pazzo83 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 DCA with its first sub freezing high and sub 20 temp of the year today. Currently 19F (20F at the 8pm ob, but it has no doubt dropped to 19 now). 15.6F here. Single digits likely in the colder areas inside the beltway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T. August Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 15.9° - I don’t think mby will hit lower than 10°. Most modeling has 9-11° tonight, with the lowest occurring around 4AM before the clouds roll in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 The dew points would indicate most of the area above the fall line could get to zero by morning if you have good snow cover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve still got up to 3” of glacier in many spots (plus a little fluff on top), so i wouldn’t have thought it’s just about who got snow yesterday.

Fresh (ie. still fluffy) snow is way more effective at longwave radiation emission than hardpack snow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve still got up to 3” of glacier in many spots (plus a little fluff on top), so i wouldn’t have thought it’s just about who got snow yesterday. lots of subtleties with snowcover. New snowpack is highly insulating because of air pockets, which means lower skin temps than old snowpack due to less heat draw from the soil. Older snowpack is radiatively similar to wet soil but with higher albedo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
