How is that possible 

heat island is magical - in the absence of wind, the temperature does not drop here.  NYC is even more insane.

45/28 downtown.

still mid 40s downtown...

fantastic day in the mid 50s here in the District - you can smell spring right on the horizon.

the Mall and all the open space has been a refuge for my 2yr-old daughter and me during the pandemic.  Today, she asked the Washington Monument (which she claims is hers) what its favorite food was.

Still have full coverage in my yard in nw. Hard to keep snowcover downtown.

yeah the mall has tons of open areas with limited tree cover - they get torched.

on some side streets you still have some snow in planters on the sidewalk and open space that is under the shade of buildings still has snow.

DCA hit 50 today and basically all the snow downtown is gone - the Mall just looks like the remnants of snowmen and some snow in shaded areas.

spring is but a few weeks away now!

The storm thread is just embarrassing.  Basically is a view into society today as a whole where there’s a general lack of respect for others.  

it's bad but we had way worse on the NYC subforum - especially as the season wore down and frustration set in.

Congrats. You’re broadcasting to everyone precisely how awful your life is. Worse than that that you’re not even accurate. 
 

Why is this dude still allowed here? He offers absolutely nothing. 

lol - this isn't the NYC subforum - take it down a notch.

heads up - gonna be February soon.

Sounds like revenues from regular parking tickets and speeders must be down this month

DC hasn't really been doing parking enforcement since the start of the pandemic.

10" where? In DC? I was up in NY then so trying to put the pieces together. 

yeah Jan 2019.  I think the higher amounts were fairly localized.

This will be my daughter's first real experience with snow.  She was 3 months old back in 2019 when we got around 10" (so that doesn't count).  Then she briefly saw some snow in early 2020 (pre-pandemic), so she was just over a year, when we were visiting some friends outside NYC in NJ.

Followed by 6 inches of pure sleet...

above looks like how PD2 started in C'ville.

he is from chevy chase(your people)

lol i am here for the VA-MD fighting.

Chevy Chase is now Harlem? Man the world gets smaller every day. 

red line and the 1,2,3 trains can be confused i guess.

DCA midnight ob of 34 - so Sunday will not be the day we break the streak of days with highs above freezing.

my mom reports it has not yet started to snow in Staunton.

Just now, JakkelWx said:

You might stay all rain I dunno

we'll just take the red line up a few stops to see the snow (lol actually we won't as I haven't ridden the train since the pandemic started).

35/17 now.  Lol being above freezing after midnight might prevent tomorrow from being the first day since 2019 that DCA stays below freezing.
