3km has about 0.4-0.5” precip from 13-19z after the changeover along 95

We don’t really care about the heavy stripe to the east because that is rain. The precip max to the west is in the favored spots, so no shock. We just need to score with what we get.

March 5, 2015. For no particular reason. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/capital-weather-gang/wp/2015/03/05/d-c-area-forecast-wintry-mix-changes-to-substantial-snow-record-cold-likely-to-follow/

HRRR holds the temps flat all night long. It really isn’t until about 6am along 95 that we start to drop.

My brother moved to the Frederick area and that section that goes down to two lanes is awful. Every trip it is the same slow spots, before the bridge on 495 to get into Maryland and after Clarksburg.

Rates are king in the spring.

Bomb is maybe used loosely. There isn't much precip left after the changeover.

Noticed today that College of Dupage has added Total Snow Depth as a map.

I know that this low placement, along a front, in March, is totally what I look for in an impending snow event. At least we'll get some wind on the backside.

0.61" rain, 40.2 degrees. Gross.

The line just completely evaporated. 0.04” on the day.

Still in the distance. The original concept was the system that could do multiple things, like track weather and aircraft. That fell apart. I think NOAA presented at the last AMS meeting about system requirements, which points to a phased-array due to the benefits of the faster updates. But there still has not been a NEXRAD-quality S-band phased-array radar constructed. The technology is now there, but it takes a lot of money to build the first one that can do dual-pol and small enough beamwidth. I imagine that we’ll start to hear something in the next few years, but a grand rollout of a new system is in the 2030s or beyond.

Got to 80 at DCA despite cloud cover. That's a record.

The one word to describe today so far is “loud” 75.4

Yeah, I think it was $5.31 in Breezewood yesterday when we passed by. Amazing how we finally get through COVID and things are healing, and then Russia.

60 for the morning low.

In the last 15 years, DCA has exceeded 3" and IAD/BWI have exceeded 5" in December exactly once. All three airports average more snow in March than December. It just isn't a core winter month.

A nice warm late Fall, per usual.

PictureThis is excellent, I just wish it were a purchase-once app rather than a subscription.

Can’t really distinguish them from normal traffic on the cams, but they sure are honking a lot.

78. Looks like a lock for a record high at DCA tomorrow.

These mornings are amazing. For @H2O’s reference, the 44 is a few houses down from the water tower, which is the neighborhood max elevation.

Low of 41.7 on Mt. Tysons.

My vote is for August, but I understand the sentiment.

51, 49, 49 at DCA, BWI, and IAD. Even 50 at home. Spring will not be denied.
