33.3 in Falls Church. Pleased with the temps.

The simple answer is that the Apps both help us and hurt us for ice storms. We tend to get smaller events due to cold-air damming, but unless there is a really significant cold air outbreak (see 1994), we don't get that clash of straight-from-Canada cold and return moisture from the Gulf.

IAD will get the warmest January on record. BWI is battling it out for 3rd.

'97/'98 is interesting. BWI recorded snowfall in Dec, Jan and Mar for a 3.2" total. IAD had snow in Dec, Jan, Feb for 5.9". And yet, DCA ends up with 0.1" of pity snowfall in December.

Casual +13 on the high

DCA looks like it is locked into the 3rd warmest January on record. BWI will likely be top-5. IAD will be battling with 2006 for the top spot over the next few days.

Good trend on temps vs 00z and 06z for Tuesday. 06z had dewpoints at 35 during the event. 12z has them in the upper 20s. Edit - snow depth map is a 0.5"-1" event

Mix of sleet and rain. 37.6

The Timberline ski cam looks good. 37.4 here.

My parents keep sending pics of the snow from back home in Minnesota. They've had a really nice year. That gradient between Minneapolis and Milwaukee/Chicago is something.

So, in the wake of that low and front, we have a +6 yesterday and at least a +4 today. +8.1 January. Really good shot at a top-5 warmest January. 1 and 2 look out of reach.

Month and 2023 so far.

DCA: +8.8 IAD: +9.7 BWI: +11.0

+9 to 11

First open crocus sighting

I think it is simply some measure of gauge height. https://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=lwx&gage=wllm2. The 48.6' from 1936 would have been ~46' above the level from today.

There have only been 4 years that have been complete shutouts through January. 1889-90: 6.5" (5" in March) 1913-14: 28.6" (19" in March) 1959-60: 24.3" (17.1" in March) 1972-73: 0.1" Of course, every other year (n = 7) with less than 1" finished below 10" total. So, effectively two March stick saves in the 11 years that were duds through January.

He balled out in clutch moments all year, but I wish he would have just chucked it up. The play call was baffling, though, with too many deep and shallow routes on a 4th and 8. In the end, we knew the downfall of the Vikings would be the terrible defense. 431 yards and 31 points to Daniel Jones. Kwesi is going to gut that side of the ball in the offseason, and hopefully Ed Donatell is first to go.

I always miss the good ones. (saw some flurries in Denver this week, and they do have old snow on the ground)

On pace for the warmest January on record, but holding something that beats +10.5 (1950) is a tall order.

I honestly have no idea what will happen, but the teams played a close game a few weeks ago and it’ll probably be the same. The Twins need to stay healthy. Last season was a disaster by midway thought the season.

Happy GB Packers Elimination Day!

32 right on at DCA. 29.5 is my current and low temp.

Only a +8 today at DCA. Really drags down the +16.5 through the first 6 days.

Here's a station closer to you that had the pressure fall. https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KVAHERND44/graph/2022-01-16/2022-01-16/daily I actually lost power for a couple of hours that night. Here's the thread: My weather event of 2022 is the Jan. 3rd snowfall. 8.8". Just a nice snowfall with the Christmas lights still up. Saved the winter. Otherwise, the thunderstorms and heat were fairly tame. No big wind or rain (3"+) events. Perhaps the oddest event was the first week of October, where it just kept raining, with 6 straight days of measurable, and 4 straight days with over 1/3".
