After driving down towards the river, I’m shocked that DCA did get on the board. There is no sign at all that it snowed, other than the cars that came in from higher elevations.

Revising mine to 0.7” after a few more measurements. 1.58” total liquid. Hard to get a good snow water equivalent, but my best guess is a 3:1 ratio.

Tried to give the white one her first snow experience. I don’t think she wanted to be up and about.
-
Beautiful. Grass is white. Surprised by the temp down to 32.4.

The Vikings have set back football 100 years in the past two weeks. And they are still in the 6th seed in the NFC.

At Dulles

12z HRRR stays warm at the surface, so no snow depth accumulation for most of us.
-
The 06z NAM 3km drops 0.6" precip in my backyard after the switchover. I love that stupid weenie model.

06z NAM 3k and HRRR (now in range) are simply too warm at the surface.
-
The GFS is actually cold enough aloft but the surface temps and dew points are too warm. That's why it is still signaling rain during this panel time.
-
This is the composite sim and sounding as the rain/snow line is hitting 95. Not bad.

Iowa State. Utah state has the best download site for the full climate record for stations, but Iowa State's has the fun tools. https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/plotting/auto/

Flurries in Alexandria

Looking like this was intentional. That’s one way to go out!

What is the average guess at each site?

Wild that we are going to see a Power 5 conference undefeated champion left out of the CFB.

0.74". Chipping away at the deficit.

I was thinking more about inversions and moisture/aerosols, but your convection idea is also solid. The other thing that the wind does is to prevent the cold-air drainage and microclimates from setting up. So, the difference between IAD and DCA is always going to be muted in CAA scenarios because IAD also will not be able to form their ridiculous cold-pool inversion.
-
I think that is almost a given. A stable boundary layer is going to be much more susceptible to emitted long wave radiation from all of the “stored” urban heat.

20.7. That is good for the 3rd coldest day of calendar 2023 and colder than any day in January 2023. DCA 25, IAD 20

The sleet bomb?

El Niño = Tush Push

Yeah, that is really good. Wow.

32 on the 5-min obs at DCA. I think that does it.
