WEATHER53

Unreal pictures from back then with people well out into the bay and cars on the ice at mouth of south river into the bay. You could not tell where the land ended and the ice began it did moderate in Feb

I tied my low record at -5 in 1982

1976 late Dec thru Jan 1977 persistent unending cold for over a month. I think DCA hit 32 for a low for 30 consecutive days DCA was like 26F for the monthly average 1979 Very snowy and very cold 1982 Bsck to back cold Sundays . Many records set 1985-Inaguration day and week one of coldest ever. -2 air temp and 30 mph sustained coldest wind chill ever experienced personally by me 1989 late Nov thru Dec Incredibly cold record setting period. Nothing close to Dec 89 in temps since then 1994 -Jan largely considered the granddaddy of cold days and several brutal cold shots 2007 Feb . Very mild Dec and Jan then -7 Feb with incredible lake effect snow. Coldest daytime wind chill for me of -15 on Lake Ontario with 10F and 40mph winds. 5-7’ of accumulated snow everywhere and not drifts. Those were 10+’ There are some others since then so please add them or any others from the time period I used.

Yes

1982 is highly underrated. Those consecutive cold Sundays were bitter cold and record setters!

It’s not scientific but it is reality for DC/ -15 departures are hard to come by and it’s a waste at this time in Nov. if it’s the beginning of a near constant 30-45 day reload pattern then that’s different but usually not the case The main thing we need turned around us the absence of Miller As. second and in conjunction are clippers cutting under us pulling down reinforcing cold air . whatever causes those two is what I want to see in projections mjo and SSW stuff to me is unproven. The two circumstances referenced above are proven

We are coming up in the truely neglected Veterans Day 1987 where DCA did a rare thing and led the way for the area airports

0.30 from the rain

The angle of the moderate rain around DC I want to see in a month when it’s 25.

Low of 30.5 so coldest low of season

Yes. 1996 ranks 3rd. The super lengthy 2016 is 4th and 1979 big drifting Blizzard of 66 incredible in Salisbury and have not seen drifting like that since. I was a yoot back then so these are my DC storms

Lot of 45 mph gusts here and 50+ around the area. Cloud movement north to south . Reminds me of good old days . November 1995. Temp 69 at 9:30 and 63,at 11:30

49 mph gust at 11:22 pm and large limb fell 25 feet away Hagerstown gusted to 66!

Without a doubt Snowmaggedon Most impressive March 1993 Superstorm

To specify more the trends and outcomes continue to indicate another improved winter from last winter. i think 2 of the three months are below average in temps with an impressive 30-45 day cold persistence . for the major airport snowfalls DCA;15-20” BWI and IAD:20-30”

Thanks Trying for a visit from him and possible seminar

A few of us knew you from day 1 and it’s been over 20 years now and you are famous so drop in and say Hi to us little people!! HMP

Numerous gusts to 40 here, peak of 46!

Can anyone guesstimate what the sustained winds and gusts are in this video ?

1.7” here. Steadiest sometime heavy rain most since May

1.7” here. Steadiest rain heavy often since May

Got to go on the epic Tug Hill Feb 2007 chase.

Wasn’t there a Black River hospital with videos early on?

If that happens Again then the model failures in winter have spread into the fall

They will prove that indeed msn can fly !!!
