Torching here. Sunny and the temp has jumped to 59 after a morning low of 29. West wind gusting to 30.

41 with drizzle.

I’ve made this point here before, but Rodriguez has logged a total of 572 innings in 8 professional seasons. I don’t blame the Orioles for moving on. They’ve been waiting a long time on him.

Light rain. 41/32

22° here. Coldest reading of the season so far.

Another fire danger day. Just had a gust to 39 and humidity has dropped to 22%

Had a gust to 46 that knocked out the internet. Word from Comcast is “network damage” and it may be back in a few hours.

I got 15” from that 3/21 storm. Haven’t had a double-digit snowfall since then.

That was my last winter living in western MD, where I had grown up. It rivaled the more-heralded winters of the late 70’s. Had seven below-zero nights in January, including back-to-back -13’F’s. 45” winter in the valley around Cumberland, where the average is about 30”

24° here. Coldest of the season so far.

BWI: 13.1” DCA: 8.2” IAD: 12.8” RIC: 5.9” Tiebreaker SBY: 6.1”

Dry Novembers have become the norm here. Only 3 of the last 18 have finished above the long-term average of 2.73” (2011, 2018, 2022) Average of those 18 seasons is 2.05”

Getting some thunder here. 0.50” so far.

1985 had a historic cold snap in January, but overall the winter wasn’t all that cold. December 1984 was very mild, on the order of +5 for the month. And the second half of February was also “warm.” Neither season was close to the coldest on record.

Low of 31 with frost.
