Good cold surface baro 30.25 ish. Last thousand feet is the decider this time of year.

My 1981 Lawn Boy pusher with no safety stop mowed those blades for 26.5 seasons.

Winding down again, an annual bummer but it lessens after many. I like spring better than years ago, summer still too hot, fall great

Interesting snippet is that DCA was above average in temps all three months, above average in precipitation in all three months, and above average for annual snowfall. We can’t find another season where that has happened since records started at DCA.

Way to go on the million mark. How are the hall of fame crew?

I did my net and -3.8 vs 4.8 equals 1.0. It’s an honor to be in 4th with such a stellar top 10.

Yep this proved to be true also and then my cautioning statement,met with howls of derision, made around 12/20/18 that we were embarking on a dangerous” 10 days away” modality.

I love snow and I love it when Anybody gets it so go get it!

3pm update Mixing began at 2:30 with a snow, wet snow/rain mix oscillating. Temp dropped from 39.8 to 36.8.

Grading the outcome Excellent call by Keith on temps. All three months in the plus and although a bit milder than he predicted still an A-. In snowfall he went 12 for DCA and at 16.5 thru end of Feb that’s just 4.5” off so will give that a C+. Overall B My temperatures were a bust, decent for Dec but bad for Jan and Feb. A D/D-. My snowfall call of 15 for DCA was excellent, A/A+ and for IAD and Bwi (18-22)good, a B. Overall temps and snowfall a C+. Good job again and better than most seasonal forecasts which went cold and big snow

He has the predisposition to negative melancholy that many do.

So can the coastal low veer the winds and get us 1/2 degrees colder up top?

33.1 90% rain 10% wet snow/sleet

Going to be close 850s just +1 and good baro and decent north component to winds

March trying hard

A 1.5” sleet and snow pack does not go away even with March radiance and 35F. Car still covered.

2:30 final light snow 0.5” accumulation, 32.6/31

Heavy sleet and snow, 0.75ph rate, 0.3 accum . 34.2

1:20 Not many soft floaters yet but grass and board are covered mostly sleet. 34.4F

Slow transition from rain and sleet at 12:20 to snow and sleet at 1a 34.6F

12:30 am special obs Rapid onset of sleet and snow, temp down to 35

11pm obs 36/21, cloudy.

60mph house shaking gust at 11:15pm!

Somebody did a good wattage evaluation during the day. It would be interesting to see what wattage is being generated at 12 noon January 10th versus March 10th with full cloud cover but not precipitating.

+/- 0.1 for us at DCA. Closet to pin I think!
