That snowfall drought record is gonna be tough to beat for DCA:

the NYC UHI is epic. Nothing like it.

NYC with its first freeze overnight last night.

DCA should finally get a freeze tonight.

A pleasant 61/48 on the day for DCA.

2.18" so far in Tenleytown, looks like DCA broke 2" for yesterday and is up to 2.16"

definitely feel like being in the axis of heaviest precip is good vibes going forward

looks like NYC has also not yet had a freeze. Could be Dec for both cities.

yeah we are far enough south that the sun is warm year-round. I remember bright sunny winter days in NY where you didn't feel that warmth.

Was today DCA's last 70 of the year? Perhaps. Looks like we'll finally get a freeze next week.

yeah i'm betting he's gone.

you can take it to the bank* * Silicon Valley Bank

UVA's Ryan Dunn ended someone's basketball career last night

These wildfires in VA are getting bad. Another one in Afton (by I-64 and Rt 250, exit 99) that was started by a vehicle fire on 64. JFC...

i was exaggerating slightly (it's probably more towards early/late winter), but in the urban core (where more than a million of us live) it's not been uncommon to have many days that fail to reach freezing at night. We've had several Januarys as of late at DCA where the avg temp has been at or above 40F. That said, let's hope we get the right confluence of events this winter to actually bring significant snow. Doesn't change the fact that a DC winter is looking more like the winters of Richmond or Raleigh from the turn of the century.

just got a touch below freezing here (31.5), DCA with no freeze yet.

sorry it bothers you that the regional climate is warming significantly. low 50s for highs / mid-upper 30s for lows was a pretty typical mid winter day here for the past few years. Also it's not "early" fall - meteo winter starts in like 2.5 weeks.

53/38 here. Probably what represents a typical winter day for DC now.

hold up - is he saying that the snow 15 days away in the models might not actually happen????

lmao i didn't even notice

he seemed legit excited - i hope he's right.

yeah we hit 65 - some clouds kinda limited the heating a bit. Looks like we'll get near 80 on Thursday.

Highs in the 70s again. Just continuing the theme of the past many, many months - the cold is fleeting and the warmth is entrenched and long-lasting. We are in a fundamentally different climate in this region compared to the turn of the century (late 90s / early 2000s).

UHI was strong in NW DC this morning - low of 37.6F. Got to about 63 this afternoon, and now 48F. Probably no freezes for the next week at least.

46F at DCA at 11pm - no chance of a freeze tonight. Probably looking at the week of Nov 12 at the earliest.
