  1. Ground is whitening. Might squeeze out something measurable.
  2. My NWS point-and-click has a 60mph gust for noon tomorrow. I'm not sure I've seen something like that since the big March windstorm in the late 2010s.
  3. Consider them the outlier right now. Probably a bit too cold. Mid-teens in the afternoon is a better bet.
  4. We are going to ruin a top-tier cold day on Saturday with a midnight high.
  5. Here's a fun one - the last time that DCA (current airport location) had a consecutive week below freezing with at least 5" of snow on the ground was...never. 1989 had a longer streak, but less snow on the ground (2-4") 1979 had a similar streak, but some of the days had 4" 1961 had a 13 day stretch where it hit 33 twice (3-9")
  6. It is wild to look at the snowpack from the side, especially adjacent to sidewalks. The sleet layer is forming a shelf as the snow melts/sublimates away. Still 5.5" here too.
  7. The HRRR verbatim at 12z Saturday is single digit temps and wind gusts approaching 50mph. That would be rare territory around here.
  8. We’ve had some unpleasant days this winter, but Saturday might top them all. That wind is going to hurt.
  9. The Euro is always too high with gusts, but it is putting out mid-50mph on Saturday. Shave 10 off of that and it is still a nasty day.
  10. 39.9 for my high so far. You can see the melt around the edges.
  11. Crossed the freezing mark at just past 9am. It'll be interesting to see what happens to the pack today.
  12. The problem with this Wednesday thing is that any new snow is going to throw this area back into a mess, even with some melting on Tuesday.
  13. Many people ask how you can live in the north with those cold temperatures. And you nailed the answer, you kind of just get used to it and dress appropriately.
  14. Low of 10.0 and wind chills in the single digits below zero. Brisk.
  15. 1.80” on my core sample today. Down about 0.5”, but that’s impressive after nearly a week. Potomac from the pull off on the GW Parkway today
  16. 7.2, second coldest of the winter. Airports were all around 10. I've been surprised in this stretch that IAD hasn't bottomed out like they normally do.
  17. Wild day in Minnesota sports. The GMs for the Twins and the Vikings got canned on the same day!
  18. Gulf-effect snow. Fantastic. The HRRR has a hint of it too.
  19. Here's a fun one. At my house (6.8), BWI (9), and DCA (10), the coldest temperatures of this stretch were on Saturday morning, before the storm.
  20. The temperature differences across the regions are getting wilder as we get later into the week. Airports: DCA 13, IAD 6, BWI 8. Mine was 9.1 and most of northern VA looks to be in the 6-12 range. But MD is...cold.
