Beautiful day today! This is the kind of sunny, warm’ish day I remember as a kid that happened the day before a modest 2-4” snow. I miss those.

Might be here, lol. Was 23.9 for a low, currently 49.6 at 1:20 pm. What we HAVE succeeded in is another 'windy' day, already had a 26 WSW wind at 12:13 pm. Currently W at 11 gusting 19 mph. Amazing that the forecast at 7 am said nothing about winds until late afternoon when they 'may increase to 7-12 mph', fail. I still say we could have a 1050 high right overhead and still manage a 25-30 mph wind gust somehow.

Another high in the 50s during what should be the coldest time of the year.

50s in January is pretty common here - this isn't northern New England.

I was about to contradict you, but nope, you're right. This is the stats for every January 13th in the last 30 years at DCA. 60% of all Jan 13th's (since 1996) have been at or above 50.

Air Florida disaster 44 years ago today.  Heavy snow and inane deicing  policies and a great snow day turned horrid
