1977 was known for its duration more than daily records. There were a couple . I’ve always felt the Cold Sundays 1982 were incredible 7 day apart bitter blasts ; highs around 10 and lows at and below zero
20 for the high and just 21 at DCA
Its not rare to get a 2-3 day shot like this or colder but 7 + days is rare and this might be coldest 10 day stretch since the immortal 1977
Odd to me how this storm has a pronounced “U” formation to the precip shield . I don’t think that dramatic of a dip will occur so the outcome of this not set in stone
Mid Atlantic guy but go get this one. 50+ gusts and you will have 4-6’+ drifts everywhere, Did in 1966 Maryland eastern shore . Just got smacked here for 9”’and 7”!s still around. Now your turn!!!!
Finally finished both cars and all walkways . 3.5 hours and throwing 2X2by6” thick checks all over the place from cars . Normally would take 60-75 minutes . High so far 22
Tonight IS a cold one. We all saw last two nights pretty early on temps being forecasted too cold. Right now it’s 17.6 so 0-5 not off based 12 last night and 9 night before gets eclipsed.
Low if 12 here and I’m noticing humidity is not bone dry overnight and wondering if the snow pack interaction is keeping dew points higher and squashing the radiational?
11/27/25 is when this started and here are some stats for BWI 11/27 to 1/27.
of those 60 days 43 have been below average including 21 consecutive 11/27 to 12/17. The average temp is -3.1 for time frame. There have been 12 double digit negative average daily and just 4 double digit positive .
