    Lost a lot . Bare spots showed up and snowboard and full shade at 3.5. It’s slick in few full shade spots.evenb though temp not freezing. I guess because ground so cold?

    I have a hand written winter weather diary from 1965 until I stopped in 2015. i would like to publish it maybe or find some way to share copies of it. There are some staggering hourlies that we just rarely have put together in last 25 years. One excetpt from Blizzard of 66 is “…19 degrees ant 2 and just snowed 3” in last 2 hours so up to 10” and dad says radio said winds are 40 mph. I can’t see dad standing by the lamppost…”

    Remember in 1979 when the ocean froze along OC.? Took a while to figure out but extreme cold and very heavy snow allowed slush to accumulate and it froze. It’s also believed that very strong n-nne winds pushed similar ice and snow formation from out of Delaware Bay and down to OC coastline. I’ve got pics of me about 150 feet into the frozen mass and at that point I began to feel something different under my feet so headed back in.

    Cars were on South River where it exits into the bay. You could not tell where the snow covered land ended and the frozen snow covered water began. I think all but the channel maxed out over a foot thick of ice.

    Hope you get better snd that children did not get it. Our grandchildren had a nasty stomach big and I got that last week for 5 days. I may have been a tad surly then.

    I shoveled the fully shaded slate patio and after I got all the snow off, the slush film refroze with a 43F air temp!! Cold cold nights !

    1/21/24 update i thought about asking around Jan 1 that might I be off by +2 for DJF. I had Dec +1 and it was 2 too low so would my -2 for JF turn out as 0. Zero is no torch for JF so decent snow still a good idea. Just past halfway point and my snowfall ideas are halfway there. This was a great cold and snowy 9/10 days. I’m rooting for more!

    Fell back below freezing at 8:30 so that was the longest time above freezing here in a week. 31 now so crap weather starts and maybe something Sunday and then more crap and by 2/6 we are back in business?
  13. WEATHER53
    5pm Down to 35.5 after a high of 37. Most hours above freezing since late last Sunday

    I remember a lot of talk about upcoming SSW warming event and the great results forthcoming from it. Is that part of what benefited us over last week?
  15. WEATHER53
    37 for the high
  16. WEATHER53
    So the way it is now we will know by early Saturday what Sunday will bring.

    DCA does not match in with other stations, not even close. BWI IAD Camp Springs are consistent in their relationship with each other. DCA uniquely 5-15+ on many occasions. And Most Importantly, although it’s rare for the Potomac to be frozen it has happened and the discrepancy is still there.
  18. WEATHER53
    No but you can reference that IAD was much closer to about 4/5 other stations who were all pretty close to each other in the area and DCA stands alone. I question other stations that are way closer to DCA than camp springs as to the location of their thermometer. Screwed into a balcony on a condo?
  19. WEATHER53
    1pm 34F with 3-4.5” remaining in all areas but 6.5” still on full shade snowboard
  20. WEATHER53
    Would you rent out your dazzling self????
  21. WEATHER53
    97-98 too warm every time so we’ve done away with that this Jan and this year looking more like 86-87 right now
  22. WEATHER53
    Sorry. DCA did make it to 21. I can umagine if a thermometer is out in front of the Williard with macadam , brick and buildings then radiation is hampered, if you live in a townhouse ior apartment and your thermometer is secured on or around the building then the same thing. Out in a field surrounded by open space and runway then same Doesnt apply. But, it’s FAA and not NWS.
  23. WEATHER53
    Low of 14 IAD made it to 7 and DCA cracked freezing at 31.
  24. WEATHER53
    My wind chill has been 23 or lower for 50 consecutive hours
  25. WEATHER53
