an updated classic: White Hot Christmas

train in the Jan 2000 snow near Baltimore http://www.trainweb.org/oldmainline/oml5.htm#csx_736
-
First solid freeze at my station near BWI. The 13th briefly touched freezing and froze only some garden annuals here. Too bad the airport fixed their Mr Freeze sensor, think of all the snow/ip/zr they would have otherwise had!
-
the rare early morning tstorm in late November, must have happened before, but I can't recall when
-
at 9 pm we're already down to tonight's projected min and the sky overhead is still clear...
-
32, which was 2 degrees lower than BWI, and which represents a return to the historical station difference. Maybe Mr Freeze has finally left the airport. Some plants froze here, others not, which is the way I confirm the sensor is properly calibrated.
-
BWI's max was 5 degrees above forecast, which tells me tonight's forecasted min of 30 is also too low, so garden annuals might survive the night. Well, except those near BWI's Mr. Freeze temp sensor.

up to 0.02 near BWI, build an ark!

At the pond, a few lonely, confused peepers are acting like spring has arrived.

By now it seems 09-10 must have been a dream. Nina? Pinta? Heck, I'm praying to Santa María.

we're all thinking it, so I'll be the first to post BWI: 0.0 DCA: 0.0 IAD: 0.0 RIC: 0.0 Tiebreaker (SBY): 0

BWI again 4 degrees colder than my station. For decades, my station's daily mins have routinely been 1 to 2 degrees colder than BWI. That all changed suddenly when Mr Freeze took up residence at BWI this month.
-
74 after a 41 min here, which translates at BWI to 78 after a min of 12. Two weeks of rain each day, followed by two weeks of near-cloudless skies.
-
BWI has been about 5 degrees colder than MBY, and MBY is several hundred feet higher in elevation. Only way I see that actually happening is during calm winds for most/all of the night, which has not been the case lately. Something is goofy with the recent BWI temps.
-
There's more dryness under trees because less dew forms there overnight compared to uncovered areas where more radiational cooling can occur.
-
Today demolished the multi-decade record for consecutive days with increasing daily minimum temp at my station. The old count (prior to this stretch) was 5, the new count is 8. I do not expect to ever see a longer such stretch here.
-
Since a low of 52 at my station Aug 21, the daily min has ticked up for 6 consecutive days. I don't believe I've ever seen that happen before across decades of observations. If tonight's forecast is correct, that will bump to 7 consecutive.

The down side is clean air lets in more light, which means more global warming. https://skepticalscience.com/global-cooling-mid-20th-century-advanced.htm

What's with BWI's hourly temp obs always being a whole number, or ending in .1 or .9? https://forecast.weather.gov/data/obhistory/KBWI.html

DCA: 98 IAD: 100 BWI: 102 RIC: 98 -

Thundersnow incoming? From 1023 AFDLWX: Some lightning was being detected over southern Missouri, indicating elevated instability and strong, deep lift via low-level frontogenesis and very strong upper-level divergence in the left exit region of an incoming jet streak. -

besides, what other group of scientists has their own pro baseball team in New York? -
I'd participate but don't care for yet another app. For example, GroupMe's Sign up now button does nothing here. It needs to be simpler.

Marylandwx's radar used to be good, but has been down for awhile, it might be months
