First Winter Storm of 2009 in Washington DC

Here are two pictures from the first snowfall of the Washington, DC (Bowie, Md.) area from our backyard on Jan. 27th. Yesterday, Jan. 27: 2-3" of snow fell, then changed to snow and sleet after midnight, then finally freezing rain. Ice accumulation was around a 0.1 of an inch on top of the additional nighttime snow and sleet accumulation of 1 to 2 inches. Wednesday morning was a treacherous, icy mess. Wednesday: Freezing rain mixing with rain by noon, then rain after noon. High 37. New ice accumulation of less than a 0.1 of an inch. At Night: Rain changing back to scattered snow showers before midnight. Low 25. Breezy, with a west wind 20 to 23 mph decreasing to between 9 and 12 mph.
