I believe you're thinking of Christmas Eve 2022 when the high was 20 but it felt much colder.  The last Arctic outbreak I can remember was January 5 and 6th of 2018 when the high temperature failed to reach 20 in Baltimore.   The last day with a sub-10 high was January 19 of 1994 when the high was 5.  The lowest high ever (3 F) occurred on February 10, 1899 during "the greatest Arctic outbreak in history" according to David Ludlum.  Temperatures fell to 0 F along the beaches of the Gulf Coast and ice flowed from the mouth of the Mississippi River into the Gulf ...  

I remember 1899 very well. Damn was it cold. I had icicles hanging from everywhere.

I think that might be the time that BWI had a high of 18 for three days in a row?

Sorry I was mistaken... it was two years ago.  And the wind was howling too.  That was the only real cold spell of that winter I believe.

 

It was a 36-hour pause of the never-ending blowtorch. I literally received zero accumulating snow the entire winter. Worst winter of all time IMHO

ICON not going without a fight, but looks like a modest step back from 12z. 18z ENS held steady with 12z ENS.

Only cooperative for accumulation for favored spots. Poor timing with this during daylight hours.

Long long time ago and DCA would register +10 to +15 to that if that sort of air mass would arrive today.

I think that location may have been in NW then or Navy yard. I think they had been taking temps since  1877?

The latest extended products have normal temps back in the east within the first few days of Jan, then colder from there through mid month. Pattern might go more 'classic Nina' by the end of the month, but the -EPO looks to persist into early Feb which should keep the SER on the flat side.

That shouldn’t hurt we have abundant scar tissue from 37 and rain

I'm actually getting paper-like cuts on my fingertips from playing too much basketball in the cold.  This happened a couple years ago, too, which ended up being a better winter in Frederick.  I might start using this as an early season sign...like the snowy owl appearances.

we were actually in Baltimore during that 1994 cold outbreak.  It basically never got above zero on the drive there from VA - Staunton had a low near -20F that morning.  The Inner Harbor was frozen solid lol.

They still had the old wind chill scale back then and the numbers were insane back home in Minnesota.  -60, -70, -80.  We were out of school for a few days and I remember just sitting and watching tv coverage of the Northridge earthquake.

That was a COLD week, had 6 out of 7 mornings below zero, with the 19th at -15. Bonus was the 4-6 inches of snow/ice OTG during that week.

Daylight hours??? You know the sun angle is of zero consequence right now? Shortest days of the year have about arrived.

In an area that's frequently on the margins like ours, wether or not the sun is out could mean the difference between being above or below freezing.

I’ll never forget my hs ski trip to killington that winter. Couldn’t even ski one of the days. Way below zero wind chills. Haven’t experienced cold like that since.

Other than the vodka cold in 94, I remember getting about 2” of fluffy snow on top of 3 inches of thick ice. My dad tried to drive his jeep up our driveway, he got only halfway up the hill and he slid all the way back down.
