  1. Current temp is my low on the season so far. 28.0
  2. The Dobbs thing was fun for a while, but he is clearly a backup QB at best. They’ve desperately missed Kirk the last two games. Sounds like a QB competition over the bye week to determine who gets to play the final 5 games.
  3. We got this. Very good chance it happens before midnight. Down to 39 from a high of 43 despite the sun. In the last two hours I’ve dropped from 41.0 to 32.9!
  4. I had a 12:09am low at home. Tonight really should be the night at DCA.
  5. This board would implode with a late start like 65-66. 0.2" through January 25th. Then an 8-day period of three storms totaling 23" in late Jan/early Feb. Followed by a sloppy 5" storm in late Feb. The Jan 29-30, 1966 storm does look like it was fun, though. 13.8" with highs of 16 and 17 degrees. All stats from DCA.
  6. BWI: 14.5" DCA: 11.4" IAD: 18.1" RIC: 8.5" Tiebreaker: SBY: 7.6"
  7. Really nice job by the NAM last night with the steady/rising temps. The HRRR was terrible. No freeze yet at DCA.
  8. Problem is that a couple of the stations that I checked in downtown DC and Crystal City, Arlington also didn't make it to freezing this morning.
  9. 2.12”. Fantastic job by the models on QPF.
  10. Quite the downpour with that line. Just about 2” total now.
  11. The HRRR nailed that enhancement that is now at Dulles. That’ll push a lot of us over 2”.
  12. Totally cliche, but the models are juicing up as we get towards the event tomorrow. 1.5”-2.5” widespread.
  13. Black Friday isn't for shopping, it is for Christmas decorations.
  14. Ok, I ran some numbers for DCA. For the period 1950-forward, the correlation between temps and snow gets stronger as you go through the winter. We root for cold and hope for precip. Snow on the vertical axis, temp departure from current norms on the horizontal axis. Interesting note on the final (full season) chart. The two 20"+ winters that were above normal temps were due to HECS (1983, 2016). So, you want to have a full-season negative departure or you are praying for a fluke.
  15. It has been extraordinarily sunny, which I think factors in heavily. Since the start of September I've only had 4 days where there was any appreciable midday solar radiation restriction.
  16. That + sign is doing heavy lifting out in the mountains.
  17. Come on, I was waiting to come in and Price is Right everyone
  18. No special pattern? No need, we'll just tack on another record high.
  19. Amazing to see visually how the bottom can just drop out at IAD in the right conditions.
