  1. 38.8 inches has now fallen this season at BWI, making it the 14th snowiest season on record so far. Other than the big three winters ('96, '03, '10) this has been the snowiest season at BWI since 1979, which had a 42.5 inches seasonal total. Also, so far this is the 14th snowiest March on record, with 11.9 inches so far.
  2. Just a mere two years after BWI had the hottest Jan-Mar period ever, we are now in the running for the coldest Jan-Mar ever. We are currently tied with 1904 with an avg. temp of 32.3 degrees for the three months so far. Let's see where it ends up.
  3. We never made those first two but the March 5 one is still a possibility- record low is 10, forecasted low overnight is 12.
  4. BWI set a record daily low for yesterday and today, and a record monthly low this morning.
  5. Forecasted low tonight for BWI is 5 degrees... if we get that it will tie both the daily record low for March 4 and the monthly record low for March itself. Wow.
  6. So far this is tied for 13th coldest year at BWI (January and February)
  7. Record lowest max warning for today at BWI. Record low watch for March 1 and 5.
  8. BWI already set another daily precip record for today... top 10 wettest February potential is for real now.
  9. Daily precip records for BWI, DCA and IAD on 2/3... gives us an early lead to go after a top 10 wettest February?
  10. BWI finished tied for 8th with 1904, with an average monthly temperature of 27.4 degrees. This has been an impressive month for winter.
  11. As of yesterday we were within 0.1 degrees of tying 1994 but today's going to ruin it for sure- 47 at BWI already. I was worried about today, I figured it would end slightly above average. We should still finish in top 10 though.
  12. We're now tied for 9th coldest! The low of 5 this morning will help even more. Now I'm waiting to see if we can get colder than 1994 (which is 7th on the list and only a half degree away)
  13. After yesterday we were tied for 14th coldest. And today was well below average so that will help. I think we will get in the top 10, but its possible Friday might ruin it at the very end with a near normal to slightly above normal day. Rodney, how's DCA and IAD looking? Any chance of breaking top 10 there?
  14. ...yet another record lowest max watch tomorrow for BWI.
  15. Jan. 21 is the new Dec. 5 :-) But that made me think- what day in the year has historically had the most accumulating snow events?
  16. The era of snow futility is over. Won't be tracking this anymore fortunately. Snowfall record was beat, looks like the lowest max will get beaten too.
  17. This is somewhat of a long shot, but I believe a top 10 coldest January at BWI is now possible too.
  18. Record daily snowfall watch for tomorrow (1/21) at BWI- previous record is 2.0 inches, set in 1982. Record lowest max watch for Wed. (1/22) at BWI- previous record is 19 degrees, set in 1961.
  19. Time for a BWI snow futility update. So far we have 7.1 inches this season: If BWI records less than 4.1 additional inches this winter, we will break the consecutive 3 year snow futility record. If BWI records less than 1.5 additional inches this winter, we will break the consecutive 4 year snow futility record. If BWI records less than 2.9 additional inches, it will be the first time ever that the location has recorded 3 consecutive single-digit seasonal snow totals.
  20. Thanks. Looking at those dates you mentioned I realized I missed 1881, that ties the 1936 record at BWI for 107 degrees (-6 and 101).
  21. This is probably a RodneyS question but I wonder what the largest difference is between a daily high and daily low in one calendar year at DCA/IAD/BWI. I think 1936 may be the record for BWI- lowest temp ever recorded that year was 0 and highest recorded was 107, so thats a 107 degree difference. 1994 would be another one, with the lowest temp recorded being -5 and the highest 101, a 106 degree difference. I would think 2011 would have to be a big one too, with 8 being the lowest and 106 being the highest, a difference of 98 degrees. With 3 degrees being our lowest so far, that means we'd have to have a high of 110 this summer to tie it. LOL
  22. 3 degrees at BWI now so the record low part has been broken... just need to stay below 22 for the high now, which I think we'll do.
  23. Record low watch issued for this Saturday (Jan. 4) too at BWI.
  24. Record lowest max watch and record low watch being issued for next Tuesday (Jan. 7) for BWI ... current record lowest max for Jan. 7 is 22 and record low is 8. Forecast is calling for high of 19 Tues. and low of 11 early Tues. morning.
  25. Ha! I just about to post that before you did. Yes, the BWI low of 62 beat the previous record of 59 set on Dec. 23, 1990
