MN Transplant Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I know I've mentioned microclimates before, but this morning may be the best that I've seen yet. I'm the 45 in the middle, and being the good weenie I am, I can confirm it with a second thermometer in a different part of my yard. That is a 12 degree difference in about a mile, and you can see other places (out by Reston and by the Cathedral) where there are double digit differences in very close proximity.

Same thing occurred in my area last evening. Some stations were in the high 40's while mine and surrounding PWS's in lower valleys were in low 30s.

WVclimo Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Had a high of 65 yesterday after being 23 in the morning. With a warmer start to this morning, temp has already hit 65 before noon. May make a run at 70. The last 70 degree temps in January here were 1/7 and 1/8 of 2008. Also had a 67 on 1/7/2007. Last 3 Januaries, the warmest temps were 49 (2011), and 57 (2010 and 2009) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj2va Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Just absolutely gorgeous outside again. If it doesn't snow during winter, I prefer this or just slightly cooler (50ish). Walked home from the gym in shorts and a tshirt...awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mappy Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Beautiful outside - spent 2 hours earlier cleaning my car, then another hour going on a 2.5 mile walk/jog with the dog. Got the windows in the house open, and doing some chores. Good weather makes me productive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...

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...

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.

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. Your snow will come this year. 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.
