Looks like you’re correct. The current location started reporting in 1951 and missed the record warm days from the 30’s and 1950. Highest at BWI before now was 75.
Nothing new for us. I went back as far as 1970 and found only 10 years where the high temperature for January did not reach 60 at DCA. Five of those years, the month topped out at 59, once at 58 and once at 57.
About a third of those years there were days that reached 70+.
Temps went above freezing here last hour. First time in over 210 hours. That period averaged 11° below normal during climatologically the coldest time of the year.
The HRRR runs all morning have been parking this narrow band over my yard this afternoon and sitting it there snowing itself out for a couple of hours.
Would be great if it’s on to something and my area can play catchup on accumulations.
26/14. High today of 29. Below freezing since last Saturday evening, but for 3 hours on Sunday afternoon.
Schools closed tomorrow making it a full week off.
