9 pm Obs 33.5
Though we got the early morning temps it’s really not a technical cheap high because it remained mild. Something like 62 at 12:01 and 25 at 6pm really sucks.
We can have the double whammy also where 62 at 12:01 am and still 50 at 11:59. We would have not had that today either. Those snow showers gonna make it here?
I never foresaw an ice profile. Cold air source moving in on a line from ne to sw is not a freezing rain set up. Freezing rain is usually an in place or departing cold mass where the low runs into the mountains. It’s not usually front related
NWS not saying much about ice
i was forecasted for low to mid 50’s and high of 48
Rain thru Friday late morning and becoming windy from nw at 15 to 25mph with falling temperatures to 32-35 by 4-6pm and rain mixing with or changing to sleet and snow before ending around 8pm.
It was 40 at 10 which is warmest for time since 1/2..Tomorrow just 2nd time since 1/2 not below freezing and the consecutive streak ends also.
This 30 day run 1/3-2/2 is impressive but short of historic. Perhaps close to Top 20 since 1970 but unsure. Close to -4.5 during this run. We dont get a lot of that.
Gonna predict DCA continues the streak by hitting 32 at the 8:52pm obs with an overnight low of 28.
I still have 1” of fluffy snow in full shaded ground areas. The cold overnights seem to prevent any melting even with a fully shaded High of 40.
it not icy nor refrozen. It’s fluffy snow
