It wasn't 'home', but the solar eclipse in April (I was in TX) was awesome. Home I'd go with the 3.77 inches of rain that fell in about 6 hours on Aug 9th AND the total lack of snow for the year (5.7 inches).
-
That is awesome if true, hoping more are saved. That wasn't pretty.
-
First +50 temp since 1/1. High was 53.0 degrees. Currently 49.7/19.4 at 5:30 pm. Snow took it on the chin today, between the sun/wind and temp I'm down to around 33% of snow cover. Still about 2 inches in shaded areas and north facing. Had two 46 mph gusts today, one at 11:50 am and other at 2:17 pm.
-
High made a run for 50 but fell short at 47.8 degrees. Currently 31.8/22.1 at 7:45 pm.
-
Was 33.6/15.0 at 7 am, first time above freezing in a week, and only 3rd time this month. 46.0 high yesterday, low was 29.1 around midnight (again) but started up around 2 am as winds picked up.
-
Another night when the low was reached around midnight then temps climbed. Currently 31.5/25.2 at 8 am after hitting 25.8 around 11:30 pm. I could break thru the snowpack when I walked out to get CoCoRaHS this morning, first time that has happened in weeks. About 1/3 bare to 2/3 snowcover here, running bare to 3 inches in shaded/north facing areas.
-
26.6 degrees this morning, MUCH warmer than previous mornings. A bit of snow melted yesterday, should be some more occurring later today.
-
Only down to 12.1 here this morning. Did top out at 33.4 for a high, first time above freezing in several days.
-
Few flurries in the air around 5 am here, actually could count the snow grains in the CoCoRaHS gauge (22), lol. On a sad note, managed to break my oldest (18 years old) 4 inch CoCoRaHS gauge on the 'concrete' this morning getting a SWE . Luckily I had three, and wife got me a new one for Christmas, so back to three in use. Weird day yesterday. I clouded over early am and temp was stuck in single digits/low teens until noon, then around 2 pm sun popped out and I soared up to the 31.6 high in like 20-30 minutes. Temp fell back into upper teens before midnight, then rose to mid 20's through rest of night when clouds filled in and winds picked up. Currently 25.1/14.3 and cloudy.

January Medium/Long Range: Chasing more snow to close out the month
wxdude64 replied to mappy's topic in Mid Atlantic
Same, no complaints here. -
High of 31.6, almost freezing, but not quite. Did get a bit of melting from full sun between 2-4 pm, especially south facing, when temp went from 22-31 in about 10 minutes once we broke out of the clouds. Already down to 28.9/13.0 at 5:30.
-
So the thing that held me back from below zero is now helping keep it cool. Currently 14.9/3.4 at 11 am with mostly cloudy to cloudy skies. I am JUST into the clouds streaming overhead from SW to NE.
-
Wait, so from just west of Fredericksburg to 90% of the Delmarva is 100-160% of average??
-
Canaan NWR making a run at yesterday's -27, currently -24.7 at 7 am.
-
So, for second consecutive night I flirted with negative numbers, only to be denied, lol. Hit 0.2 around 8:20 am yesterday morning, then again at 2:12 am this morning before starting a slow crawl up the scale. At 7 am it was 4.5/0.0 with some high cirrus (which helped that climb, along with winds turning W/WSW around 3 am).
-
Just makes you wonder HOW cold it was in that location when the record was set. -27 there this morning. Elkins was -15, Lewisburg -2 and WSS -4. I know you can't correlate exactly, but if all those stations were -28 to -37 on that morning makes you think Canaan would/could have been in -40 to -45 range easy.
-
LOL, I can relate. Son lived in Breckenridge for a number of years. 30 was WARM. People would be outside eating like nothing was wrong. I visited in June one year, it was decent, upper 30's. There was a pickup football game going on in the field beside his apartment, teams were shirts vs shirtless lol. People get used to what they live in/with over time.
-
Yes, I've run 5-7 degrees warmer than the forecasted lows for last couple of nights. Actually ran a few degrees colder for highs though, sorta averages out in the end.
-
Currently 0.6/-2.7 after a 0.3 low, JUST missed negative numbers. Still have a few minutes to see if we can get below zero before the sun gets above the hills. High was 17.0.
-
Atlanta had a minor 'snowmagedon' this evening....
-
Currently 12.8/0.9 at 9:45 pm with WNW winds 4 gusting 11 mph. High was 17.0.
-
I RARELY wear a coat, and when I do it is because of wind, not cold.
-
-37, Lewisburg in 1917. It was -34 in White Sulphur Springs that morning, about 10 miles away.

That there is a heavy smoker!
