  1. We drove out to Winchester a couple weeks ago (a helpful middle meeting ground between Staunton and DC to pick up my daughter when she stays with my parents lol), and I was surprised that the elevation on the east side of the BR was basically the same as the west heading towards Winchester. The valley is so much lower around Winchester than around Staunton and points south. In Rockbridge County it actually goes above 1800' until it starts descending as you head towards Roanoke.
  2. lol - now ocean piers are reviewing scientific papers and data? The word is peer - and yes, of course the climate is always changing. The issue here is human influence is causing that change to accelerate in unnatural ways. Don't talk about "peer reviewed data" if you are just going to dismiss the mountains of data and research - also peer reviewed - that supports that conclusion.
  3. it's not like 2F of warming globally means it's 2F warming around the world in a uniform manner. Not only do you have varying degrees of warming in different parts of the world, but such changes alter weather patterns such that regional climates change fairly dramatically. That seems to be what we are seeing here. A good chunk of that 2F warming has occurred since the late 20th Century.
  4. i miss living by the water (we lived in Battery Park City about one block from the water in NYC)
  5. Sun's out here - windy. Looks like we finished up with about 0.75" of rain.
  6. 0.62" here - temp has jumped up into the 50s.
  7. low of 33F both here and at DCA. It looks like our days of not reaching freezing most of the time are coming to an end soon.
  8. looks like it's about wrapped up - 2.72" of rain, pressure is down to 28.83" or 976mb - wow.
  9. yep - that's exactly what it is. Just sounds like there's a plane chilling above us.
  10. he must not know that parts of Alexandria flood from a light shower lol
  11. yeah just picked my kid up at Janney (which is about the highest point in DC, 415' or so) - wind was ripping.
  12. Man you can really hear the wind roaring up about 500-1000 ft. Sounds like a plane is parked over us - reminds me of being in Manhattan during Sandy.
  13. maybe Santa is headed to an awards show in LA or something
  14. big ol tropical raindrops here with the heavy rain - just awesome for January lol 50F with 1.21" so far.
  15. we don't have school buses (kids take public transportation, walk, or are driven) - I wonder if that is part of it.
  16. lol DC will struggle to break 20F.
  17. so many great breweries near you - seriously??
  18. honestly college too with all the realignments. Your classic Atlantic Coast Conference rivalry of Stanford and Cal, and of course the Big-10 with 18 teams.
  19. it is kind of humorous that lows in the mid-upper 30s are referred to as "cold!! bundle up in the morning!!" by local mets on TV (maybe Doug and Topper excepted) - in mid winter.
