  1. 70.2 DCA’s record is 70 but the river is an issue
  2. Good inversion night. Low was 45. Elevated places out west are in the 50s.
  3. I'm not sure why they bothered with that explanation. It was clearly helmet to helmet.
  4. 11/15/2018 1.5 1/12-1/13/19 9.8 1/17/19 1.4 1/29/19 1.4 2/1/19 1.3 18-19 Seasonal 15.4
  5. 1.3". If I can squeeze out another tenth I can have my third 1.4" report of the season.
  6. The roads are snow covered except in the spots that they were heavily brined/salted. It is a dry snow, though, so they aren't actually that slick. As long as you are paying attention and making deliberate decisions, travel is fine. Of course, those qualities are in short supply in this region so it'll probably be a cluster. Flake size has picked up again. Nice little event.
  7. 6.3 was the low here. Pretty even temperature distribution inside the DC Beltway.
  8. I’m fairly certain that he is just pointing out the anomaly of the east-west winds. U (and V) are used as coordinates to describe direction. In this case, U would be east-west, V would be north-south, and W (or Z) would be vertical from the surface.
  9. Literally the radar beam hitting the "mountains".
  10. Well, I sure as hell am not going to be rooting for it to stop snowing. I hope I lose as badly as possible!
  11. Just some flurries. Lost 10 degrees in 30 minutes, though. 23.7
  12. There is an actual outflow boundary being thrown off of this thing. Nice. The 2015 event was similarly much, much better in MD than in VA/DC. It was fun for a couple of minutes here, but we ended up with 0.2" plastered on everything.
  13. That's what the models have been showing. I'm 31.1 and rising, right in line with all of the stations around me. No surprises.
  14. 11/15/2018 1.5 1/12-1/13/19 9.8 1/17/19 1.4 1/29/19 1.4 18-19 Seasonal 14.1
  15. Nah, only bad with radiatively-induced inversions. I’m at 31.5 now. It was more of a commentary on how the story of this event changed from a serious cold front to a weak cold front followed by the real cold air a day later.
  16. I’ve fallen one degree over the last 4 hours. Flash freeze!
  17. Going with 1.4”. Nothing on the sidewalk or driveway which makes things easy.
  18. My wife just got home from work down in the Pentagon City area. She says it is a whole different world down there than here in Falls Church. T is very believable.
  19. 35 dbz returns are a dendrite snowglobe. Very cool.
  20. Side roads covered in Tyson’s. Main roads have some slush on the sides.
  21. All snow. Still 35.7. Good day to mPING if you participate.
