Disc Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I can do without the ice, but soundings from ROA look too warm (5*C) at the surface anyway; I'm counting on it being rain. We usually don't get much in the way of ice in the valley on border line stuff. The higher elevations surrounding the valley may see something.

Well take that back, Cad signature in January now means 40f and rain. Probably a few degrees colder than the GFS suggests but no serious ZR event.

RevWarReenactor Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I really do think we are still paying for the Winter of 09-10. Law of averages. Mother nature has a way of balancing things out. I'd much rather have modest snowfall years, every year, instead of 1 year where we get 70 inches and 3 years with nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldie 22 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'm becoming very skeptical of the harshness of this cold....a couple days of highs in the mid or upper 30's? Oooohhhhh scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Really foggy out there, but not quite as bad as overnight.. Yesterday didn't warm up all that much. Hope today doesn't bust low, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure looks that way....low 50's next Saturday...watch all of the moaning and groaning. My area has had 5-6 nights with temps in the low 20's this year...if that's what this blast delivers then who cares...saying anything other than climb anymore is just guesswork....man I'm down on this weather...time to sit back and watch until something pops up....I know Wes....I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't it last year RIC got nailed and we got flurries. On a positive note this weekend torch is failing at least in my backyard...40s yesterday and barely 50 today with constant drizzle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amped Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'm surprised nobody else came out to Jonjons for Sandy. What did they think, 30+ events grow on trees in DC?

Swiscaster Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 So much for sunny and 60 today. another epic bust unless something happens soon. but watch Gwen Tolbart on Channel 5 tonight still say how beautiful it was today. Last night, she said yesterday felt like spring and called the high of 51 at DCA "unbelievable!" Someone tell her she is not in Canada anymore.
