In 2025, "last freeze" dates at DCA/IAD/BWI:

DCA: March 3

IAD: April 9

BWI: April 9

Thanks I was wondering about this. Hoping that this is our last Freeze up here. Getting a new HVAC system put in tomorrow. After the morning the day looks good for not having any heat or air con for the day.

Just light sprinkles in Fairfax City.

I can't see locations on mobile; I assume it's only the high mountains that are getting actual snow.

if you turn your phone sideways you can see locations.

I'm impressed with this airmass. It's late April and I'm only at 50° as we approach noon.

You can just keep that stuff to yourself thank you very much.

Speak for yourself. I'm up past 60 degrees at UVA. Beautiful spring day with a nice breeze.

I think it was Spring '22 that had a few of those hail/snow showers through April here.

Brief graupel/snow shower just came through Great Falls.

So do I record a T today in DC/Arlington? Been inside all day.

Seems reasonable to assume a T.  We have now had three separate graupel/snow showers blow through, all moving NW-SE (and Arlington is SE of us).  Together with @pazzo83's DC observation, seems likely that both Arlington and DC got a T.  But maybe that's just my weenie logic.

I got my April Trace in at 1:52pm this afternoon with a brief light burst of some gruapel/mangled snowflakes.
