  1. That was a heavy one with thunder snow but I think quite mild the next day
  2. DCA has not hit 100 since 2016 which is longest streak since 1969-1977. A dent in the “we are burning up” madness
  3. 0.65 here 3 times early Am storms in a week ala 2010 summer.
  4. Got woke up for 2nd time in a week and a torrent of rain at first and slowly taper off. 0.70” . About 10 thunders close by
  5. It rained so hard for 5-7 minutes in that ore dawn storm that when it lightning I could not hear the thunder but the house shook. One time. Never had that happen
  6. 1. Mammoth drifts and ferocious winds of Blizzard of 66 Salisbury MD . 2.Epic low pressure and 40moh sustained winds snow sleet and rain of March 1993 3. Snowmaggedon 4.1979 even though 20” it was really windy and lot of cars stuck on I95 south at 495 5. 1996 waves of snow with 1-2”ph rates.
  7. No flood watch here. 0.15” total although it came down heavy for 2 minutes
  8. Here it comes the corn dust I discussed recently ate up the light stuff which moved north and around the beltway circle. Corn dust is limited to turning light rain or snow to nothing or moderate to light. Once the precip is solid moderate or stronger the the dust has no effects
  9. So IAD 0.7 then DCA. 0.14 then BWI 1.35” Following this one time would not mean much but I see it 30 times per year starting about 15 years ago when ethanol became so prevalent Moderate to the west, weakens right around DC beltway circle, restrengthens when moving east and north . It’s most prevalent in summer and winter and not fall or spring. A unified cold front in the summer is not so effected. Just make scrupulous observations from now thru end of February and get back to me.
  10. We are the ethanol using capital of the USA. Corn dust. So far today BWI has 1.2”. Let’s see what DCA reports. You can see the storms increasing in intensity again as they exit Dc and move north and east and it’s not the first time . I watch the weather all seasons and only a few here do that. You asked a good question so thanks. That’s vastly different that the 1-2 here who feel compelled to chime in and “set me straight” . Some need to get off the company bus and learn to be open minded and look at things. Again, thanks for the good question. My answer may not datisfy you and certainly won’t a few others who overestimate their empowerment
  11. Anecdotal kinda useless. Yet another heavy solid rain mass approached DC beltway and immediately decreased in intensity Hell from PA to Richmond the DC metro took the lightest hit. Sometimes you just have to observe for a long period of time and multiple events and formulate an opinion rather than defaulting to textbook “oh that can’t be so”
  12. More and more does the corn dust circle around DC proper display itself pouring just started in Kemp Mill
  13. I think this batch gets us and winds are switching back and forth from west to east and repeat at20-25 mph
  14. I got into one of those 1.2” in 20 minutes 4/5 days ago and it’s memorable
  15. I think 75% of the areas within 2 miles of me have gotten solid rain but nothing right here
  16. 0.0 here .65 in Kensington 1.7 miles to west
  17. Poured in Kensington over by Plyers Mill and Connecticut but zero here in Kemp Mill
  18. Some sharp strikes close and very loud thunder. About 1-2 miles to my south us the worst
