DCA has been at or below 32 since 9pm Sunday so just over 48 hours.
Whats the record year for most consecutive hours?
I’m lethargic right now but I will guess between 1977, 1982 1985, 1994?
Right now until noon Thursday the models are engaged in waffle mode. Every six hours will move back and forth showing DC proper getting from 0.5” to 5”.
Last two storms models took until 24-36 hours out to get it right. That’s the pattern so expect the same. If start time is 12 noon Friday then noon Thursday reveals the deal with some non tremendous wavering possible by midnight beforehand
We are in a snow pattern 86-87 has come up more than once in analog discussions this season. That is the greatest season in my life for snowing every time it possibly could with most events looking like 1-3” ending up 4-6.! Kinda just happened and more reinforcing cold comes in and we well may be snowing Saturday at noon and the temp not above 25
I think it was plenty cold as evidenced by the rare fact that we continued to very slowly increase accumulation during the daylight under very light to light snow
