das Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 7.7F was the low in Clarksburg about 40 minutes ago (6:20am). Coldest morning of the year so far. 11.1F was yesterday's low but it was at 1am. Temps rose to 17F by daybreak. High was only another 3 degrees higher at 21.1F as the CAA kicked in behind the trough and flurries yesterday. Edited to add: just dropped to 7.4F at 7:19am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdhokie Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 12 just south of BWI when I left at 7:30AM. Cold and dry sucks. If it ain't going to snow, at least warm it up a little. $300 heating bills with no snow to show for it blow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Thats what i said, been snowing on and off for an hour well if you look at burke va vs. ric there is a lot wider snow band down there. snow tends to fall through dry air easier than rain in my experience but there's not much falling up this way at all and it's mainly moving east.

LongRanger Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I'd like to think the 7 degrees here helped reduce the overwintering stinkbug population, but those little home invaders are as persistent as they are stinky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Chill Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Yea, what's up with that? Looks like a big plume of overruning is developing in front of our low in the gulf. Extrapolating radar indicates that the models are busting huge and we could be in for a long duration HECS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nw baltimore wx Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I thought that this might be a good place to post things that weren't so pressing so as to not clutter the main storm thread. We should probably leave that thread for those that have legitimate meteorological posts. Anyway, a couple of people have already said that it looks like temperatures will bust much lower than thought today. Any thoughts? And as far as WSW for the remaining LWX area, I read this on their site from the 11AM discussion, so maybe a watch for others with the afternoon package around 3 this afternoon. THERE STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY WITH THIS SYSTEM AS IT WONT TAKE MUCH TO CHANGE THERMAL PROFILES FROM ONE SUPPORTING RA TO SN ACROSS A GOOD PART OF THE AREA. AFTER A LOOK AT THE 12Z GUIDANCE...WILL MAKE HEADLINE ADJUSTMENTS IF NECESSARY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
