    No. Mar 2012 was a historic monster. Mar 2010, maybe.
  2. MN Transplant
    Snow town.
  3. MN Transplant
    Yup, that's my list.

    I think the totals in DC itself lean towards 2010. The reservoir was higher as was the spotter in Anacostia. No reports from near AU, but they were 25" and 27" in 2010, and I really doubt they were that high this time.
  5. MN Transplant
    I lean '10 over '16. The totals were basically equivalent, but the heavy snow and impact of 2010 outweigh the 2016 duration and wind for me.
  6. MN Transplant
    Nice. Wonder where we are on standard deviation. Dec is a monthly with a higher variation, but it is possible that this is still the most anomalous + month in DC history.
  7. MN Transplant
    64 at DCA currently. Looking good to break the all time December min record tomorrow.

    Super quick look at the records finds 75/60 on Jan 13, 1932 (+32 vs current norms, would be higher against the old numbers).
  9. MN Transplant
    I think I have Jan 1950 as the most anomalously positive month on record at DCA. +12.0 from the current norms. This could be a solid #2.
  10. MN Transplant
    Probably about the same way we handle the fact that some of the old observations were taken multiple stories up in a building in a completely different part of town. Ignore it.
  11. MN Transplant
    Doesn't go out past 7pm, but this is a straight up obliteration from the NAM.
  12. MN Transplant
    The highest minimum for any day in Dec at DCA is 59° on 12/5/1973. That record is in big trouble.
  13. MN Transplant
    That would qualify as an obliteration. I wonder what the biggest gap between 1 and 2 is for any of the months.
  14. MN Transplant
    80 would be a heck of a mark at any of the sites. Only a handful of 80s beyond the first few days of the month on record.
  15. MN Transplant
    I don't know about NE, but Jan. 82 was about the peak of what winter can do in Minneapolis, with two 17"+ snowstorms in three days and a max snow depth of 38".
  16. MN Transplant
    We had a nasty ice storm in MN back in the mid-90s. Was supposed to be 12-18" of snow and the storm wrapped up too much and drove the warm air north. It was fun for a while, until we got a wet basement from the combo of ice clogged gutters and frozen ground. You don't want that at any time of year, let alone January.

    I am at 7.25", but half of that is from the last week. IAD to my area to Manassas did not do well, as compared to other spots, in the first half of June.
  18. MN Transplant
    Fun to break a record. IAD is at 5.48" for more variability.
  19. MN Transplant
    Four consecutive record max mins at DCA.
  20. MN Transplant
    So, March is now winter and May is now summer. Yeah, Spring-pril.
  21. MN Transplant
    Yep. Hottest May on record. IAD will be at least top 3. Didn't check BWI.
  22. MN Transplant
    Still a toss-up at DCA for warmest May on record.
  23. MN Transplant
    Both MOS and the NWS forecasts leave DCA with the #2 warmest May on record. It wouldn't take much more to push to #1. Basically, an average of 88/71 the rest of the way is a tie.
  24. MN Transplant
    Agree, I think we can give up a little simplicity for the sake of better accuracy.
  25. MN Transplant
    Looks like 3rd at IAD 1970: 31.5 1978: 31.5 2015: 31.8 2014: 32.3 1969: 33.4 Coldest Feb/Mar combo on record though.
