here's what some distance from the urban centers and elevation will do: KSHD (Staunton) - 6F KDCA - 25F
-
i'd suspect it's pretty close. The center of the heat island is actually around Columbia Heights / Petworth, and they tend to run warmer than DCA. I'm downtown and I'm usually really close to them at night. During the day I'm warmer bc of the river, usually.
-
yeah it is probably more on par with downtown. My station hasn't been in the teens since 2019.
-
"The Streak" is officially in jeopardy folks - DCA (and most of central DC / Arlington) has not gotten below 22F in 1070 days (since Feb 2019), which is just... insane. The airport was sitting at 27 at the last hour but is pretty steady.

south central TX epicenter

That's awful. I'll stick to leesburg! not to derail this thread too much, but it was you or Matt who got excited when I mentioned heavy sleet on whatever WWBB thread we were on, saying that will end up being really heavy snow by the time it gets to you guys. lol i'll never forget that.
-
light snow downtown - vis starting to drop just a bit
-
omfg same. It started at night with a huge burst of snow - sleet when I woke up the next morning. Sucked.

FLURRIES HAVE COMMENCED IN OUR NATION'S CAPITAL

How did you do in 96 2003 2016? 2003 was a huge sleet mess in C'ville (I was in school there at that point) - still about 12" of accumulation but the best stuff was about 100 miles to the north.
-
Jan 2016 in NYC is a close second (about 30" with strong winds - and we lived in Battery Park City so HUGE drifts) - but 96 will always be the king.
-
still the greatest storm in my lifetime. About 3 feet in the Shenandoah Valley.
-
UVA in the snow is amazing.
-
elevation is a factor - cities in the Shenandoah Valley almost always do better.

DCPS closed tomorrow now too lol
-
Man our snowpack is getting wrecked rn. 40/35 downtown at 1am.
-
snowshoe really is a different climate entirely.
-
heat island comin in STRONG tonight. We are still in the low 30s lol.
-
man i love that area up there.
-
I'm downtown and my station bottomed out at 24.
-
lol - nope, bottomed out at 23.
-
haven't personally felt a temperature below 20F since 2019 LOL.
-
Temps hanging out around 28F in DC - still remains to be seen if we will drop below 22F.
-
this was one of the prettiest snow storms I can remember. I mean everything was just pasted white. And then yeah, you had that contrast with the clearing - very very nice! The NY'ers might not agree, but I think DC might be the best looking US city in the snow.
