Ian Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 DCA lost the south wind like a champ. Up to 61. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 DCA lost the south wind like a champ. Up to 61. Almost never fails. 60.9 is likely to be the high at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Almost never fails. 60.9 is likely to be the high at home. 54.4F over the snowpack at 600' in Clarksburg. 54F at 4,200' (and 24+" snowpack) at Snowshoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 DCA lost the south wind like a champ. Up to 61. Wow, I didn't see that, means we probably will see 5 days with a max over 60 with two being over 65. With some luck we could hit 70 Sunday.

Bob Chill Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 My deep snowpack at the edge of my woods has remained vigilant in the face of the most ghastly day of winter 13-14. I will be putting up a tombstone tomorrow. Obituary photo below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 For those keeping track, below are the MOS (12z) forecasts for December 21 and 22, along with the daily record high temperatures for select cities: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedtobe Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Don, if the wind doesn't stay from the south for a sewer breeze, MOS should bust low tomorrow for DCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to look but tempted to trust you. It is funny.. I would consider this a cold month so far, but I guess the warmth hasn't taken its toll.

donsutherland1 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Don, if the wind doesn't stay from the south for a sewer breeze, MOS should bust low tomorrow for DCA I agree. If I'm not mistaken, some of today's readings are quite a bit higher than what the MOS had shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would consider this a cold month so far, but I guess the warmth hasn't taken its toll. Monday's 60s will be early in the morning so the daytime temps may only be in the 50s. If clouds don't mess things up, this will rank as a true torch period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 I think like 8 of the last 9 days have been warmer than forecast now. So, Sunday is probably going to be 85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 IAD is going to demolish their Saturday record. DCA is in play, depending on the river like Wes says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaWx Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Amazing difference in snowpack once you climb a little in elevation. At my house there is very patchy snow left in the shade but driving to a higher spot on a hill here in Ashburn I saw a decent snowpack in the shade it looked like it had just snowed.

notvirga! Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 okv still at 57 degrees at 5:15... i live about 10 mi sw of town, temp had already dropped to 37.

AvantHiatus Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Still torching at 50 degrees with clouds and a SW flow preventing temps from falling. Tommorow may be an over-performer if this keeps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I-83 BLIZZARD Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 High of 50 today. Currently 41 and the state of the snowpack my fellow weenies is strong (for now). 17 inches of snow and plenty of sleet and freezing rain created an iceberg. Even this glacier won't survive the weekend though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxmeddler Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 It was an interesting drive back home today. The Susquehanna was frozen and there was a clear inversion near the ground about 300ft thick. It was 41 at the river and 54 at 800ft on I-83.

jnis Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Closer to DC the snow pack is going fast. I had over 90% snow coverage this a.m. at 3 - 4", and this afternoon it was down to 60%. I'm guessing it will all be gone by the end of tomorrow. It was a good run of snow cover though...almost 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing it will all be gone by the end of tomorrow. It was a good run of snow cover though...almost 2 weeks. I have a bit more but the death of the snow pack will be tomorrow, I'd guess. Maybe a snow pile or two might last till Sunday. The high today in Clarksburg was 54.8F at 3:30pm. It dropped to 37.1F by 6:02pm. Quick fall due to the remaining snow and calm winds, I'd guess. It's still at 37F 3 1/2 hours later so it looks like that may be as low as we go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
