Avdave Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 If itsnt going to snow then days like today are fine with me. 64* was the high today, was pretty nice, even sweated taking down the rest of the decorations outside. Quick shot of the sunset tonight, stupid power lines ruin the pic though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Played a round of golf (and drank many beers) today. Absolutely ridiculously nice weather in which to do so. Shot an 83, too, which made it all the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shot an 83, too, which made it all the better! It was 68.6 when I went out to run yesterday. I came home drenched in sweat. It felt like early fall.

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Bump the thread for the upcoming rain obs. Hope everyone enjoys seeing dark greens and yellows in the radar continuously streaming over us. Of course, that would never happen with temps at or below 32. I don't know about anyone else, but my last little bit of optimism is just about gone. I can tell you without hesitation that spring can't get here fast enough for me. At least by then, I care very little about the weather, and that lasts until my grass starts turning brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I didn't know about the inevitable, unrelenting oven-baked drought that accompanies it, I'd agree with you. Optimism out the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranberryWX Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 A cold rain began falling just before 7AM, 35/32. Looks like a crappy day here. WWA is out but it warmed up enough to begin as rain in my back yard. Farther north may see some frozen precip where it's still below freezing.

Attached the plow bracket to my truck yesterday. I did not even use the plow last year yet I am totally confident based on living around here for 45 years that this is not a shut out year. I will be using the plow again within 30 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmeddler Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 A tad worried about the possibility of freezing rain in some low spots on onset of precip mainly north of I-70/68. Cumberland is currently sitting at 25/25 with rain 1 hr away, Fredrick is at 29 and even a VDOT station on Rt.15 at Lucketts in Loudoun county is 27/27.

CranberryWX Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 0.26" of rain today...currently 47, but by this time tomorrow temperature will be falling fast and there should be some snow blowing in the westerly wind. Local TV mets are hyping the change with words like whiteouts, etc...ground should be white by Friday morning at the least. CRW AFD.....Best dynamic support looks to run from the coalfields northeast towards ckb. Changeover to snow will be fairly rapid after 00z from west to east as Arctic air collapses in quickly. Looking at perhaps an inch of accumulation in the tri-state area...with 2-4 inches most other locations through 12z Friday. This snow will likely require advisory issuances.

BethesdaWX Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 looks like 40-45dbz down south about to move in, maybe a 1"+ event areawide.
