Wettest day was the 11th with 2.18 inches falling. There was 9 days with measurable, one day with a 'T' and 21 dry days. No snow fell for the month vs the normal of 0.1 inches. Highest wind recorded was 32 mph on the 18th, with only 5 days with winds above 25 mph. Two new records, the 15th with the record high and the 16th with a new record 'warm minimum'. A warmer than normal month, and VERY dry month except for the two days (11&12th) where 3/4's of the monthly total fell.

Just past peak here Saturday, already some muting and browning today. As others have said, a solid 10-14 days behind normal. The color we had last week was really good though.

You meant AT DCA, right?

Bottomed out at 30.9 degrees this am, first freeze of the year.

Event total 3.25" here.

0.90" in the gauge at 5 pm, so added to the 2.18" from 7 am CoCoRaHS I've crossed the 3" mark for the event at 3.08". Still a drizzle/mist falling, with a quick shower mixing in at times. Current 59.9/59.4 is the high for the day so far.

Missed this thread when I posted earlier, I'll stick this here too.

2.18" here at 7 am CoCoRaHS reading. Another 0.33" has fallen since. The 2.18" is NOT a record for the date, that still stands at 2.49" from 1990. Currently 57.5/57.1 with rain and fog at 8:20 pm.

Beautiful day after the fog burned off. High was 72.2 about 45 minutes ago. Currently 69.7/40.9 at 3:50 pm with almost perfectly clear skies. A very light NNW wind at 3 mph. Temp probably going for that dew point overnight.

LOTS of data missing from this, but my grandmother lived in Quinwood from 1988-2011, epic winters there! The Jan 1998 data isn't there, but I KNOW they had 27" fall from that event, plus a few smaller ones the rest of the month. PS- I forgot about that incredible Feb in 2010 lol!

Temp has dropped all day, currently 55.4/54.6 with rain at 3 pm. Closing in on 2/3's inch since it started.

Had 0.30" at 7 am and 63.6 degrees. Currently is 58.5/56.9 at 11:15 am with light rain and fog, another 0.20" since 7 am.

Had a shower come thru about 6 pm, dropped 0.08", a start.

Thankful for the clouds that have moved in during the last hour. Currently 81.1/65.3 after an 83.8 high around 3 pm. I'd probably be pushing records if not for 2019.
