that's odd there are freeze warning in SE GA. Their growing season should be over by now, right? Or maybe protocol down there is just to always issue them if <32F temps are expected.
-
I mean I get it in some areas - where he lives, there are students that live way up in the mountains at 3000+ft. Those roads are treacherous in optimal conditions. I remember Augusta County schools being closed some days when we were sunny and clear in the city. However, you go up into the mountains - different ballgame. But Fairfax County? Come on.
-
looks like we have a new land windspeed record! Move over Tropical Cyclone Olivia!!
-
Feb 2015 in NYC was extremely cold - the Hudson was mostly frozen over right to downtown. But it was only in Feb 2016 where NYC recorded its only sub-zero reading since 1994.
-
was thinking today they would record a sub-freezing high, but nope.
-
yep - it's part of the inevitable aging process. "Those young kids are soft!!"
-
would be kinda funny if we had massive blizzards every decade on the 6th year of that decade. So far it's the trend since 1996 (I'll give us Feb 2006 since DC north was pretty good).
-
my road was plowed throughout the entire storm by some guy in a rented white pickup truck. The Japanese ambassador's residence (at least the back of the property) is about 3 blocks away - so I wonder if that has something to do with it.
-
lol DCA hit 32F.
-
yeah VDOT is pretty bad with snow. That's one of the differences between living in a city vs county in VA. In our city, the city was responsible for clearing snow (and did an OK job). The county roads were always terrible lol.
-
yep - DCA is like NYC (Central Park). The wind will keep the temp dropping so it's somewhat comparable to other areas. Calm winds mean the temp stops dropping only a little bit after sunset.
-
i feel like growing up the school districts weren't this soft. you'd miss the day it snowed, and usually the day after (if it was >6"). Only time you'd miss more is if there was a lot of icing that didn't melt or it was a class Nor'easter (with 12+").
-
yeah the sun is doing jack rn
-
100%. A calm 0F is very peaceful. 20F with a 20mph is absolutely brutal.
-
25F here with winds 15-20mph. Fuckin brutal. I do not like cold + wind (unless it is actually snowing out)
-
20F here in NW (19.8 to be exact) - such a struggle to get below 20 in the urban areas any more.
-
Looks like KSHD (Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport / Staunton) got down to 0 early this morning. Pretty good cold wave, but that happened a few times a winter when I was growing up.
-
DCPS was like - get your ass to school. Suburbs are soft, no offense lol
-
if the wind levels off so too will DCA's temp drop. But the winds are good for at least a decent low there.
-
seems like DCA should get into the teens tonight.
-
we can get onboard with that
-
not an issue if people shoveled the sidewalks in front of their house. In DC they will fine you quite quickly if you don't.
-
My two cents - 1996 is still the king. Then snowmageddon (because of back-to-back huge storms), then 2016. I'd put 1993 somewhere in there because in the western parts of the region it was an epic, epic blizzard. I remember barely being able to see past a couple of houses at the height of it.
-
pretty pathetic to be closed for 4 days - it's not like we got 20" of snow. DCPS opened today (and will obviously be opened tomorrow).
-
cold here - but DCA still without the subfreezing high.
