I thought DCA just got its first sub 40F day of the year, but it looks like we hit 40 just after midnight last night, so-- nope. It also didn't get below freezing. Remarkable.
By my count (someone can check me on this), we've had 12 days of 32 or lower, and 8 of under 32, so far in 2023. I wonder what the record minimum count of such temperatures is for a calendar year for DCA/DC?
Let's go - I'm on board. Normally I would be telling late Feb events (unless we were measuring in feet) to fuck off, but since we've gotten basically a dusting all year, we run with different season-end criteria at the moment.
why can't you square it with a warmer-than-normal base state? Just because it's warmer doesn't mean it's not cold enough to snow anywhere. These are high elevation mountains.
