Jebman Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 It was hard to believe this afternoon at 3pm that there was still some snow left on the grass on north facing lawns - in 60 degree weather with sunshine. That ground must be super cold. There are still some snow piles around as well - but this weekend should roast the snow piles and unfreeze the ground. Hard to believe we will hit 70 degrees on Sunday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWxLuvr Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I had originally thought that we'd keep nearly 100% snowcover at least until tomorrow. While we still have that at about 2-3", but I'm thinking it might not last the day. Perhaps it will if it's cloudy all day. Either way, it's gone tomorrow. Nice run for early December. Stayed warm here all night. I haven't checked any obs, but I suspect that was the case everywhere with the exception of maybe some low lying areas.

Stayed warm here all night. I haven't checked any obs, but I suspect that was the case everywhere with the exception of maybe some low lying areas. My 2m temps were all over the place last night. It bounced between 35F and 49F throughout the night depending on the breeze at the time. I live at the bottom of a little hollow so cold air funnels down to me from two directions. You are right about this being a good run. This is my 13th day of snowcover although it's hard to call that snow out there. If you look closely, you can see the sled tracks from my daughter and I doing a couple of final sled runs last night: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 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. I'm ready for what's left to melt away, but my guess is that it won't be until Sunday's showers that the piles in the shade disappear. In any case, nearly twelve days of complete snow cover in December is pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 60s are all stuck down in hampton-roads right now...they are torching MOS was coolish today, though it was yesterday as well. But it did seem possible we'd cloud up and not warm too hard. I wonder how that plays out the next two though we will be deeper into the warm then as well.

wxdude64 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Just crossed 40 here in last 10 minutes, at 7 this morning it was 28.5. Got a LONG way to go to get into upper 50's considering the cloud cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvantHiatus Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Eh it's not going to snow all the time might as well not have frozen fingers every day. Being a fan of breaking records, I hope the region does not get clouded over tommorow and Sunday. That would be a real deal breaker for the 850mb temps.

snowfan Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I'm going to embrace the warm spell because we likely won't see a stretch like this for at least two months.....maybe closer to 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
