low 22

Skim ice has returned over about half the tidal South River. Bit weird for Spring, but OK fine.

Very dry air rolling in. DP fell to 3 after sunrise.  Low of 27 here (close to tidewater.)

Currently 30/5.

Tidal South River this morning out to an unusually low tide. Mud flat style.

32 f , clear, windy otherwise.

Feb total precip  1.83". Snowfall = 0.3" plus some trace days. (First dry month in forever, it seems like.)

Highest temp 77f, lowest 13. 

Pulled a tick off the dog last evening.

I know it's been an early spring, but I really didn't expect that.

Seem to have received 0.01" overnight. Moist out under a PC sky.

Since I moved up here in 1997, it's snowed something like 12/20 times in April when I was here (Harford Co.). I bet we get at least flurries this April. 

Hope this is more accurate than that Eagles prediction was. 

0.60" total for yesterday+overnight. Includes a bit of sleet, but mostly rain. Cold rain.

Sleeting in Bowie/Crofton 

High of 29f today in full sun. Nice day for outdoor work. We're fortunate to not get much wind here.

Low of 13f

Wow......over 100 years between A+'s.  

Yes, very interesting. I was here for more than half of the top 20 years, and at the time, wouldn't have expected such a ranking for some of them.  E.g. I sure didn't think 81/82 (ranked 16th) was much at the time.

(Oh well; don't want to start one of those reminiscing threads. Although those are my favorites.)

Just took a measurement with a ruler. We have five-eighths of an inch of ice. Many huge oak branches have broken off. One damaged our front gate really bad.

That's a damn large accumulation of ice. Especially for Buda TX.

(Thanks for keeping up the reports Jeb.)

My total for the month = 1.52"   Below normal even though it seemed like rain every day. (12 rain days measured)

Highest temp 67, lowest 23.

0.3" for my total in Davidsonville 

Light to moderate snow falling. About 0.2" so far. Temp 31.8/30

THIS, IS VERY, VERY BAD.

Highest ice accumulations

through Wednesday will be expected from the Hill Country into the
Austin metro area where a quarter to half inch of ice will be
possible.

Half inch. That sounds like trouble

DFW already down to 27f and frz dzl.  Hillsboro 28f ; but Buda clinging to 34f on the hour.

It's a large area too.

Sunday morning low of 27.

Slate grey overcast,  calm, cold enough to snow.

I suppose it'll warm up and rain.

.... Guidance isn't perfect....

Rather an understatement, I'd say.

Low was 34 and it has only risen to 36 all day. Couple batches of flurries too, with wind. 

Guess winter wants to come back.

At this point, both you and I are wishing that we had low-balled @Little Village Wx.  However, snow lovers who are Washington Post subscribers can console themselves by consulting their archives and reading a January 20, 1987 article written by Mary Jordan titled "Snow Hopes Dashed" (p. B1).  The article stated, among other things: " . . .(DC) residents were still waiting yesterday for the area's first measurable snowfall . . .  Rain and temperatures above freezing were expected during the rest of the week, the National Weather Service said."

Two days later, DCA recorded 10.8 inches of snow.  Three days after that was Super Bowl Sunday, and an overnight storm dropped another 9.2 inches of snow.  The Federal Government was closed on Monday, but Tuesday afternoon, January 27, 1987, produced perhaps the most epic traffic jam in DC history, as the 20 inches of snow on the ground and the temperature range of 9 to 30 at DCA proved too much for the (three?) DC snowplows to overcome during the PM rush hour. (I know because I was in that traffic jam.) When that snow was finally removed and things were back to normal, February 22-23 saw another two-day storm that dropped an additional 10.2 inches at DCA.

Am I saying that the above scenario will repeat this year? . . . Of course not, only Jebman would say that.

Good post.

Got bitter cold after that too. By then I was working out in PG County, happy to avoid DC traffic. 

.02" rain overnight, but had to scrape it from the windshield this morning.  

Kinda surprised me.

Would fit remarkably well with what we've seen ever since late Fall, with major -EPO spikes that precede a transient (albeit stout) colder regime in the Midwest/East, taking place every month or so. A similar tanking of the EPO happened close to the 15th back in November, another one near the 18th of December, and now it's plausible that a similar event will take place near the 20th-25th of this month. 

Hmmm....dude might be onto something. Hafta look for analog. Time will tell

Also the early Jan snow. Made more memorable by our power being out for 2-3 days. Major State highway closed 3 days after sudden heavy snowfall, major tree damage that took  months to clear up. All in the swamps of Anne Arundel too.

I've experienced 6 decades of central Md winter storms, some very big, and I never predicted this year's snow would be in the top 20 like this.

Sorry it has taken me a few days to report the December totals:

5.18" for Dec; 54.00" for the wet 2022  (19" snow)

Lowest temp 6f, highest 63f
