38/24D. Falling.

We need an eyeroll smiley...

42/22D currently.

Because with elevation you need sight lines and flat land flat to compare it to. It would be like living on the upper level of a building with no staircase or windows, there's no reference point.

For all the DC yappin' gone off the rails...just thought I'd post up this ditty. Bears reminding based on where you are. "The highest natural elevation in the District is 409 feet (125 m) above sea level at Fort Reno Park in upper northwest Washington. The lowest point is sea level at the Potomac River. The geographic center of Washington is near the intersection of 4th and L Streets NW." Topographic map below. DC is a combo of appalachian ridge and plains. Like a bowl, edges are high, middle part low. Mt parents and grandparents said the mall was swampy at one time. I saw an old pic of cows grazing on the WH lawn! Crazy stuff. NW is large areas of high elevation. SE is a staircase that keeps going up and most of the streets are hills in all directions. My neighbors can sit on their front porch and see the Cathedral in NW clear as a bell. On Howard road SE you have a clear site line to the monument like its a mile away. Wild. We now return to your regularly scheduled snow channel...

Same here in SE...can range from 120 to 290 and more. Topography is a bowl not a flat plain.

Reminds me of an atmospheric turbine engine.

What is this Hadley Cell? Not familiar.

I think folks overthink things when it comes to snow and presume too much based on every model they see. Wild mood swings over snow indicates something else going on not related to weather. Our historical sample size of patterns on a geological time scale is minuscule at best...long term planetary/solar cycles and CC are impossible to predict long term. Changes are not neatly packaged for convenience and results vary. I don't envy anyone in the field trying to analyze or give projections based on models at this point. Also, snow has nothing to do with winter. That association only comes from places that get snow.

Welp, whatever happens must happen quick! Because Phil says...

I think it's Newfoundland...lol

ENOUGH. Stock up now. Stop whining...and get a good load of dynamite.

The "SECS is 8 inches" got my attention immediately...

Still have a great deal of snowpack. Melted areas/ black ice treacherous tho. 28 degrees and a bag o' chips.

Temps still falling...now 18/DP7 windchill -11 Hoo Ha. Rump buster

20 degrees in frosty SE -10 wind chill. Set your drinks outside!

Temp drop 23/5dp -2 windchill Icicles growing! Put salt down, sheets of ice and slick patches. No trash pickup yet.

Windy, sunny. Snow blowing above from roofs, ice underneath on the ground. Icicles! 24 degrees at 1:30 PM

5.75" total both storms here. It's still doing some kind of weird snizzle you can't see. At 5PM I finished shoveling the driveway, walkway and steps. They are now covered again with like a half inch! AND for those of you in love with having the streets staying covered overnight for days know that I'm not a fan when you get black ice and runoff freezing underneath, especially when you're on a steep incline or slope. I've had enough trips to the bottom of the driveway in three seconds! Holding at 28/DP19

Still snowing. Big/small flakes mixed, some wind. 31/26D

30/26 dewpoint down a couple of ticks. Got a few updated shots while on break. Even the birds are checking it out! It's snowing sideways. 3" and rolling on...

Ja ja Ja...bump bump bump bump!

A little late to the party...snow plow woke me up at 6:30 AM so I figured get pictures! So I did. A little goodness from SE DC...holding at 30/28D. Early AM shots

The purple blob creeps closer...reaching...REACHING

Everybody grab that light blue and pull...PULL!!
