Enhancing Snow Chances: Computer Models Simulate Stormy Winter in Washington D.C.


It’s around 80 degrees in Washington but, with much colder air set to arrive next week, it’s not too soon to talk about winter.

A building El Niño event is set to deliver considerably more winter-weather potential compared with last year in the Washington region. A mere 0.4 inches of snow fell, and it was abnormally mild.

El Niño is known for snowy winters in the Mid-Atlantic. Recall that the El Niño winter of 2009-2010 was the snowiest season on record in Washington. But El Niños can also be crushing for snow lovers. Sometimes they bring in too much warm air; it’s not a coincidence that Washington’s two least snowy winters (1972-1973 and 1997-1998) occurred during El Niños.

What does El Niño mean for D.C. cold and snow this winter?
