usedtobe Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 well i guess i meant "cooldown" like "hey it feels cool out there today" or "cool august". usually at some pt in august we get a decent cold front that gives a few nice days at least. Let's hope we don't have a 1980 like year with the 90 plus temps into September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIC Airport Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 21 at DC, but we quickly jump toward the top after the next few. Though I don't have "second longest" by yr, which perhaps I should since a yr like 1988 had a 21 and an 18 (which would be second longest on its own). DCA's record would've been 25 straight days in 1995 if it wasn't for the lone 89 right in the middle of the stretch. Meanwhile, Richmond went on to set a record of 27 straight days that year. With things looking as they do now, this current streak is looking to be in the top 3 longest streaks on record for RIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCMetroWinston Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Are there any longrange dynamics on the horizon to deliver a cooler air regime to us, besides the encroaching fall season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Fun with the old board. Wife is late at work, so I logged into Eastern to reminisce about fun times (damn, we went through a lot of threads in the first 10 days of Feb '10). Of course, most people linked to images instead of uploading them. Was going through an early one, and Randy posts a map and just states "Cue the Jaws music". Right now that map just has a big 'ol 594 ridge in the center of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 NE Balti-Zen, if for some chance you go outside today for lunch and are near the convention center... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take pics. Otakon is this weekend and I no longer drive downtown so I won't get to see the hilarious outfits. Just back from a work trip, and about drove into a building after seeing one of the attendees heading down that way. Had no idea it was back, and may have to head down there for the fun and people watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 By the way, I was in SF for a conference mid-week. When the plane landed on Tuesday morning in SF, the pilot informed us it was 56 degrees. I just giggled. And then spent the rest of Tuesday walking around downtown as the temps soared into the low 60s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 any statistics and logic aside last summer felt worse than this one. The summer as a whole was worse last year (18 vs 10 90+ days in June and coming off the warmest Spring on record), however this July has just been obscene.
