Saw that! I think more people need to be talking about the natural disaster thats basically unfolded on I 95 from DC to Fredericksburg. Some people have now been stranded 20 straight hours and not moved. Cars abandoned, disabled vehicles everywhere, people trying to conserve gas in 20 degree temperatures. 50 miles of the highway closed in both directions, with the northbound side making no progress. Road completely refroze and turned to a sheet of ice. Its commutageddon all over but maybe worse in some cases. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really need to move DCA’s wx station either to the National Mall or away from the furnace. Browsing stations right around them (and in Old Town near the water), they’re all at/below 22. DCA was 27 at 5:52a. LOL I feel like every time something like this happens, my reaction is shock at the insanity of their obs...because it's ridiculous. Got to 18F her, which is basically the forecast, but I'm a little surprised it wasn't lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb@MAWS Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Temp bottomed out at 15.5 Tuesday morning, coldest of the season so far. Had 6-1/4" snow IMBY yesterday on east side of Columbia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Low of 20.7 here despite deep snow cover. Can’t fight the inversion without wind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high risk Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Sneaky freezing drizzle potential early Wednesday? Several CAMs show some spotty light precip early Wednesday generally on the east side of the Potomac. Some of it is shown as rain, but some of it is freezing rain. Air temperatures are progged to be right around freezing, but the surface temperatures will likely be colder than that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormfly Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Imagine being stuck in an EV (electric vehicle) in this mess! When it gets this cold the heater will draw some serious power which will exhaust available battery capacity relatively quickly. That could be scary for someone traveling alone and without blankets.
