Huffwx Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Currently 35.4*. Roads have been cleared and don't look treacherous anymore. ROA torched overnight with those downsloping winds. When I woke up it was 19 here in LYH and 35 in ROA> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 ROA torched overnight with those downsloping winds. When I woke up it was 19 here in LYH and 35 in ROA> It was around 20* when I went to bed. I woke up to see mid 30's. You can see the change between 4-5am.

Bob Chill Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 just hit 32 in my yard. longest below freezing stretch in a long time though. Not a terrible week with a couple inches of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87storms Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 this last storm was solid for the brief time it lasted, but at this point i'm either ready for something more significant or mine as well just bring on spring. i don't think these types of systems are enough to counter my dislike for short/cold days.

Ian Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 not sure why these bands have kept up (and lately increased) all day. they look like streamers but don't go back to the lakes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 it is all sinking south...maybe an uber band will congeal over us in a bit...2-4"? Just saw a flake. Baby steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Radar looks kind of good ImageUploadedByTapatalk1359235250.658736.jpg I'm under that green band in Loudoun - decent little snow, sticking to grassy surfaces and rooftops enough that I can tell its sticking. Lets see how long it can keep snowing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaWx Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Lightly snowing all day but picked up now and sticking to cold surfaces. Big flakes too. Sort of looks like how the Pittsburgh radar looks a lot of the time with lake effect events. Let's see how long we can stay under it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldie 22 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Pretty happy that even on days like this with these brief snow bursts that this area still gets more snow than Ian...it's pretty much all that matters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowfan Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 If February goes well I could see someone getting 20-30 billionths of an inch. If we are talking east of say, Cumberland, I think 30 will be tough without one big storm that drops 10-12 to the NW. 20 is certainly in reach.

Bob Chill Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Well, the precip is king over temps in Jan is about to literally get washed down the storm drain. 1.5"+ on 12z gfs for next week. Too bad it's going to be 20 degrees above freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterWxLuvr Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Well, the precip is king over temps in Jan is about to literally get washed down the storm drain. 1.5"+ on 12z gfs for next week. Too bad it's going to be 20 degrees above freezing. I don't agree with this. In the past month I've had one event that hasn't been all or partly frozen. That was the Monday night rain two weeks ago. The next night had some freezing rain. Other than that, any time there's been precip, it's been snow. Wait, there was a bit of rain with the cold front after the warmup. Put it this way, if we get precip from Dec 15 to Feb 15, 7 of 10 will be all or partly frozen. Just because we get a fluke rainer doesn't mean we are all of a sudden in a stormy pattern. Our problem is and has been a lack of storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clueless Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I think this has the chance to be messy. These roads are cold. Timing will make this interesting. At least the rest of the run of the GFS has some precip to look for. And I will take the washout this week. Anything except cold and dry. Wreaks havoc on the skin.

Bob Chill Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 0Z GFS is like deja vu hrs 132-168 next week what we just went through this week Yep. First clipper has looked ok upstairs for a couple days. Surface panels are juicing up now. Let's hope the trends keep the vort below us. Too close to get overly interested yet. Lotsa changes due. Midweek rainer isn't close to being resolved yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted in banter because the irony of the fact that the only high qpf storms are all rain and this one is on the heels of an anomalous cold snap. It comical among other things.

usedtobe Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 My friend frank looked back at his stats for where he lives in Waldorf since 1999 to see how many times we have had 4 days consecutive days when the temp didn't rise above 32. For those thinkint this cold spell sucked. It's been a pretty doggone good one. Days below freezing ( 32 and blow) Consecutive days below freezing2013 4 42012 0 02011 2 22010 12009 3 32008 12007 3-4 Feb ice storm 32006 02005 6 3 and 22004 7 22003 4 3 in Jan 1 in Mar2002 02001 12000 7 31999 33 consecutive days occurred 3 times, all days in Jan except as noted. Average per year around 2 days. Did not correlate whether it was snowing or snow on ground. So 4 hasnt happened for quite a while, longer than these records.

Fozz Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Very impressive, Wes! The cold spell certainly didn't suck though I would have liked more snow. Frankly I don't think I remember a deep freeze lasting quite this long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
