At 18F IAD has now snagged it coldest temp thus far this season.

Hope you recover quick! Good thing this is indoor weather w/ bitter cold + no snow... well for me anyways.

Do you have power back yet?

IAD gusted up to 48kts (55mph) this hour.

And with that IAD is officially below freezing at 31/19.

Just had a 5 minute or so burst of moderate/moderately heavy? snow (trace accumulations). Winds picking up. Herndon, VA.

I'd actually wondered lately whether I was spoiled because those strings of good Decembers in the 2000's happened to occur when I was a kid. IMBY and FY in Herndon, VA the last 3 Marches that had a warning level snow event here was in 2018, 2015 and 2014. Meanwhile the last time I experienced a warning level event in December was in 2009. Snow month rankings for the majority of this region: 1. February 2. January 3. March 4. December

Graupel... not sleet ...

Just had a 20-30 second burst of heavy graupel that quickly coated the street in Herndon with that line... then it was back to lightish rain and a breeze. Those 20-30 seconds were neato though.

Interested in what precip type @Round Hill WX and @midatlanticweather are getting with this line.

11/15/2022: T (sleet) 12/10/2022: T (sleet) 12/22/2022: T (rain w/little SN/IP mixed in) Snow totals as of 12/22/2022: T

Now there's a Flood Warning for much of northern/central VA. My new weather radio made sure I knew it.
