Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA cold area of high pressure from Canada pushed into the mid-Atlantic region on the 19th and remained overhead through the 22nd. This caused skies to clear, winds to drop to zero, and temperatures to plummet into the mid 20s to lower 30s during the early morning hours of the 20th, 21st, and 22nd. A record low temperature of 31 degrees was set at Dulles International Airport on the morning of the 22nd. Several backyard gardeners and local farmers lost tender vegetation to the late season frost. Damaged vegetation included grapes, soybeans, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, cucumbers, beans, and young Christmas trees. Corn plants were expected to have stunted growth due to the damaging frost. Monetary losses were estimated to be in thousands of dollars.
