RIC_WX Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Guessing those lakes are still mighty warm. May need to contemplate a LES chase when we finally do get cold. This might be the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Druff Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 hit 26 this am. both mornings of dec. are the coldest so far this season not bad in all this warmth talk I was a bit cooler than you: 24.9 last night. First night with a 24 spot. Is it just me or are our nights running a few degrees colder than the last few years? I don't know if it's just that I'm paying more attention because I'm still trying to grow some vegetables or what, but it just seems that way to me.

RIC Airport Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I was a bit cooler than you: 24.9 last night. First night with a 24 spot. Is it just me or are our nights running a few degrees colder than the last few years? I don't know if it's just that I'm paying more attention because I'm still trying to grow some vegetables or what, but it just seems that way to me. No way, the lowest temp of the season so far at RIC is only 28F. Looks like only 3 days of subfreezing temps for November while the average is 7 days for the 1981-2010 period of record.

I sit with hills sheltering me almost 360 degrees around. Last night, I was 6 degrees colder than the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Druff Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Yesterday's 12z and last night's 0z Euro continue to advertise the possibility of flakes falling in Central VA, which would be fantastic. In a pattern as ridiculously unfriendly for snow as this one, I'm not going to be greedy. But, I would love the chance to take photos of my Christmas decorations with flakes in the air. From this distance, at least, it does appear as though our streak of white Christmases is going to end at 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mota... 64 MPH wind gust @ RIC. I almost made a comment earlier that it was looking Irene-like out there for awhile. Apparently that wouldn't have been a stretch. I had to run an errand this evening about 6:45. Driving east on Cary Street from the Huguenot Bridge, the wind came up like mad. I drove in Isabel, and I drove in Irene, and I was never scared the way I was scared driving tonight. My car was hit by three separate branches, and a transformer blew about 20' from my car. At one point it was so bad I wondered if I needed to be worried about a tornado. When I got home, my power was out. In the 20 minutes I was gone, the temp dropped from 64 to 52.

Kevin Druff Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Crazy temperature drop with that line of storms. Heavy, heavy rain and wind. Much worse than I expected. Will we squeeze a flake out of the air in a few hours? Cannot imagine we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlo Snow Maker Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 the cherokee rd area was hit hard. numerous roads were closed, power lines down everywhere. the entire ridge line on the south side of the river seemed to have the most trees down from old rd to huguenot bridge. these same places got hit very hard during irene and isabell. the elevation is pretty much a straight drop off from the hill tops to the river leaving alot of steep vertical exposure to the land. thats my guess as to why it always seems like they get pounded there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Druff Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Running +3.3* relative to normal... it feels considerably worse after last year's -7.1* departure and the prior year's -1.0*... The +15 and +20 days are just brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
