A couple of dustings and a little freezing drizzle in December, after that absolutely nothing, not even any false alarms, due to continuous warmth (dewpoints above 60 on January 8!!)
Edited to add: Dulles' *low* on 1/8/98 was an incredible 62!
I consider Alaska's southeast coast the worst climate in the country. Today's weather in the DC area is quite possible on the Fourth of July there, except with 40 mph southwest winds. Juneau once had 51 consecutive days with measurable rainfall.
It's starting to sprinkle. Given that yesterday's predicted rain hit a wall in western Fauquier County and vanished, I didn't expect unforecasted showers to get this far east.
I wonder if this wil bust the high temps forecast for today.
Started to rain around 12:30 last night so I checked the radar. Huge red blob in southern Fairfax/PW counties. Northwestern tip of it touching I66 in western Fairfax. I only got light rain and one distant rumble of thunder. It looked like the blob might hit DCA but checking this morning, they just got a few hundredths too.
