WEATHER53

Was that the 3 day one? There were some insane numbers in that one. I think DCA gusted 40+ for over30 consecutive hours? i

Pepco so much better than10 years ago. I was up at Rt29 and Randolph Rd and it was windy around 6pm but nothing else.

After couple hours lull it’s come back with gust to 49 i know they do t keep official wind chill but dark and 51 with sustained 25 gusting to 45 is cold

Peak gust 52 and I think winds will increase a bit from 7-10pm. Stay out of the woods warning in my forecast this evening and after feeling like 95 in the direct sun a few days ago by 10pm tonight it will feel like 35-40.

Periodic clod patches moving thru but during clear time now down to 40

Gusts roar in and temps drop,,38.5 and in those 30+ gusts it is biting

Gonnacover plants. Is this our new winter In spring like last year. Snow close like May10 or 9 last year? 2 months back to back below average usually happen but just gotta get it to cycle right for Jan and Feb, so once every 5 years which is kinda how DC has worked around me since 1976.Big snow and/or big cold every 4/5 years 1977,1979,82,83,87,93,94,96,03,06,09,10,14,16 3/4 are cold more than snow and the real monsters like 79,83,93,,96,03,09,10 works out to more like 1 in 7 .

44 high down in the holler. Sun just does not work on this downhill like up at a level soccer field until May. . Low 29.

Largest negative departure of the year at DCA, -13.5 and by couple degrees.

Seen snow two different times today. If I read it right Snowshoe forecasting -15 wind chills and low of 10.

Hi January 1 2021. 33F with a stiff NW wind. Headed into upper 20’s in some spots. Wind chills in teens. April ghouls

Torrents and winds gusting

There have been some real nice 10pm to 8am April overnights but by afternoon it’s 45 or milder.

48mph gust Roaring. Long stretches of 25+.

55mph gust furniture and cans scattered small limbs down could hear it roaring 5-7 seconds before it got here

I hope it gets moister because would be fun to see moderate precipitation meets 2F dewpoint.

Wow on the dew drop thought I might break my record from 1967 , 77 high didnt(DCA did at 79) and my midnight record is 58 also 1967 but I’m down to 57.7 at 11:15 ive got a diary of weather from mid sixties to 2012. It was on display at couple of early conventions. Almost every day of every month had something happen from 30 or so chronicles per year for 45 years. Covers a lot of dates. so I’m going to start up a On This Date thread in a bit. If you like it send money and if not don’t say anything because I’m very tender..

Models have been too cold plus incorrect assessment of upper air warm layers all winter.

In like a windy lion 37F gusting to 30

39.04N 77.00W 357’ elevation

Looks like a heavy burst of snow or mostly snow moving north of DC lasting 20-30 mins so maybe accumulations?

Was this expected? I know it’s short lived . precip types versus forecast has been tough to hit this season

10:30 36.1 40% sleet 60% rain.

10pm 35.9 80% rain 20% big snowflakes

The glacier in full shade is sustaining and treacherous.
