Coach McGuirk Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 snow cover and i lived in a nice valley. i have some video some where of my therms. I doubt it will get that low but RaleighWx is suggesting more significant east coast cold for January. I also said the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patreeot Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I had -3 on my car thermometer in 2000 in Bon Air. If I recall correctly, the airport couldn't do it but Petersburg did go below 0. I heard -15 from numerous people in Hanover County, from Ashland to Beaverdam. Lots of nurseries/tree farms lost Foster hollies that year which is listed as hardy to zone 6a (-5 to -10), but has grown in 5b (-10 to -15). In town, those same plants were fine.

RIC Airport Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 It's apparent that a rather noteworthy arctic outbreak may take place in long range period. In my opinion, severe arctic outbreaks are those that are responsible for official high temperatures below 20°F and low temperatures below 0°F at RIC. The two most recent episodes of this took place in early February 1996 and mid January 1994 when RIC's low temperature reached -2°F and -1°F respectively. Although the temperature reached -1°F on January 28, 2000, this was solely due to radiational cooling from an intense snowcover. The aforementioned occurrences as well as the January 1985 outbreak, when RIC had two consecutive nights below 0°F, were purely air mass driven. It will be interesting to see how the pattern evolves over the next week or two with a potential -EPO causing a cross polar flow as models and a few prominent mets seem to indicate. The all time record low is -12°F and occurred because of snowcover in excess of 20" after a historic southeastern US snowstorm hit areas from ATL to DCA in late January 1940. The following are some recent below 0°F readings at Richmond. Since 1897, there have been a total of 37 occurrences. -1°F January 28, 2000 -2°F February 5, 1996 -1°F January 19, 1994 -6°F January 21, 1985 -1°F February 11, 1979 -8°F February 10, 1979 -1°F January 17, 1977 -1°F January 22, 1970 High temperatures below 20°F are even less frequent with a total of 26 occurrences. The all-time lowest maximum temperature at RIC is 11°F set way back in February 1899 when observations took place at Chimborazo Park. These are the coldest daytime high temperatures at RIC since 1930 when observations for record began at the present airport site in Henrico County. 12°F January 19, 1994, January 9, 1970 14°F December 25, 1983, February 18, 1979 15°F January 21, 1985, February 9, 1934 16°F January 11, 1982 17°F January 17, 1977 18°F February 4, 1996, January 30, 1966, January 30, 1966, January 8, 1942 19°F December 22, 1989, January 18, 1977, January 26, 1961, February 17, 1958 I was looking back at the coldest days of the last 10 years, and it appears that January 25, 2004 wins as the high temperature at RIC was only 22°F.

I distinctly remember listening to WRVA and a caller mentioned it and couldn't understand it. I think that was just before WRVA switched to TWC for their weather.

rainstorm Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 wakefield: THERE`S NO DOUBT WITH THIS DYNAMIC OF AN UPPER LOW DROPPING SOUTHWARD INTO THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION ON FRIDAY THAT MOST AREAS WILL AT LEAST SEE SNOW SHOWERS/FLURRIES. HOWEVER...THIS COULD ALSO BE A NUISANCE WINTER WX EVENT THAT CATCHES A LOT OF PEOPLE OFF GUARD AND PRODUCES ACCUMULATING SNOW (1-3") ACROSS EASTERN VA AND NE NC. CONFIDENCE ATTM IS TOO LOW TO ADVERTISE A WINTER WX EVENT ON FRIDAY...BUT HAVE INCREASED TO CHC POPS ACROSS OUR ENTIRE CWA TO ACCOUNT FOR SNOW SHOWERS...AND WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR EXPECTED DEVELOPMENT OF SURFACE LOW ALONG THE COAST.
