Put this on repeat

1) sunny, 55, slight breeze gusting to 20mph

2)Backdoor cold front with areas north and east of DC staying in the 40s and low 50s while Fredericksburg is 70 and sunny

Just missed a record high at 66.7 degrees, record is 67.5 from 2011.

Seems like temps may bust high today for those further south of the M/D line? Cold air push associated w the front is still working its way through central pa. BWI is already up to 48 and DCA is at 51, while KUNV is at 30. Enjoy time outside before it arrives.

Can I beat Feb's 0" of snow?

Does anyone know the DCA temp anomaly for DJF?

I cannot find the mid Atlantic snow totals thread for '23-'24.  Am I blind or just bad at searching?

[Eskimo Joe]

Point and click for today was a high of 43 and I'm already at 47.

Mine was 48F and I'm already 52F.   The temp always busts high here.
