Fantastic.  Outside of maybe a random pop-up thunderstorm, when are you ever going to see Baltimore City as the coldest spot in MD.

Everyone complains about the wind until there isn't any to mix up the boundary layer.

Actually (nerding out for a minute), 30 years ago was 1985-86, a backloaded nina winter. IAD got 15.6" total. I've already beaten that 

30 years ago was when?

1.0” snow yesterday.  Light glaze on elevated surfaces overnight.

Coming down real nicely in Downtown DC at this point. Excellent Snow TV

Same.  Very slowly starting to whiten up.  29.9

Last time I’ll post this but getting tired of this look on radar. Genuinely so interested as to how a gradient this sharp forms and holds for an hour!

I do see an occasional flurry, but lol.

Not a flake so far.  31.2

Does anyone know the DCA temp anomaly for DJF?

February 2026 at DCA made it three consecutive months of not just below 1991-2020 normal -- but also below historical 1871-2026 average -- temperatures in DC.  

For the month, DCA averaged 36.2 degrees, 3.8 below the 1991-2020 normal of 40.0 degrees and 1.1 below the 1871-2026 DC average of 37.3 degrees.

For the 3-month meteorological winter as a whole, DCA averaged 35.6 degrees, 3.7 below the 1991-2020 normal of 39.3 degrees and 1.5 below the 1871-2026 DC average of 37.1 degrees.

This arguably was a February 1978 redo. That's prolly already been noted, but whatever. I'm ready for thunderstorm season. The screwjobs are more idiosyncratic and less deflating.

And we'll be the ones dragging down the NESIS (or equivalent) scale again.

3.6” total, sticking to everything.

0.89” precip, 0.55” after the final changeover to snow which means ratios were even worse than we were worried about.

Still 33/34 at DCA.  Wonder if they’ll report much of anything.

What’s funny is that it’s still coming down pretty good here, but it’s melting almost as fast as it’s falling because it’s 33 degrees.

Surprised you are still that warm.  I’m 31.1.  Do have to say, this is still low ratio stuff.

What do you think about 7” more?

Sounds like fun.  I’m in.

1.25” so far.  Looks nice.

31.6 and moderate to heavy snow.  Looking good.

32.7.  Just starting to stick on mulch and elevated surfaces.

Temp seems to have turned over.  Down to 34.5 and wet snowflakes.

Inching closer to being inside the beltway, bring it

We were all joking about DCA reporting a low total, now watch them get plastered.

18z HRRR, 6hr precip 5pm-11pm

18z HRRR has the inverted trough axis fractionally east.  I clearly approve of the location.

35.6.  0.25" precip on the day.  Got my hockey high this morning, now the doldrums until the snow starts this evening.

Gold!  USA!
