Looks pretty decent again. Enough to keep me paying attention and out of the panic room for now. Mean low is a in decent enough position, little more cold air to work with (hopefully). Let's do it all again!
36/20 in Takoma Park. I don't see why we wouldn't snow given the temp-->DP spread, the fact that it's coming in after dark, and there's no big push of warm air in the mid or upper levels right away.
Wow that does look nice. I am much more interested in this threat. Of course I would enjoy 1-3 inches on the early week threat too but the ceiling here appears to be higher.
Dont wanna derail the long range thread but @psuhoffman has some great points. I expect this to become the new norm as we were already at a marginal latitude for snow before our climate started rapidly warming. I don’t think people will really start to care until their ski resorts have to shut down permanently.
This has been very noticeable. As a runner I still haven't had to put on more than a base layer/t shirt combo for a run. I haven't even been wearing a hat! Usually in January I have to bundle up at least a few times. What's the coldest temp at DCA this season? Like mid 20s or something pathetic like that?
