KAOS Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I like how it snows at 50 degrees here but rains at 33. Exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoast NPZ Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Meh, I've seen it rain here with temps in the teens. Now that is maddening. Snow at 46F is just an annoyance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxdude64 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Sun, snow, sun, snow over and over and over....... Had enough this am for an accumulation for day, otherwise whitens ground then melts. Snowshoe's camera on the other hand is ridiculous! Full whiteout conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snownut Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Cold and windy after a couple nice warm days sucks IMO Cold and windy always sucks without snow, even when there is snow I could do without the wind... unless it is drifting 5' high. I am very ready for spring as it has been a satisfactory winter IMBY's. Onward... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuddz Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Finally saw Comet Pan-STARRS tonight! Was just barely naked-eye visible once I found it in my binoculars. Tried Tuesday night, we climbed up to the top of a big mound where they're building a new development at the intersection of 32 and Cedar Lane. Never saw it through binoculars but there was a german guy there with a nice camera and you could pick it out on the longer exposures. Might try again tonight.

EastCoast NPZ Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Despite nearly perpetually being annually promised, for the first time in many years this was an I-81 winter. Near normal climo snowfall out here despite the misery in the DC region. I can honestly say, however, this feels like the crappiest "normal" winter I can ever remember.

Never saw it through binoculars but there was a german guy there with a nice camera and you could pick it out on the longer exposures. Might try again tonight. Last night was my 3rd try. I tried Tuesday night as well but couldn't find it. I finally walked around my neighborhood enough to find a decent spot (although it overlooks an intersection) where I can see the horizon with a minimum of obstructions. Wasn't worth hauling my telescope to that spot to try and get a picture. Should be slightly higher in the sky each night going forward, but probably will get dimmer as well.

Yeah, I was thinking of bringing my telescope as well but where we went was very muddy and that's all I need... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 my post 3/15 climo sucks worse than I thought..since I moved back to DC for 94-95 winter, other than a bunch of cartoppers, only 7 measurable and none over an inch... ~1" 3/16/07 ~0.5" 3/19/97, 3/31/97, 4/9/00, 3/30/03, 4/7/07, 3/27/11 Climo is awful post 3/15, even at IAD.

Bob Chill Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Climo is awful post 3/15, even at IAD. I'm still scratching my head why the 6 weeks prior ended up being a snow disaster. I never expected a big winter once the nino died. I don't think anybody was. I'm beginning to hate the words "pattern" and "potential". How we walked away with a virtual shutout in the cities is baffling. And disgusting. Absolute battery acid and vinegar soaked lemon pills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 High of 38.7F with 15mph NW winds gusting to 39mph in the last 2 hours. Nice late Jan / early Feb day. 37.1F now with a DP of 13F (!) headed to the 20's once the winds die down after midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have spent so much time in the misery of the DC crowd that you forgot to enjoy all the normal we have had out this way. At this point be thankful for normal, I am sure many of the DC posters are wondering if "normal" is a thing of the past for their area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 So with crystal clear skies I thought it a good evening to see the comet. Kept looking out the window, walked outside too in the cold as the sun set. Looked in right spot according to the websites that are following it but could not see it. Decided to go on a small comet chase to a location with a better west view. Finally saw the damn thing there, about a full hour after sunset with dark skies, but damn it is dim looking and hard to see overall. Very low in the sky above the horizon didn't help. It seemed much lower than depicted on the websites. I wanted to get a pic but it was much too dim for the camera to get it. Really pales compared to the glorious Comet Hale-Bopp in March 97 which was sitting much higher up in the sky and glowed bright and beautiful. So this is my comet chase story. It was a cold 35 degrees to keep this weather related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
