  1. Half-mile or less visibility in Arlington. About 1/2 inch topping tree branches.
  2. Snow/grass/shrubtopper in South Arlington. Still melting on pavements and roads, though.
  3. WTOP is now reporting slush building on some roads N&W of DC.
  4. All right, WHO turned on the snow machine? And turned the DCA temperature down to 34?? Still melting in south Arlington, though.
  5. The latest from airports: DCA 39 IAD 36 light snow BWI 37 rain/snow
  6. NWS current low forecasts for Friday morning: DCA: 32 IAD: 29 BWI: 30 Might be icy in spots tomorrow...
  7. DCA temperatures have tumbled. 0525: 75 0752: 51
  8. Tornado watches up to the west of the Blue Ridge from about Luray northward.
  9. Looks like another bunch of shattered high temperatures today. So far, DCA hit 84, IAD and BWI 82. Records at all three airports for the date had been 79.
  10. Might (or might NOT) be a bit stormy tomorrow. From LWX's latest AFD: (snip) KEY MESSAGE 1...Severe Thunderstorms are possible Wednesday afternoon and evening. Tomorrow`s forecast is an extremely challenging one. At this point, there`s a wide range of potential solutions on the table, with very low confidence in which solution will ultimately verify. Forecast details follow below...
  11. Outside, my neighbor's tree has started shedding pollen all over my car. Another neighbor's daffodils may bloom soon. My shaded trees' buds still haven't burst, though.
  12. Totally smashed today's records for the DC-area airports. So far, they have all hit 84. The old records were 79 DCA, 80 at IAD and BWI. Might tie or break records tomorrow (before we plunge back into the cooler).
  13. Back up to a whole quarter-mile plus in South Arlington.
  14. Foggy in south Arlington this morning. Can barely see some lights at 1/4 mile, none at 1/2 mile. Channel 5 in DC warned those about to drive to NOT put on their high-beams.
  15. Some schools (Fairfax and some to the NW) are delayed two hours. Probably to ensure most leftover black ice gets melted/washed away or visible.
  16. Visibility under 1/2 mile here in South Arlington. About 1/4 inch or more on tree branches and shrubs. My Hill of Doom and the sidewalks haven't surrendered yet, though.
  17. Sticking now to shrubs and some grass, trying to do the same for car tops. Visibility probably under a mile now.
  18. Snow flurries in south Arlington. Visibility about 1 mile.
  19. DCA has hit 32. Frost has formed on cars and grass in Arlington.
  20. Despite the NWS noting freezing fog potential for the DC suburbs, it was 35 at DCA with 3 mile visibility. Here in Arlington, the visibility is well over the half-mile to the nearby hilltop.
  21. In Arlington, I think elevation had some impact. Far western Arlington (about 300-350 elevation): 3.5 West of Lake Barcroft (about 250-300 elevation): 2.5 Me (about 100 feet up from DCA): about an inch and a half DCA (just about on the river): 1.0 ((Of course, when I saw the predicted temperatures, I figured DCA didn't have much of a chance. I'm a bit surprised it managed to get an inch despite not hitting 32 for an extended period until shortly before 5 am.))
  22. I Meant LWX. ((Is there some way to edit postings??))
  23. I see LX took down the WWAs for Washington and immediate Baltimore metros.
  24. Took a look out my window uphill from DCA. Looks like around an inch and a half stuck to tree branches and car tops. My Hill of Doom got covered, but it looks like Arlington came through and salted the center of the roadway into submission. Sidewalks vary. Some partially or fully resisted, others did not.
