WEATHER53

This is an arctic siege due to duration length. It’s not a frigid one or two day blast which often sets our records but rather a protracted highs 18-25 and lows 0 to 10.

Low of 11 with minimum hourly wind chill of -4 Any south to southwest breeze influenced warm up is going to travel hundreds of miles over snowpack before reaching our snowpack . It will be interesting to see how that influences milder air attempts starting with tomorrows predicted high temps of 30-33 and 32-35 Tuesday for DC

I gotta get all the data but I think this breaks the record from 1977 for 7 day cold streak

Where is the center of the low? is that it?

7.0 for me and20 at1:45pm

Yes

Green echos lifting due north

94 was extreme and 96 serious business .

1977 was known for its duration more than daily records. There were a couple . I’ve always felt the Cold Sundays 1982 were incredible 7 day apart bitter blasts ; highs around 10 and lows at and below zero

Clouds moving in from south later and I guess that’s virga in the radar ?

20 for the high and just 21 at DCA Its not rare to get a 2-3 day shot like this or colder but 7 + days is rare and this might be coldest 10 day stretch since the immortal 1977

Odd to me how this storm has a pronounced “U” formation to the precip shield . I don’t think that dramatic of a dip will occur so the outcome of this not set in stone

The 1025 high on top of us is typically not a suppressor so there must be other elements in play to carry the storm ene and miss us?

Low of 7.5 and that’s coldest so far and currently 16.8
