 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We now return to your regularly scheduled snow channel... "High elevation" being a relative term...but yeah people forget upper NW is quite hilly. If you go to Fort Reno Park they have a little placeholder for the highest elevation point in dc. It's...underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Man, this thread is hashing the details! Speaking of which, you all should hear the descriptions that @Scraff has for beers. It’s next level stuff. Staying on thread topic, it’s partly blurry and warm here, but lights out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
