WEATHER53

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.

Snowed hard for 75 minutes and got 0.6” then sleet and now freezing rain or rain and 32.6

Myopic people spreading myopia

Almost every event has turned out warmer . Models even had last night too cold most places.

Outstanding! Hot chocolate or little stronger?

This has been the least hearolded so lets see what happens!

10pm 24.7. Winds have lessened. Lowest wind chill was 12. Looks like steady 1F drop per hour thru 7am.

Winds holding up at 15-20 keeping wind chills 12-15 and currently 25.5F High of 31.5 was my coldest sunny day high of the season

Today was easy clean up but all frozen now
