mattie g Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Dulles was only two degrees shy of a record low this morning. BWI one shy. National wasn't even close, while both Belvoir and Andrews set records, although they don't have records going back too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Final freeze of the season tonight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowfan Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Final freeze of the season tonight? Too soon, right? I'd think the potential is there for a few more weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Final freeze of the season tonight? Prob for DCA but not IAD/BWI. It's possible the burbs don't have another subfreezing night but I would think we're still good for another 1-2 behind a cold front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Final freeze of the season tonight? Hard freeze (sub-28)? I hope so, and it very well may be for our backyards. We were down to 26 last night, which is pretty dang cold for the beginning of April, and with the medium and long ranges looking to moderate some, I can't imagine there will be anything cold enough coming after that to freeze us. I'll be putting summer vegetables in the ground in about three weeks. I'd love for the soil to warm up nicely between now and then, and for there to be no crazy late frosts!

wxdude64 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Don't forget wxdude64. He's right up there at #3. Nippy. Someone should start 1st day we achieve 80 degree contest - or something like that. Thanks Disc! Chilly this am, got down to 20 overnight. That would be a good contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Have warmed up from 29 to 38 so far. This sun is great! Hoping to get the girls outside on the last day of spring break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Prob for DCA but not IAD/BWI. It's possible the burbs don't have another subfreezing night but I would think we're still good for another 1-2 behind a cold front. Once we get to around the 22nd, it pretty much has to be a record low or very close to freeze even at IAD/BWI. Considering the modeling is looking pretty seasonable as far as we can see, that doesn't leave a lot of time. That said, Saturday morning for IAD/BWI is a possibility. I think DCA and my house are done after tonight. Hard freeze (sub-28)? I hope so, and it very well may be for our backyards. We were down to 26 last night, which is pretty dang cold for the beginning of April, and with the medium and long ranges looking to moderate some, I can't imagine there will be anything cold enough coming after that to freeze us.

I didn't even freeze this morning (32.6). The indoor/outdoor plants are being moved this weekend. I put in some early stuff (broccoli, radishes) a little while back and will go for the carrots soon.

WinterWxLuvr Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 IAD has a legit shot at a record min I don't think the KOKV records go back very far, but from the data I can find, a record low has already been set for April 3 (today), and tomorrow's record low (29) looks to be obliterated tomorrow morning.

I put in some early stuff (broccoli, radishes) a little while back and will go for the carrots soon. Your microclimate is pretty cool. Amazing that you were six degrees warmer than me this morning. I put onions, carrots, and peas in about ten days ago, but I don't have any true cool weather crops. Garlic and shallots have been in since November, and the rest of course is still to come.

snowfan Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 If anyone knows, I'd appreciate an update on cherry blossom blooms in the tidal basin. Maybe an idea of where things will be this coming weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Mike Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Flying back from a week in Palm Springs & Vegas. The weather was perfect, low 80s every day with that clear azure blue sky that we get so infrequently on the east coast. Let it be said here and now that I will be retiring in Palm Springs.

snownut Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Picture # 1 of the last snow I will ever experience at my WV place today as I was loading more stuff from my Barn. Second one was taken from webcam moments ago. Really was a good last winter there for me. We have two offers under negotiation so no more snownut pictures or posts from WV.

mattie g Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 It was pretty chilly when the wind kicked up today. Would have been fairly nice in the sun if the wind hadn't been so prominent. Pretty big negative departure over all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
